Greentech Lead America: Premier Holding, a provider of
financial and management expertise, has acquired international patents and
other intellectual property from Active ES Lighting Controls (AES). The
acquisition allows PRHL and its subsidiary WEPOWER to fully leverage AES’s
intellectual property including patents, trademarks and website through the
Company’s new plan for licensing, marketing, sales and global distribution
strategies.
“Our immediate goals are to achieve industry-wide
recognition of the AES lighting control technologies for commercial,
institutional and municipal adoptions of the technology through sales orders
and to establish our manufacturing and expanded sales channels for products
based on these technologies,” said Kevin Donovan, president and CEO of PRHL.
WEPOWER had previously been a distributor and marketer
for AES.
The acquired AES patents include technologies include the Active ES
E-Series (energy management modules for commercial and industrial buildings and
lighted outdoor media signage), Active ES LiteHawk (energy saving lighting
controls for strings of street lights and parking lot lights) and Active ES
LiteOwl (energy saving lighting controls for an individual street light with a
standard photocell).
“Our near immediate term goals are to vertically
integrate the AES lighting control technologies into other complementary energy
savings technologies through our licensing business model,” Donovan added.
Active ES lighting controls allow an end user client to
select from a pre-setting range from 10 percent to 36 percent savings in
lighting energy consumption based on their environment and performance
requirements.
Active ES lighting controls are modular designs that can
be repurposed to future facilities, 95 percent recyclable by weight, meets RoHS
compliance standards, and all Active ES lighting controls are UL listed.
“All of us at Active ES are very pleased with the
sale to Premier Holding and the opportunity to be working with the Company. We
are extremely optimistic about the potential of success of the Active ES
lighting controls with the solid leadership and resources of Premier Holding
and WEPOWER Ecolutions,” Larry Young, president and CEO of AES.
