the exclusive distributor of Smartcool's ESM products in Israel, has completed a successful installation and has already
confirmed significant energy savings at Shufersal. The installation was performed on both high temperature and low temperature
refrigeration racks which produced savings resulting in a 12 month payback. In addition an ESM was installed on the A/C which
produced an 18 month payback.

12,400 employees. Danni Maoz Zur, the engineer from Shufersal, in charge of Refrigeration and A/C, states, "The results from the
Smartcool technology are very impressive, providing significant reduction in our operating costs for both refrigeration and air
conditioning. The reduced run time of our compressors should result in a longer life expectancy of our equipment. We saw no

of making our company greener."
