Smartcool's Total Energy Concepts (TEC) Energy Savings Solutions Installed at a Metal Fabrication Shop and Grocery Store

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 23, 2018) - Smartcool Systems Inc. (TSXV: SSC) (OTC Pink: SSCFF) (FSE: R3W) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Total Energy Concepts (TEC) has successfully installed a number of solutions at a metal fabrication business and a grocery store. Both of these businesses have multiple locations and should result in additional installations. Total sales for these initial two locations exceeded $100,000 USD.

Upon completion of a comprehensive energy audit, a number of energy efficiency technologies were recommended and implemented, with expected savings of greater than 15% of the total energy costs. TEC installed the Smartcool's technology as well as TEC's propriety Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology, Voltage Conditioning Units (VCU), LED lighting and Nano LiquiTec™.

PFC's are a proprietary engineered product manufactured by TEC, that reduces energy consumption at the device level by improving the power factor at large inductive loads such as electric motors and compressors.

Nano LiquiTec™ is a breakthrough synthetic catalyst with graphene and nanotechnology, engineered to create nano-convection for enhanced heat transfer by removing oil fouling, which generates energy saving of up to 40% of the HVAC or refrigeration system.

Damian Smith, CEO of Total Energy Concepts commented: "These two businesses are representative of the types of customers we assist with our holistic approach to energy efficiency. They join the over 5,000 installations that TEC have completed in the last 15 years. By combining a number of energy solutions we are able to achieve greater economic benefits for our customers. We're looking forward to assisting these two customers in their other locations."
