EnergyConnect, Inc.

PORTLAND, OR–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Microfield Group, Inc. (”Microfield”) (OTCBB: MICG - News) today announced that the Chicago Building Owners and Management Association (BOMA) has selected Microfield’s subsidiary, EnergyConnect, Inc., to present its advanced demand response solutions at the upcoming October 4th BOMA seminar. Selection was due to the growing number of BOMA member buildings which have selected EnergyConnect for demand response. EnergyConnect deploys its unique on-line software suite and engineering expertise to integrate buildings into electric power markets, and pays each building to participate.

EnergyConnect recently added more than 9 million square feet of Chicago BOMA member buildings using 36 megawatts of peak load. This increases an already substantial portfolio which includes the Sears Tower, John Hancock and Chicago Board of Trade. These new participants include three more of the most prominent buildings on the Chicago skyline. Property management firms are highly motivated to deploy EnergyConnect’s revenue-generating, green, sustainable solutions.

“I’m excited with our progress,” said Brian Gallagher, EnergyConnect’s Vice President for Chicago. “Two leading factors driving our growth are the regularly increasing payments to established participants, and the willingness of our established participants to host and demonstrate our technology to new interested building engineers and managers. These recent additions totaled 9 Building Equivalents (BE), a strong indication that Chicago will remain a leader in developing sustainable energy.”

“Only EnergyConnect provides the easy to use ‘dash board’ information in near real time to guide participation choices,” noted Steve Schaefer, Senior Vice President of Sales. “This is often the determining factor when building engineers and managers select EnergyConnect.”
