EMERSON CLIMATE TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION WHITE PAPERS

ST. LOUIS, September 19, 2005 – Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), today announced the availability of two white papers for the commercial refrigeration industry. These papers address the industry’s concern and continued focus on refrigerant use and energy efficiency:

-- Refrigerants for Commercial Refrigeration Applications

-- The State of Energy Consumption for Commercial Refrigeration Applications

“Emerson Climate Technologies is committed to protecting the environment and providing solutions that decrease energy consumption,” said David Dunbar, president of Copeland Refrigeration. “We have the experience and expertise to provide direction on these global issues. These white papers are written to provide information to stakeholders, to understand and address the challenges our industry faces.”

The Refrigerants for Commercial Refrigeration Applications white paper discusses the factors that are most important in understanding how to provide efficient commercial refrigeration solutions without compromising the global environment. Information in this paper also includes: the criteria for refrigerant selection; updates on refrigerant consumption regulations; environmental impact of refrigerants; system design considerations; and the future of refrigerants in the HVACR industry.

The production and use of energy has become an increasingly important topic in the United States, with environmental, social, political and economic implications. The State of Energy Consumption for Commercial Refrigeration Applications white paper addresses these topics by discussing: the consumption of electricity by refrigeration equipment in foodservice industries; the current status of regulation of this consumption; and technologies available to reduce the demand for this increasingly limited resource.

Also explained in this paper are California Energy Commission regulations and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which was signed into law by President George W. Bush on August 8, 2005. This newest coordinated effort to have manufacturers of all commercial refrigeration equipment abide by the proposed national standard of energy efficiency is due to take effect in January 2010. Manufacturers must be aware of these standards and must prepare their products to meet these increasingly more stringent standards.
