Nano - Polymer Technology
• Tampa Bay Area, Formed in 1999
• Latest Nano-Polymer Technology
• Multiple Production Facilities
• Proven New Patented Technology: “Next Generation” ERV
• Technology Developed From Fuel Cell R&D
• Future R&D Projects
•Desalination, Advanced Air Conditioning, Ultra capacitor3
Nano - Polymer Technology• Fuel Cell – proton exchange membrane

What is an Energy Recovery Ventilator• An ERV is an energy recovery exchanger
•Different from an HRV
• ERV Transfers temperature and humidity• Uses indoor air to “pre-condition” outside air• Required by code in many states• Saves capital and reduces operating costs
•Great ROI
5
Types of ER / HR Ventilators• Fixed Plate Heat: sensible only, low cost / maintenance
•Plastic, aluminum
• Fixed Plate Energy: sensible / latent independently•Plastic, aluminum, cellulose fiber (paper), nano polymer membrane
• Enthalpy Wheel: good moisture transfer, higher maintenance, moving parts

Why Energy Recovery ?• Improves Indoor Air Quality
• Reduces Co2, Formaldehydes, Allergens, etc.
• Healthier Indoor Environment
• Employees – increased productivity, reduced absence
• Students – better performance, increased attendance
• Reduces Humidity and Mold
• Reduced Energy Consumption
• Less work by hvac system
• Reduced tonnage, new construction

So What’s Different ?
• Independent heat and moisture exchange in a fixed
plate• Zero flow field leakage (AHRI Certified)• Great moisture transfer with no moving parts• Moisture is transferred in a molecular state
• no liquid means no drain required• no mold / mildew• inherently anti-microbial
• Simple and low maintenance 9
