PORTLAND, ME - Maricor Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Maine & Maritimes Corporation (AMEX: MAM), today announced the release of Building BlocksTM V6, a software solution which supports emerging asset governance and sustainability reporting processes for facilities and infrastructure. The new version 6 helps clients save energy, money, and the environment through best practices, and supports measurement and reporting of sustainability indicators according to Global Reporting Initiative and Facility Reporting Project guidelines.

Maricor Technologies is a sister company to the Maricor Group Canada, a facilities infrastructure engineering, energy asset development, emissions reduction, and lifecycle asset management consulting service firms focused on building sciences, including energy efficiency with a strong commitment to sustainability and LEED® green building ratings. The Maricor Group Canada has offices in Moncton and Saint John, New Brunswick and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

According to J. Nick Bayne, President and CEO, "This release of Building Blocks™ version 6 reinforces our commitment to sustainability. We are committed to making a meaningful difference in the way that facilities and infrastructure are managed by developing products that fully support sustainable business processes. Managing facilities and other assets according to sustainable business processes not only makes sound economic sense in today's rising operating cost market, it's simply the right response to our world's growing environmental and energy challenges. This release has been especially designed to ensure ease of implementation, use and affordability even for small organizations."

Building BlocksTM V6 helps clients implement an energy supply management program to cut energy costs and emissions. Inventories of greenhouse gas, ozone, and air emissions, and associated tradable permits are tracked and managed, giving North American clients a tool to participate in the Chicago Climate Exchange and report on their performance in achieving voluntary or mandatory emissions reductions. In addition, the new release supports waste reductions through implementation of environmentally preferred purchasing programs and tracking supplies that make use of recovered materials.

Tom Yoder, COO of Maricor Technologies, emphasized that "Our development effort was driven by the desire to bring sustainable best practices to all organizations. Our products are built on sound science, yet are refreshingly simple to use. For organizations that are looking to implement sustainable practices, this combination provides a solution that is embraced by users at all levels in the organization."

Building BlocksTM V6 supports management processes for governing and operating facilities and infrastructure. Lifecycle management processes include asset inventory tracking, condition assessments, deferred maintenance reporting, property tax valuation reporting, asset depreciation tracking, GASB 34 and 35 reporting requirements (U.S.), internal financial control processes for fixed assets, and stakeholder and sustainability reporting. Capital planning processes include capital renewal and improvement planning, and capital project implementation and monitoring. Operations processes include vendor and bid management, work order management, inventory management, and service requests. Building BlocksTM V6 has built-in capabilities and libraries for supporting best operations and maintenance practices for major equipment types in accordance with guidelines established by the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program, and for commissioning existing buildings in accordance with leading practices developed by the US DOE and Portland Energy Conservation, Inc.
