(EFI) CONTINUES TO WORK ACTIVELY WITH LOW INCOME WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (WAP) PROVIDERS, AND THE CONTRACTORS THEY UTILIZE, TO PROVIDE THEM WITH A VARIETY OF HIGH QUALITY WEATHERIZATION, VENTILATION AND EFFICIENT LIGHTING PRODUCTS TO RETROFIT HOMES INHABITED BY LOW INCOME FAMILIES. EFI IS THE EXCLUSIVE SUPPLIER OF EFFICIENT LED AND CFL LIGHTING PRODUCTS TO A NETWORK OF COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY WAP SUB-GRANTEES IN MASSACHUSETTS. LIGHTING MEASURES ARE FUNDED WITH UTILITY RATE BASED SYSTEM BENEFIT CHARGES (SBC) DOLLARS, WHICH ALLOW FEDERAL WAP FUNDS TO STRETCH FURTHER - TO ENABLE MORE LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS TO BE SERVED AND TO ALLOW MORE COMPREHENSIVE WORK TO BE PERFORMED IN THOSE BUILDINGS THE PROGRAM IS ABLE TO SERVE.IN ADDITION TO WORK WITH AGENCIES AND CONTRACTORS PROVIDING WAP SERVICES, EFI CONTINUES TO WORK WITH AN EXTENSIVE UTILITY CLIENT BASE TO PROVIDE PRODUCT FULFILLMENT SERVICES, SOME OF THEM QUITE INNOVATIVE IN NATURE. SEVERAL EXAMPLES FOLLOW:A. SINCE 2012 EFI HAS WORKED WITH ENERGY SERVICE COMPANY PARTNERS AND UTILITY CLIENTS TO DEVELOP A UNIQUE 'SALES CHANNEL' FOR UPSTREAM (UTILITY FUNDED) INCENTIVE PROGRAMS TO PROMOTE ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED LIGHT BULBS. WE HAVE CONVINCED CLIENTS IN MAINE, MISSOURI, GEORGIA, WISCONSIN AND OHIO TO DEVOTE A PORTION OF THEIR SBC FUNDS TO SUPPLY COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS (CFLS) TO FOOD BANKS, WHICH DISTRIBUTE THEM TO LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS VIA FOOD PANTRIES WITHIN OUR CLIENTS' SERVICE TERRITORIES. B. EFI HAS DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINS CO-BRANDED WEBSITES WORKING WITH UTILITY CLIENTS AND SEVERAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO MAKE ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE BY THEIR CUSTOMERS OR CONSTITUENTS AT INCENTED OR OTHERWISE DISCOUNTED PRICES. IN 2015 EFI MADE A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL INVESTMENT TO UPDATE OUR WEB SERVICES PLATFORM AND MIGRATED NEARLY 50 CO-BRANDED WEBSITES TO A NEW ECOMMERCE PLATFORM. THIS NEW PLATFORM WILL ALLOW FOR IMPROVED FUNCTIONALITY AND THUS A MORE CONVENIENT, SATISFYING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. IT ALSO WILL ALLOW US TO PROVIDE MUCH STRONGER EDUCATIONAL CONTENT - PARTICULARLY OF A GRAPHIC AND VIDEO NATURE - SO THAT CUSTOMERS BUYING ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS FROM US WILL BE MORE INCLINED TO USE THEM IN APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS, OPTIMIZING ENERGY SAVINGS.C. EFI IMPLEMENTED A NUMBER OF INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS IN 2015 TO PROMOTE LED LIGHTING, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT AS LED LIGHTING HAS TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE IMMENSE ELECTRICITY SAVINGS ACROSS ALL SECTORS OF AMERICA'S ECONOMY - RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL. ONE NOTEWORTHY INITIATIVE WAS A PROGRAM EFI IMPLEMENTED FOR A LARGE MUNICIPALLY OWNED UTILITY COMPANY, SEATTLE CITY LIGHT (SCL). SCL EMBARKED ON AN AMBITIOUS CAMPAIGN IN 2015 TO CHANGE FROM HEAVILY PROMOTING CFL BULBS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, TO EXCLUSIVELY PROMOTING AND INCENTIVIZING LED