CLIMATE TECHNOLOGIES WINS 2004 PHILIPS LIGHTING COMPANY INNOVATION
AWARD
Clive Samuels and Associates
receives industry award for supermarket project
ST. LOUIS, March 21, 2005 - Emerson
Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) today announced
that Clive Samuels and Associates, one of its divisions, has received
the 2004 Philips Lighting Company Innovation Award. Clive Samuels
and Associates won the award in the "Environmental Solutions"
category, in recognition of its lighting design for Henry's Marketplace.
"Clive Samuels and Associates is one
of the most respected mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering
consulting firms in the country, and a great asset to Emerson Climate
Technologies business," said Neal Starling, V.P. and General
Manager of Emerson Climate's Facilities group. "This is great
recognition of Clive Samuels and Associates and the superior work
that they continually deliver."
The purpose of the Philips Lighting Company
Innovation Awards is to acknowledge excellence in retail store lighting
and to bring attention to the importance lighting has in creating
an enjoyable shopping experience for consumers. It was Clive Samuels
and Associates' work in Henry's Marketplace, a Costa Mesa, California
organic food market that secured its place as this year's winner
in the "Environmental Solutions" category.
For the project, Clive Samuels and Associates
designed a lighting environment that focused on both product illumination
and energy efficiency. To achieve that goal and still create a pleasant
environment for shoppers, Clive Samuels and Associates incorporated
Philips' MasterColor® lamps and Philips ALTO® lamps. The
company positioned the lighting at a radical mounting height of
17'-0" A.F.F. with an average spacing of 14'-9" O.C. to
create an incredible luminance within the shopping area. The resulting
design demonstrated how sustainable lighting is both effective and
environmentally responsible.
"Philips Lighting Company's goal is
to demonstrate how lighting can affect retail businesses in positive
ways," said Megan Carroll, Strategic Marketing Specialist,
Phillips Lighting Company. "We're thrilled to recognize Clive
Samuels and Associates for their work in Henry's Marketplace. They've
proved that lighting presents endless possibilities and is particularly
vital to the success and appeal of a retail environment."
Philips Lighting Company is the U.S.-based
lighting company affiliated with Royal Philips Electronics. The
Philips Innovations Award program began in 1999 and continues to
inspire a significant number of lighting designers to apply for
recognition in these three distinct categories. For more information,
