(Mar. 1, 1995) -- SolarAttic, Inc. announced today that it has <br /> developed a revolutionary new ventilation technology. The company plans to apply <br /> for a U.S. Patent by August. Edward G. Palmer, the company's founder, and U of M <br /> Professor Ephraim M. Sparrow invented the new technology. They originally <br /> • conceived the technology as a method of enhancing attic heat collection. However, it <br /> has now expanded into a revolutionary new approach to the ventilation of attics. <br /> Ed Palmer, SolarAttic's President and CEO, said: "Visualize a circular duct, at the <br /> attic's peak, with holes in it. The holes begin small at one end of the duct and get <br /> progressively bigger as you go down the length of the duct. At the other end, the duct is <br /> capped or sealed. This new duct allows uniform collection of air, heat and moisture <br /> along its entire length. It is flexible and easily adapts to odd shaped attics. The company <br /> an <br /> P Y <br /> can design it for any length, size or ventilation application. When attached to any of <br /> the company's attic-based heat exchange systems, heat transfer becomes more efficient. <br /> As an alternative, the duct attaches to a simple fan and exhaust port, with temperature <br /> and humidity controls. This creates a new ventilation product. The duct then becomes <br /> an efficient means of ventilating the attic from within the structure itself. The <br /> company calls this new product the 'SolarAttic Ridge Ventilator.' <br /> • — MORE -- <br /> SOLAR Without PANELSTM <br />
