McHenry, Illinois — April, 2008 — Jessup
Manufacturing, North America’s leading manufacturer of photoluminescent
life safety products, has introduced its new line of zero energy exit
signs. These eco-friendly exit signs consume no energy and need no
maintenance. Leading the way is the new PM 100 which boasts a 100 foot
viewing distance and has set a new standard in the energy efficient
exit signage market.
“Ecologically, there is nothing more green and economical, they
have no overhead costs,” says Al Carlson, vice president of marketing. “With
no wiring to run or bulbs and batteries to replace, our new Glo Brite® Eco
ExitTM line of exit signs offers the easiest to install, least expensive
and ecologically friendly exit signs for their buildings.”
As buildings aim to become greener, exit signs are an easy decision
in reducing carbon footprints. A building with 100 photoluminescent
signs will save over $3,500 a year in energy costs and reduce air pollution
by almost a half a million pounds of CO2 compared to incandescent signs
over the life of the product. Going green does not have to be expensive!
According to the Federal Energy Management Program, the best available
exit sign product uses photoluminescent technology. Furthermore, the
program directs federal agencies to not purchase incandescent light
bulb or tritium exit signs and that facility managers should replace
them immediately. Eco Exit signs are UL 924 Listed and are non-toxic
so there are no disposal issues common with tritium signs that utilize
radioactive materials.
With momentum continuing to build, Jessup
is clearly the leader in eco-friendly, eco-nomically priced exit
signage. “We offer the
market the most choices, the best technology, and the highest value,” says
Carlson. “The new models reflect our market-leading commitment
to bring better and more affordable green solutions to the building
market.”