BULBS. EFI DEVELOPED A PROGRAM THAT PROVIDED EACH OF SCL'S 330,000 RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS (LIVING WITHIN THE COMPANY'S SERVICE TERRITORY) THE OPPORTUNITY TO ORDER ONE FREE LED GENERAL USE BULB. EFI CREATED A WEB PORTAL TO ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO CONVENIENTLY REQUEST THE FREE BULB BE SENT TO THEM, AND EVENTUALLY EFI FULFILLED 115,000 BULB ORDERS. WE SUBSEQUENTLY SENT INDIVIDUAL EMAILS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS INVITING THEM TO TAKE A SURVEY WHICH GAVE THE CLIENT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FEEDBACK AND DATA ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS' ATTITUDES AND OPINIONS ABOUT LED LIGHTING, AS WELL AS A TREASURE TROVE OF INFORMATION FOR PROGRAM EVALUATORS ABOUT WHERE CUSTOMERS WERE INSTALLING THE BULBS, THE HOURS OF USE, AND THUS THE SAVINGS SCL WAS GENERATING THROUGH THE PROGRAM. CUSTOMERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE SAVINGS WERE ALSO GIVEN A UNIQUE ELECTRONIC COUPON (CREATED BY EFI) WHICH THEY COULD TAKE TO AN AREA HOME DEPOT STORE TO BUY ADDITIONAL LED BULBS AT SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL PRICING. D. A CONTINUING IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF EFI'S MISSION IS TO FIND PROMISING, EFFECTIVE NEW ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS, AND TO DEVISE CREATIVE WAYS, WORKING WITH OUR CUSTOMER AND CLIENT BASE, THAT INCLUDES UTILITIES, STATE ENERGY OFFICES, AND PROGRAM EVALUATORS TO HELP MANUFACTURERS BRING THEM TO MARKET. PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT CATEGORIES EFI HAS BEEN ACTIVELY PROMOTING RECENTLY WHICH WE BELIEVE CAN BE TERMED INNOVATIVE, WITH THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME 'MARKET TRANSFORMATIVE' INCLUDE:I. LED LIGHTING: EFI HAS BEEN WORKING WITH OUR UTILITY CLIENTS, KEY CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS, AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE) AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) THROUGH THEIR SOLID STATE LIGHTING AND ENERGY STAR PROGRAMS TO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SSL MARKET, AND TO DEVISE WAYS TO INCORPORATE LED BULBS INTO 'UTILITY' ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS. SSL TECHNOLOGY CONTINUES TO BUILD TRACTION AND IMPRESSIVE MOMENTUM IN 2015. EFI SALES OF LED LIGHTING PRODUCTS, AS MEASURED IN DOLLARS, HAVE GROWN FROM LESS THAN 10% OF OUR OVERALL LIGHTING SALES IN 2012 TO MORE THAN 80% OF OUR LIGHTING SALES IN 2015.LED BULBS ARE THE MOST EFFICIENT LIGHT SOURCE AVAILABLE FOR GENERAL HOUSEHOLD USE, HAVE THE LONGEST LIFE, AND UNLIKE THE ALSO ENERGY EFFICIENT CFL BULBS, CONTAIN NO MERCURY AND THUS ARE BELIEVED TO POSE LESS OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM THAN CFLS AT END OF LIFE. (AND, BECAUSE THEIR AVERAGE LIFETIME RANGES FROM 25,000 HOURS TO 50,000 HOURS, WHICH IS ROUGHLY 25X-50X THE LIFETIME OF INCANDESCENT BULBS, AND 2.5X - 8X THE LIFETIME OF CFL BULBS, FAR FEWER LIGHT BULBS WILL BE GOING INTO THE WASTE STREAM IF CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES ARE CONVINCED TO PURCHASE FOR LED BULBS).II. WIFI 'SMART' THERMOSTATS ARE ANOTHER INNOVATIVE PRODUCT CATEGORY EFI HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO PROMOTE. OUR SUCCESS IN GETTING SMART