The Verizon Center, Washington D.C.’s major arena, has elected to install Energy Automation Systems, Inc. technologies that will save the home of Washington’s NBA and NHL franchises an estimated $25,000 a month on its electric bills.

The nearby Congressional Country Club, located in Bethesda, Md., has seen an 18 percent drop in its electricity usage – and electric bills – since installing EASI technologies in February. The savings will reach about $120,000 annually, says the club’s operations director.

Nashville, Tenn.-based Energy Automation Systems, Inc. (EASI) develops and manufactures in the U.S. a dozen technologies that have been employed in thousands of energy saving installations in 66 countries.

“We’re proud to have these two important facilities making use of our equipment for the purpose of reducing energy consumption and making a positive environmental contribution,” said Joe Merlo, Energy Automation Systems, Inc. (EASI) founder and chief executive officer.

EASI technologies eliminate electrical system inefficiencies and reduce excess heat by dealing with a, said Dr. Paul Bleiweis, EASI president.

“In facilities such as the Verizon Center and the Congressional Country Club, our technologies are used to address the entire electrical system, not just individual components,” Bleiweis said. “Any business that pays an electric bill is a candidate to have their bottom line helped by EASI.”

After a review of a customer’s electrical systems, EASI guarantees the customer’s energy savings in an agreement backed by Lloyd’s of London.  EASI technologies last more than 20 years and require no maintenance.

Sales and installations for both the Verizon Center and Congressional Country Club were handled by EASI affiliate EnergyPro LLC, of Potomac, Md. The Congressional Country Club is highly pleased with the results, said Mike Troyner, the club’s operations director.
