TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 20, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Environmental Technologies International Inc. (Pink Sheets:EMTI) is pleased to report that certified installations of its proprietary 'AWE' building-environment system are expected to economically facilitate assured compliance with the most stringent standards and building codes, and will even meet higher standards than those demanded by current codes, in ensuring the maintenance of Indoor Air Quality, or 'IAQ'.
Comprehensive, leading edge standards & guidelines for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, such as those promulgated by the American National Standards Institute and the American Society Of Heating, Refrigerating And Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc., evolve continually to meet new challenges and improve lifestyles, and are the basis for state HVAC building codes throughout the country. In this new age of Sick Building Syndrome -- 'SBS', Building Related Illness -- 'BRI', and litigation concerning the effects of indoor mold, there can be no doubt that HVAC standards and building codes will increasingly become more stringent in the foreseeable future. Significantly, the AWE system is expected to significantly enhance building/property values through its superior building-environment system, which also saves energy costs and supplies high-purity water.
Marketing To Focus On Compliance With Strictest Standards And Codes - And Economic Rewards
By surpassing all requirements for maintaining a high level of IAQ (on retrofit of existing buildings) while simultaneously lowering costs of electricity, management intends to focus its marketing program on the ability of AWE-based systems to improve compliance with all modern HVAC codes, lower electricity costs and, potentially, insurance costs (e.g. against the health risks of mold, etc.), while enhancing property values.
AWE -- The Promise Of Healthier IAQ
The Company's AWE technology has the demonstrated ability to virtually eliminate building mold and, by improving ventilation, significantly reduce the amount of pollutants in a building's 'atmosphere'. It will materially improve Indoor Air Quality with a system that will significantly reduce electrical costs, thus paying for its installation in the near term, and lowering overall building operating costs over the long term. Protected by patents, the technology includes a modification of the ingenious Thermosyphon Heat Transfer Loop developed by NASA, and to this day used by NASA on the space shuttle. Since the NASA patents expired, Environmental Technologies' wholly-owned subsidiary, AWE (Air, Water, Energy) Engineering Inc. has adapted and modified the technology for commercial use in a wide variety of buildings, and is in the process of developing the system to address mass markets around the globe.
