SolarAttic Announces New Ventilation Technology / Patent Plans, page 2 <br /> The 'SolarAttic Ridge Ventilator' brings the building and energy industries a new <br /> ventilation strategy. It removes the need for roof vents by venting the attic from the <br /> inside. The company notes that attic ventilation as it now exists is highly unreliable <br /> and that a controlled method for ventilation is desirable. Building codes may require <br /> controlled ventilation of attics soon as ventilation is a serious concern. For example, <br /> Minnesota attics need ventilation in the winter to prevent moisture damage. They <br /> need ventilation in the summer to prevent heat damage. Summer ventilation also <br /> reduces air conditioning costs. The company's product focus remains on using this attic <br /> heat productively. However, the company now also has a more reliable ventilation <br /> method. SolarAttic owns 100% of the patent rights to the new technology. The Ill <br /> company expects that the 'SolarAttic Ridge Ventilator' technology will enhance its <br /> growth and revenue opportunities." • <br /> SolarAttic, Inc., manufactures proprietary and patented solar heating devices. <br /> These devices use the solar energy contained in hot attic air. The company's solar <br /> technology removes the need for roof-mounted solar collector panels. The company's <br /> products now heat residential swimming pools and provide auxiliary heat for homes. <br /> In addition, SolarAttic successfully tested a prototype of its water heating system at the <br /> 1994 Minnesota State Fair. <br /> Based in Elk River, Minn., SolarAttic has been in business for nine years. Its <br /> pool heaters are already serving customers in 24 states. Its space heaters are serving <br /> customers in 6 states. Ed Palmer is the company's President and CEO. • <br /> # # # # <br />
