QUIKTRIP SELECTS EMERSON’S E2 FACILITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR NATIONWIDE ROLLOUT

Emerson’s integrated facility management technology proves its value for leading convenience store chain

ST. LOUIS, Nov 8, 2007 – Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), today announced that QuikTrip has agreed to install Emerson’s E2 Facility Management System in all of its nearly 500 convenience stores across the United States.

QuikTrip is just one of many leading convenience store retailers installing Emerson’s E2 to more efficiently monitor and manage energy consumption within their facilities. Using the E2, and other technologies from Emerson’s Intelligent Store™ architecture, customers commonly see between 10 percent and 15 percent reduction in their energy bills through more efficient control of lighting, HVAC, and refrigeration systems. This is accomplished by reducing total kilowatt usage as well as controlling demand levels at each facility.

By collecting and analyzing data both for individual stores and for their entire enterprise, QuikTrip is able to quickly identify where improvements in equipment performance need to be made. Integrating all these systems into the E2 and accessing it from an internet enabled computer allows multiple stores to be monitored from a central location. Beyond a reduction in energy usage, QuikTrip has seen enhancements in their maintenance and food safety initiatives as well.

Emerson’s E2 is designed and manufactured by the Retail Solutions division of Emerson Climate Technologies. Emerson’s Retail Solutions division is a leading provider of convenience store refrigeration and building control systems around the world. “QuikTrip’s dedication to food safety and efficient operations is the perfect match for Emerson’s Intelligent Store architecture,” said Bill Coulombe, president of Emerson’s Retail Solutions group. “We are delighted that QuikTrip has chosen Emerson to provide the facility management technology that keeps their food safe and locations operating efficiently.”

QuikTrip is widely considered an industry leader with its unique focus on foodservice, ground-breaking operations and customer service. With E2 already installed in approximately 300 of their sites, QuikTrip was so impressed with the E2’s capabilities that they decided to expand the rollout to all of their commissary locations as well. This provides QuikTrip with enhanced food safety coverage at nearly all critical points from a product’s production to its sale.

The E2 Facility Management System and ProAct® Service Center in Atlanta, GA form the core of Emerson’s Intelligent Store™ architecture. The architecture creates an integrated suite of products and services that provide retail operators a new level of sophistication and insight into their operations. When integrated or linked together, these innovative products and services can provide maintenance, energy and reliability gains. Also included in the Intelligent Store architecture are the Control Link™ device controllers and Intelligent Store Discus® compressor, select Lennox® rooftop units, and other third party devices.