THERMOSTATS MORE WIDELY ADOPTED HAS NOT MIRRORED THE SUCCESS WE HAVE SEEN IN RECENT YEARS WITH LED LIGHTING, BUT THE MARKET SHARE OF SMART THERMOSTATS AND CONSUMER AWARENESS OF THE PRODUCTS HAS BEEN STEADILY, IF MODESTLY, GROWING. EFI IS WORKING WITH ALL THE MAJOR MANUFACTURERS OF WIFI SMART THERMOSTATS, TRYING TO GET THEIR PRODUCTS SPECIFIED IN MORE UTILITY SBC FUNDED PROGRAMS. THE FIRST SMART THERMOSTAT MANUFACTURER WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH WAS NEST, DOING PILOTS WITH THEIR PRODUCTS IN MASSACHUSETTS, RHODE ISLAND, NEW JERSEY AND CALIFORNIA. MORE RECENTLY WE HAVE STARTED SELLING SMART THERMOSTATS SUPPLIED BY HONEYWELL, ECOBEE, AND BUILDING 36.WIFI THERMOSTATS ARE BEING DISCUSSED AS A LOGICAL DEVICE TO BE THE 'HUB' TO CONNECT VARIOUS DEVICES IN A BUILDING TO MAKE IT A 'SMART' HOME OR 'SMART' BUSINESS. AS THE UTILITY INDUSTRY EVOLVES, AND DEMAND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES BECOME EQUALLY IF NOT MORE IMPORTANT AS SUPPLY STRATEGIES TO THE FUTURE EVOLUTION OF THE GRID, THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVICES THAT CAN ASSIST CUSTOMERS AND COMPANIES THEY RELY ON TO HELP THEM MANAGE THEIR POWER CONSUMPTION, WILL BE EVER GREATER.III. EFI IS CONTINUING TO BE ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST SELLERS OF ADVANCED POWER STRIPS (APS), WHICH IN ESSENCE ARE INTELLIGENT EXTENSION CORDS TO WHICH VARIOUS CONSUMER ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS CAN BE PLUGGED IN. THEY SHUTOFF PERIPHERAL DEVICES SUCH AS DVR PLAYERS AND PRINTERS WHEN 'PRIMARY OR CONTROLLING DEVICES (TELEVISIONS, PC'S) ARE OFF, OR IN SLEEP MODE. THESE ARE REFERRED TO AS 'PHANTOM LOADS,' BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDERSTOOD BY COMPARATIVELY FEW CONSUMERS AND THUS ARE 'INVISIBLE' TO MOST PEOPLE.UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE CONSUMERS HAVE LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF PHANTOM LOADS, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN WHAT APS DEVICES ARE AND HOW THEY WORK - A PROBLEM COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT THEY LOOK JUST LIKE, AND ARE OFTEN CONFUSED WITH, SIMPLE POWER STRIPS. SIMPLE POWER STRIPS ARE MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE THAN APS UNITS, HOWEVER. CONVENTIONAL RETAILERS' BUSINESS MODELS DO NOT LEND THEMSELVES TO SELLING COMPLEX, LOW COST, LOW MARGIN PRODUCTS, SO THE SUPPLIERS OF APS MODELS HAVE FOUND CONVENTIONAL RETAIL SALES CHANNELS TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SELL THEIR PRODUCTS THROUGH. EFI HAS ENJOYED IMPRESSIVE SUCCESS PROMOTING THESE PRODUCTS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS AND NUMEROUS UTILITY CLIENTS. IN 2015 WE BEGAN WORKING MORE WITH A SECOND SUPPLIER OF APS PRODUCTS, AN AUSTRALIAN COMPANY, EMBERTEC. EMBERTEC IS STRONGLY EMPHASIZING WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS A "TIER 2" ADVANCE POWER STRIP DEVICE, WHICH IN THEIR TECHNOLOGY USES AN INFRARED SENSING CONTROL TO ENABLE IT TO RECOGNIZE WHEN A CONSUMER HAS LIKELY FALLEN ASLEEP IN FRONT OF A TELEVISION, OR LEFT A TELEVISION ON WHEN THEY HAVE LEFT A ROOM (FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME). THIS FEATURE HAS LIKELY DOUBLED TO TRIPLED THE ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL OF THE TECHNOLOGY.IV. EFI