 San Francisco, CA—May 1, 2007— Flex Your Power, California’s statewide energy efficiency campaign, has recognized National Resource Management as a leader in energy efficiency with a Flex Your Power Award. A total of 41 winners were selected from several hundred applicants for outstanding leadership in energy efficiency. Cumulatively, award winners over the last two years have saved more than $172 million, one billion kilowatt hours and reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing more than 80,000 cars from the road. This year’s 5^th Annual Flex Your Power Awards Ceremony will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 5 at the San Francisco Concourse Exhibition Center.

NRM was highlighted for installing a remote management system that reigned in power use at G&S Produce of Sacramento. G&S has four walk-in coolers totaling 73,000 cubic feet; prior to installation of NRM’s system, the coolers were using a whopping 386,000 kWh annually and were subject to serious failures. After installation of NRM’s CoolTrol® and Remote Site Manager™, G&S has seen savings of 87,000 kWh and $8,600 per year. With a 75% incentive from SMUD, the system paid for itself in roughly six months.

Of the award winners, Director Walter McGuire of Flex Your Power said, “ The awards present an opportunity for California to congratulate the leadership shown by this year’s Flex Your Power award winners who have demonstrated that we can all save money and the environment. By reducing their energy use, this year’s Flex Your Power award winners have saved more than $30 million and reduced global warming emissions equivalent to taking 40,250 cars off the road.”

In addition to the California Public Utilities Commission, Flex Your Power Award winners were selected by senior representatives from the California Independent System Operator, California Energy Commission, California Urban Water Conservation Council, League of California Cities, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Building Owners and Managers Association, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, and Southern California Edison.
