12. Savings Example – New/Replacement HVAC 10,000 Sq. Ft. 24/7 Drug Store New or Replacement HVAC-Related CAPEX Savings Because HVAC tonnage can be substantially reduced, on a new or replacement HVAC system, installing an ERT ERV more than pays for itself, returning both an immediate payback AND CAPEX savings of $8,550.

Editor's Notes
Greetings and thank you for taking the time today to learn more about Energy Recovery Technologies, or ERT. My name is Lou Fernandez, I’m part of the ERT management team and I’ll be your guide during this brief 8 ½ minute presentation.
Today, millions if not billions of dollars are being spent on ways to find alternative energies, and increase efficiency in cars, lighting systems, water systems and more, but one area that has been largely ignored is HVAC, one of the largest areas of energy consumption. In fact, in the U.S. alone, over $130 billion dollars is spent each year on HVAC related energy costs releasing over 1.5 billion metric tons of CO2. ERT’s new patent pending technology can cut this energy use, the related costs and emissions in half!
How does HVAC work today? Outside air enters through the HVAC system, where money is spent heating or cooling it. The airs circulates throughout the building for a while and then exits the building through an exhaust stack along with the energy and money you spent to heat or cool that air.
The Solution to this wasted energy and money is Energy Recovery Ventilation. Fresh air enters the ERV and is preheated or precooled using the energy and humidity from the air being simultaneously exhausted. It is further conditioned in the HVAC system and then circulates throughout the building. Finally, before the air is exhausted from the building, the energy and humidity in the exhaust air is once again transferred to the incoming air so that the energy spent heating or cooling the air is not wasted. Note that air is still exhausted, and the air streams never mix, but the energy in the exhaust air in the form of temperature and humidity is transferred to the incoming air so energy is saved.
Current ERV technology consists primarily of enthalpy wheels, metal flywheels that serve as inefficient heat exchangers sprayed with a few ounces of desiccant material resulting ina sandpaper-like surface. We consider this a comprise solution because both temperature and humidity exchange occur in one combined component.
Enthalpy wheel technology has not been significantly altered in over 25 years and is outdated. It has low efficiency, is subject to significant degradation over time, has unconfirmed savings and therefore an uncertain payback on investment.
ERT’s critical insight was two separate the two energy exchange processes. A desiccant belt with 30 to 40 pounds of desicant material transfers humidity to and from the incoming and outgoing air streams, while a separate high efficiency heat exchanger transfers the energy in the temperature. Finally, a CPU and web-enabled monitoring capability optimizes performance by providing remote maintenance information, and reports and confirms energy savings. These industry-first capabilities provide a continuing service and analytics revenue stream for ERT and allow us to guarantee over 90% efficiency.
We’re excited to say thatERT has signed BETA agreements with two national retailers, Toys R US and Philips Van Heusen. These chains have agreed to test a number beta units on their stores in various climates and, subject to favorable results, have also agreed to nationwide roll-outs. These two chains alone will result in over $12 million dollars in ERV sales over their 24 month rollouts. In addition, through a strategic relationship with Jones Lang LaSalle, one of the world’s largest real estate services and management companies, we have also secured BETA site commitments with 2 of America’s largest banks – JP Morgan Chase, and Bank of America. These two additional commitments represent a potential additional $40 million in sales over a 24 month roll-out of just over half of their U.S. branch networks. With over $50 million dollars in potential sales already in our pipeline, we will be well on our way to meeting or exceeding our first two year’s projections which you’ll see later. Negotiations for other similar agreements are in progress.
As part of our initial target market, we are further targeting 35 retail chains that together comprise over 120,000 stores and over $500 million dollars in potential ERV sales. This will allow us to leverage our direct sales efforts by focusing our efforts where closing one sale can generate thousands of ERV unit sales.
Of course, we won’t stop there. The potential U.S. market alone is outstanding. We separate the potential market into two categories, ERV Add-Ons, both Commercial and Residential, and the Replacement Market, again both Commercial and Residential. The aggregate ERV Add-On market is almost $160 billion dollars, while the annual replacement markets, driven by the historical and existing replacement cycle for HVAC systems is almost $13 billion dollars.
How will we monetize the value of your investment? We see 2 potential exit strategies in a 3 to 5 year time horizon. First, we are a clear potential target for large companies in the HVAC industry suchy as Carrier, Trane and others, and of course, the size of our market potential also supports a potential public offering.
Our management team consists of experienced entrepreneurs and executives with both small and large company experience in the U.S. and abroad. Dr. Kenneth Kayser is a serial entrepreneur who has successfully exited from various companies founded by him and based on his technologies. Ron Fleckman, our CEO, has significant building industry experience and is widely known for his “green building” expertise. Aside from being a CPA and University of Chicago MBA, I bring both entrepreneurial and Fortune 500 financial experience to the team. Finally, Bob Strain, our head of Operations has over 20 years of experience setting up manufacturing and assembly facilities in the alternative energy and hi-technology fields.
Our next steps are aligned with the purpose of our initial fund raising round. Details of which can be found in our Executive Summary. We will be completing our production engineering drawings, completing software development, building 8-10 prototypes for BETA site testing and simultaneously sending units to applicable certification agencies.
