Vietnam Veteran Develops New Environmental Technology

Elk River, Minn. (November 11, 1998) -- SolarAttic, Inc. announced today that its founder Edward G. Palmer, a Vietnam veteran, has developed a new electronic control technology for use in attics. The new technology will provide for automatic ventilation of attics year around. During summer, the control will provide a signal to automatically remove excess heat out of attics. During winter, the control will provide a signal to remove excess moisture and heat out of attics. Winter ventilation will prevent and even eliminate ice dams from forming by eliminating the temperature difference between the attic and outside air. Ice dams are a common problem and poor attic ventilation is a major cause. The new control will also sense when free attic heat is available for heating homes. During fall and spring, warm attic air can be transferred back into the living areas to reduce space heating costs. Due to the sophisticated and novel nature of the new control technology, Palmer expects to file for a fifth patent in 1999. SolarAttic has been assigned the rights to all patents that are issued.

The new electronic control technology is designed to be used with SolarAttic's new duct technology. Together, the control and duct technology provide a unique "systems" approach to attic ventilation. They take the guess work out of proper attic ventilation by providing controlled mechanical ventilation of the attic. The company's technology eliminates the need for all types of roof vents. However, the new electronic control is also designed to work with existing attic fans which can simply "plug-in" should consumers want to upgrade existing ventilation devices.

SolarAttic is a technology company founded by Vietnam Veteran Edward G. Palmer. The company's new technology provides total control of the attic in terms of its heat collection, moisture content and ventilation. In addition to controlling attic ventilation, SolarAttic products use attics to heat hot water, space and swimming pools. The new technology represents a big part of the solution to the problem of global warming.
