(OTC Pink Sheets: ARMM), has released a study completed in November, 2004, which documents over $100,000 in energy savings for St. Francis Hospital, a Northeast Oklahoma hospital, utilizing its internet-based chiller energy efficiency tool. Prior to its use of EffHVAC, St. Francis Hospital's engineering team had already been cited for a best maintenance practices policy; therefore, the energy savings was in addition to stringent operating conditions for its centrifugal chillers. "Being able to realize the significant cost avoidance at such a world- class facility that has already embraced and implemented a best practices policy demonstrates how our EffHVAC service can help any facility save money and improve their HVACoperations," stated Derrick Shoemake, President of EffTec. From January, 2004 to October, 2004, St. Francis' physical plant produced more tons of cooling at a lowest cost per ton resulting in energy savings of $100,373. The total annual investment in the EffHVAC tool was $3,000. This represents a 40 to 1 return on an annualized investment with a payback time of less than 10 days. EffHVAC analyzes centrifugal chiller log data, calculates and trends chiller performance and troubleshoots problems. EffHVAC has advanced charting and reporting capabilities that make it possible to verify even the slightest improvements in operations.
