Step 4: Increase Efficiency With Facility Planning
No energy management plan is complete without a functional, efficient storage facility design. In addition to optimal fleet recharging
and rotation, modern storage facilities must also accommodate the various electrical, ventilation and storage requirements of a wide
range of utility vehicles, maintenance equipment and supplies.
Club Car has the on-staff expertise and experience to analyze your courses unique situation and specify electrical requirements
for the storage facility and chargers that will maximize both day-to-day functionality and long-term cost efficiency.
Whether for a new facility or a retrofit, Club Cars valuable planning service considers all factors, including size, parking layout,
location, electrical loads, ventilation, electrical specifications and plans for future growth. Our experts will work with you, your
architects, your builders and even your local power company to solve your facilitys storage problems.
Step 3: Protect Assets With Lightning Analysis
With remote locations and vast expanses to manage, golf courses face a higher than average risk of lightning damage to electrical
equipment. And with national property damage estimates topping two billion dollars each year, thats a risk you cant afford to take lightly.
Club Cars EMS includes an effective lightning surge protection plan that can help minimize damage to golf cars, chargers and
golf car storage facilities during the charging process. Each plan is custom-developed by the only on-staff professional in the golf car
industry certified by the National Lightning Safety Institute. A typical analysis is highly detailed and includes:
Physical inspection of the storage facility
Strike probability study
Grounding analysis
Air terminal/down conductors/bonding/shielding evaluation
Transient voltage surge suppression risk analysis
Lightning detection assessment
Comprehensive lightning safety plan
Implementation recommendations
When combined with the savings and protection of Watt/Miser and the Clipper VL, Club Cars lightning analysis takes your energy
management to the next level. Call us to schedule your analysis.

After a year of operation,
our energy management solution is
reliable and trouble-free. Our Club Car
representatives were very helpful
in making the transition.
Louis Mund
Columbia Golf Club Step 1: Save Money With Watt/Miser
With Watt/Miser, you can recharge your
fleet during off-peak hours when utility
demands are lowest. For most courses,
thats an energy savings of more than
$550 per month.
By automatically starting and stopping
the flow of current at preset intervals,
Watt/Miser gives you complete control
over your energywhether to diversify
your power consumption or simply take
advantage of off-peak rates.
The system allows you to phase in
your chargers in up to four pre-assigned
groups to help trim peak demand and
prevent overloading. And its reliable
capacitor backup prevents power
outages from disrupting operation or
erasing your preprogrammed settings.
Like all quality Club Car products,
Watt/Miser features an impressive
one-year standard limited, on-site,
full-replacement warranty, plus the
flexibility to extend your warranty.
To learn how much you can really
save, schedule your free, no obligation
energy analysis today. Well evaluate your energy needs and provide a written estimate of your potential savings with Watt/Miser.
Its simply the smartest step your course can take.
Step 2: Reduce Risk With The Clipper VL
Although
they last less than one millisecond, power surges do more than just disrupt powerthey can shutdown your system or
cause permanent damage to sensitive golf car circuitry. These brief electrical overloads are caused by starting equipment, utility grid
switching, heavy load requirements, even lightning.
While you cant stop surges from occurring, you can lessen their impact. The best way to reduce transient risk is to install the
Clipper VL directly at the golf car storage facility.
The Clipper VL works by capturing, grounding and dissipating power surges before they reach your equipment. Once permanently
installed in your electrical system, the Clipper VL protects the entire barnnot just the golf cars. So additional systems and equipment,
like Watt/Miser, are also protected.
The Clipper VL offers three levels of surge suppression, depending on your courses needs. Prior to installation, Club Cars Energy
Management Team will custom-analyze the installation site to help you determine which level of protection is right for you.
Dont skip this important step in energy management. Schedule your free, on-site energy assessment now.

Rarely do vendors deliver what
they promise as well as Club Car.
At first, it was hard for us
to believe how much we could save
by simply managing energy.
But Club Car conducted an in-depth
analysis, financed the system
and even had our power company
contribute to the purchase.
In the end, we saved more
than the estimate.
Thomas Laraia, Director of Golf,
Mizner Trail Golf Club

Watt/Miser has greatly increased
the revenue of our 170-car fleet.
The system paid for itself in less than
one year and since has saved us
thousands of dollars by lowering
the clubs electric bill.
Its been six years since installation,
and we have yet to experience
a problem.
