September 13, 2006—ADMMicro, a privately held company, announced an agreement with Advance Auto Parts to retrofit certain existing stores and equip new stores with a ground-breaking Energy Management System (EMS).
“For almost two years, Advance Auto Parts has tested the EMS system in select stores and documented excellent energy savings,” said Don Howell, CEO of ADMMicro. “The ADMMicro system has proven itself against Advance Auto Parts’ aggressive ROI requirements.”
The nucleus of the ADMMicro system is a patent-pending controller that enables monitoring and remote control of individual uses of electricity or natural gas with integrated thermostats and load controllers.
In addition to providing optimal energy utilization, the system enhances Advance Auto Parts’ store operations by monitoring maintenance and service-related issues. ADMMicro remotely monitors Advance Auto Parts stores 24/7 for energy consumption trends as well as potential or actual HVAC failures and notifies maintenance staff.
