EPM, Inc. is an
engineering design company that designs, manufactures, programs, installs and
services the
"CTC"
system. The "CTC"
replaced the "EMS" or
"DDC" system, more than doubling
the savings. Demand for our "CTC" system grew to the point that we had
to increase the manufacturing
facility, necessitating a move to Fulton, Missouri in 1992.
The engineer, design,
manufacture, installation and service staff of our company has the following
disciplines and qualifications:
1. Electrical Engineering - Power and power control circuit
design and conversion of existing control systems to computerized
controls;
2. Mechanical Engineering
- Design, operation and maintenance of mechanical systems, including heating and
air conditioning systems;
3. Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering - Analogue and
digital computer hardware and software design;
4. Civil Engineering - Building, environmental systems
applications and building envelope design.
5. Electronic Engineering - Analog and digital hardware and
software application design;
6. Internet & Network Certified Engineering - Aggregate
demand limiting using network & Internet Technology;
7. Computer Science - Software and software application design;
8. Electronics Technicians - Manufacturing supervision, quality
control and service;
9. Licensed Electricians - Field installation of "CTC"
systems.
Our key staff has more than two hundred years combined
experience in facility design and micro-processor and computer design, program,
installation, service and the conversion of existing control systems to "CTC".
Now with over forty years of operation, we have developed not
only an extremely sophisticated and dependable "CTC"
system, but also successful
methods of turn-key or owner installation, follow-up training and service. This
insures that the "CTC"
system remains operational and
delivers dependable savings and comfort for the life of the facility without
expensive maintenance contracts.
