AIR SYSTEMS INC. BEGINS TO GENERATE ITS OWN POWER
San Jose, CA, November 17, 2003 - Air Systems Inc. (ASI) flipped the ON switch to its new Co-Generation Energy System. This unique design allows ASI to produce its own electricity, and to capture waste heat for heating and air conditioning energy, while immediately reducing the company's energy costs by 25% to 50%.
The system produces energy from natural gas, which is environmentally safe and cost-effective. "Not only will the system eliminate our peak demand costs, it will also enable us to better control our energy costs. Because natural gas costs are more predictable, we are able to set budgets with greater accuracy," commented Art Williams, President of Air Systems Inc. "This is huge especially in today's economy where managing your business' finances are critical."
Located on ASI's roof, the HESS Microgen Unit includes a waste heat recovery system that converts heat created by the generators into air conditioning, or is utilized in hot water systems. "It reduces our demand for electricity to run cooling systems, which will ultimately result in utility savings of up to 50%," stated Paul Johnson, Project Manager at Air Systems Inc. "Combined with state-offered rebates and incentives, shaving off our peak load times, and immediate cost and energy savings, this truly makes a win-win energy solution."
ASI has taken full advantage of this exceptional energy saving tool, and has incorporated it into their Total Facility Solutions motto - all the services you need located under one roof. ASI designed and installed a 1.1 Megawatt Cogeneration system for Network Appliance (Sunnyvale, CA), which started its energy savings in September of this year. Dan Hoffman of Network Appliance notes, "This cogeneration retrofit project was installed with minimal disruption. The design to run 24x7 base load is a very efficient and economic way to run the system. The building users never know how much power and cooling is provided by the cogeneration system, but we can see the difference in the bill!"

Air Systems, Inc. provides comprehensive design/build mechanical and electrical contracting and maintenance services to companies throughout Northern California. ASI's core services include HVAC, Automation and Controls, Process Piping, Plumbing, Electrical, Architectural Sheet Metal, Energy Solutions, and Comprehensive Maintenance and Service.