HAS LAUNCHED A PILOT PROGRAM IN MAINE USING A HOT WATER SAVING PRODUCT MANUFACTURED BY EVOLVE. EVOLVE MAKES A UNIQUE PRODUCT THAT EMPLOYS A THERMOSTATIC VALVE, INSERTED BETWEEN A SHOWER PIPE ARM AND A SHOWERHEAD, TO SHUT OFF WATER FLOW (TO A TRICKLE) AFTER SOMEONE HAS STARTED A SHOWER, AND THE WATER HAS REACHED THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE (APPROXIMATELY 95 DEGREES F), BUT THE PERSON INTENDING TO HAVE THE SHOWER HAS YET TO ENTER THE SHOWER STALL. ON 6119279 39725 5978696 INCENTIVE PROCESSING SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE DEMAND SIDE REDUCTION EFFORTS OF THE UTILITY INDUSTRY AND STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES.IN FY'2015 EFI ISSUED MORE THAN $180 MILLION OF INCENTIVE CHECKS ON BEHALF OF THE VARIOUS UTILITY, STATE ENERGY OFFICE, AND NGO CLIENTS. THESE INCENTIVE PAYMENTS WERE MADE TO CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO INVEST IN ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS AND MEASURES. EFI HAS CONTINUED TO INVEST IN DEVELOPING A WEB-BASED SOFTWARE PLATFORM THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES TO APPLY FOR INCENTIVES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS AND MEASURES. AS OF THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2015 EFI HAD SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED THE SOFTWARE FOR NEARLY FIFTY INCENTIVE PROGRAMS WE ARE ADMINISTERING FOR CLIENTS. THE SAVINGS FROM THE PRODUCTS AND MEASURES FOR WHICH EFI ISSUED INCENTIVE/REBATE PAYMENTS ON BEHALF OF CLIENTS WILL PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS TO CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES IN THE FORM OF LOWER ENERGY BILLS, TO UTILITIES AND SOCIETY IN THE FORM OF A REDUCED NEED TO INVEST IN POWER PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND TO USE SCARCE NATURAL RESOURCES FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION, TO THE COUNTRY IN THE FORM OF LESS RELIANCE ON NON-INDIGENOUS ENERGY SOURCES, AND TO EVERYONE IN THE FORM OF REDUCED CARBON EMISSIONS. 15056095 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 32 0 1 157 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 8 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 MA X PINA FICHERA 5088702277 40 WASHINGTON STREET WESTBOROUGH MA 01581 ADAM PARKER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 1500 0 0 STEVEN FINK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 1125 0 0 PAUL GROMER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 1125 0 0 IRA KREPCHIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 1125 0 0 WILLIAM STANWOOD TREASURER/DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 1500 0 0 ROBERT KING VICE-PRESIDENT/DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 1125 0 0 BRADLEY STEELE PRESIDENT/CEO 40.00 X X 190529 0 22386 PINA FICHERA CFO/CLERK 40.00 X X 149641 0 21948 MARY STEWART DIRECTOR 1.00 X 1125 0 0 NANCY NYLEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 1500 0 0 JOHN O'CONNELL VICE-PRESIDENT MARKETING 40.00 X 237718 0 22214 PAUL DANEHY VICE-PRESIDENT SALES 40.00 X 236669 0 22204 TIM BROWN CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER 40.00 X 197725 0 0 MAHESH SHETH CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER 40.00 X 156704 0 22222 PHILIP SCARBRO V.P.
