LOCAL COMPANY CONTRIBUTES RADIANT SUBFLOOR TO SOLAR 7 TEAM’S ZERO ENERGY HOME

Warmboard, Inc.’s patented radiant subfloor technology will balance home’s temperatures and create greater heating stability with a green energy focus

(APTOS, CA) August 28, 2007 - Warmboard, Inc. today announced that they have agreed to sponsor Solar 7’s Zero Energy Home—MIT’s entry into the Department of Energy’s 2007 Solar Decathlon. Warmboard will contribute its signature radiant flooring system which more than 150,000 spectators will see when Solar 7 exhibits at the Solar Decathlon on the National Mall October 12-20.

Warmboard’s radiant subfloor technology circulates hot water through tubing installed in the insulated radiant panels; a process that significantly reduces heating costs. The Warmboard radiant flooring system begins with a seven-layer plywood subfloor, routed with modular channels and overlaid with thick, highly conductive stamped aluminum. This creates the only structural subfloor and radiant panel in one. Heat from the flooring system rises up into the home and thus creates an even temperature throughout rather than drafty currents of air traditionally found throughout most homes.

“At Warmboard, we are committed to finding more environmentally sound solutions to common problems,” said Terry Alsberg, CEO and inventor of Warmboard. “Solar 7’s home is beneficial on so many levels: to help educate consumers, to help further a commitment to greener living, and to help nourish the planet’s health as a whole.”

Warmboard’s technology has been available for more than seven years and installed in thousands of homes. The Warmboard system brings homeowners the benefits of radiant heat while eliminating construction difficulties and costs related to traditional radiant installation. Recently, Warmboard was selected as one of the Top Ten Green Building Products of 2007 by the editors of Sustainable Industries. The award recognizes companies that are innovators, pioneers and proven performers in creating high-quality, high-value resource-efficient products.

“We are very excited and thankful to have Warmboard working with us on our journey for first place,” said Kurt Keville, advisor to Solar 7. “This partnership not only helps Warmboard showcase their technology, but it also shows they are contributing to a stronger sustainable effort in modern living.”

The 2007 Competition takes place October 12 through October 20 at the National Mall in Washington, DC. During that time, all 20 competing homes will be open for public tours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays.
