Jessup Manufacturing Company's Glo Brite(R) Eco Exit(TM) safety signs have received a 2009 Top Products Award from Building Operating Management magazine. The award recognizes the most popular manufacturers and suppliers of the year based on inquiries from building and facility executives about products that appeared on the FacilitiesNet.com website.
Jessup's Eco Exit(TM) line, which was introduced in April, consumes no energy and needs no maintenance, reducing costs and the carbon footprint for building owners. The signs from North America's leading manufacturer of photoluminescent safety products include single-sided and double-sided configurations with multiple mounting options and viewing distances of up to 100 feet.
"We're extremely proud of this honor, because the number of requests for information shows that we're meeting a real need in the marketplace for economical, ecologically friendly signs," said Alan M. Carlson, vice president marketing support and business development for Jessup. "These are the most energy efficient exit signs on the market today. Our Glo Brite(R) Eco Exit(TM) signs don't require wiring, bulbs or batteries, which gives building operators a simple way meet exit safety standards while reducing their carbon footprint."
A building with 100 photoluminescent signs will save more than $3,500 a year in energy costs and reduce air pollution by almost a half a million pounds of CO2 compared with incandescent signs over the life of the product.
The Eco Exit(TM) signs were among 80 products chosen for the award out of more than 900 products featured on the FacilitiesNet.com website used by Building Operating Management readers. The award-winning products will be showcased in the January 2009 issue. The magazine reaches an audience of 73,000 building owners and facility managers who control more than 4.3 million buildings.
