Highlighted as a "Quality-of-Life" Improvement and Cost
Saving Measure
SAN DIEGO, CA,
Jan. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -
Pioneering Technology Corp. (TSX-V: PTE; OTC BB: PTEFF),
("Pioneering"), an energy smart product innovation and consumer
goods company, announced today that Headquarters for the U.S. Air
Force Civil Engineer Support Agency ("HQ AFCESA") recommends the
installation of Safe-T-element on all existing residential ranges
to improve the "quality-of-life" for tenants of government-owned,
government-operated Military Family Housing ("MFH"). The
announcement was made at the Professional Housing Management
Association/Military Housing and Lodging Institute's Professional
Development & Trade Expo in San
Diego.
The recent A-Gram written by Senior Fire Protection
Engineer Raymond N. Hansen and
distributed to all base civil engineers, fire prevention, facility
managers and housing managers entitled Range Top Fire Prevention
System for Residential Type Kitchen Ranges, instructed that,
"(Military) installations now have the opportunity to prevent
the most common cause of MFH fires and potentially reduce operating
costs. This product (Safe-T-element) is unique because it
prevents a fire rather than trying to suppress it".
The A-Gram goes on to highlight the following:
"Cooking is the leading cause of residential
fires (44%). Previously, systems intended for fire suppression were
the only option, but they cost more money than they saved. Now a
solution is available that will prevent these fires from ever
starting. This is the supplemental safety device known as the
Safe-T-element"…
…"Installation of the Safe-T-element device on
existing coil burner ranges is suggested as a "quality-of-life"
improvement for tenants of government-owned, government-operated
MFH. An additional benefit is reducing the number of responses that
will be required from the installation's fire emergency
services"…
…"Also, Section 6-3.2 of UFC 3-600-01, Fire
Protection Engineering for Facilities, requires that a residential
range-top extinguishing system be installed to protect certain
residential-type ranges installed in non-residential-type
buildings. The Safe-T-element device is approved in lieu of those
required range top extinguishing systems, which will significantly
reduce range installation costs and increase fire safety".
Pioneering's patented Safe-T-element cooking
technology has a track record of success helping to prevent stove
top cooking fires while also saving energy. Available on new ranges
or as a retrofit, this technology is now installed on over 60,000
ranges in multi-residential housing throughout North America and in thousands of Military
Family Housing units on U.S. military bases around the world.
Pioneering CEO Kevin
Callahan noted that, "This is a very meaningful development
for this technology which is having great success in MFH housing
around the world helping protect those who protect us. We are
grateful for the confidence the military has placed in this product
and we are honored to be playing a small role in helping to protect
these men and women and their families from the dangers of stovetop
cooking fires".
