KINGSTON, Jamaica Appliance Traders Limited (ATL) announced this week the launch of its Eco-Smart certification.

The programme is designed to earmark energy-efficient electronics in the companys product line-up.

Much like the international trademark standard Energy-Star, ATLs Eco-Smart seal will be affixed to electronics and appliances that are proven to meet international standards in energy efficiency.

With energy costs on the rise many home-owners and businesses are going green and are looking for eco-conscious appliances to reduce their energy bills as well as their environmental impact, said Paul Grey head of ATLs engineering and energy department.

With our new Eco-Smart seal our customers are assured that the product can save them as much as 60 per cent of their energy costs without sacrificing performance, features and comfort, he added.

ATL has had a long history in delivering engineered solutions working with leading international technology companies. Last year ATL leveraged its 32-year partnership with Panasonic to design and install an eco-village at Sandals Montego Bay. This project, which is the first of its kind in Jamaica, boasts an entirely self-sufficient solar power system to operate all the hotels cooling, heating, lighting and entertainment systems. The project was established as a pilot to demonstrate the savings to be accrued from the implementation of alternative energy sources.

The Eco-Smart Certification is the first of many initiatives that ATL plans to spearhead through its energy portfolio. Eco-electronics has become a big part of our business and we are dedicated to delivering to our clients solutions that will impact their bottom line, said Grey.
