SmartCool Systems accepted as Energy Star(R) partner

VANCOUVER, Dec. 7, 2006 -- SmartCool Systems Inc. (TSXV: SSC), is pleased to announce that it has been accepted as a partner in the ENERGY STAR(R) Program. This endorsement of the Smartcool technology will enable the Company to benefit from the brand awareness associated with the ENERGY STAR(R) program while providing Smartcool with an expanded client network that is already dedicated to embracing the energy efficient products supported by the program.

Through its partnerships with more than 8,000 private and public sector organizations, ENERGY STAR(R) delivers the technical information and tools that organizations and consumers need to choose energy-efficient solutions and best management practices. ENERGY STAR(R) has successfully delivered energy and cost savings across the United States, saving businesses, organizations, and consumers about $12 billion in 2005 alone. Over the past decade, ENERGY STAR(R) has been a driving force behind the more widespread use of such technological innovations as LED traffic lights, efficient fluorescent lighting, power management systems for office equipment, and low standby energy use.

About ENERGY STAR(R):

In 1992 the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced ENERGY STAR(R) as a voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy-efficient products to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Computers and monitors were the first labeled products. Through 1995, EPA expanded the label to additional office equipment products and residential heating and cooling equipment. In 1996, EPA partnered with the US Department of Energy for particular product categories. The ENERGY STAR(R) label is now on major appliances, office equipment, lighting, home electronics, and more. EPA has also extended the label to cover new homes and commercial and industrial buildings.

About Smartcool(TM):

Smartcool Systems Inc. is an advanced energy savings solutions company that specializes in energy and cost reduction technologies for commercial and retail businesses. The company's wholly owned subsidiary, Smartcool International Inc., is the owner, developer, manufacturer and worldwide distributor of the System 4000 Energy Saving Module (ESMTM). This green technology reduces the electricity consumption (kWh) and maximum demand (KW) of air conditioning and refrigeration compressors. Rather than replacing existing equipment, the ESMTM works in conjunction with existing controls in order to ensure that compressors work at maximum efficiency, while maintaining preset temperature levels and without causing over-cycling. Rising global energy demand is resulting in significant increases in energy prices. Environmental concerns are causing both government and industry to re-examine the way they do business. Smartcool provides companies with solutions to address the growing pressure to reduce energy costs, increase profits and reduce green house gas emissions.
