Cool-N-Save™ Powered by Cloudburst® Product Overview June 11, 2008 The Problem Businesses Face Today... Rising Energy Costs, Pollution and Global Warming •Rising energy costs are having a dramatic effect on business and consumer spending --Petroleum and Natural gas account for 19% of U.S. electricity generation •Heating and Air Conditioning are responsible for emitting 150m tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year, adding to Global Climate Change. •The 10 hottest years on record have occurred in the last 14 years. According to Con-Edison Energy…. • When thermostat is set at 78 degrees, air conditioning accounts for 56% of an average electric bill *at 75 degrees… 74% of an average electric bill *at 72 degrees… 95% of an average electric bill Cool-N-Save Powered by Cloudburst® TM • Company overview – Greenway Design Group, LLC is a Huntington Beach California based company specializing in energy saving solutions for consumers and businesses, including the Cool-N-Save™ air conditioner pre-cooling system. – Cloudburst®, based in Simi Valley, California is one of the oldest and largest misting manufacturers in the U.S. Cloudburst has manufactured high-pressure mist solutions & technology for more than 14 years. – Cloudburst® and Greenway Design Group have partnered to form a joint venture, CNSCB, in order to develop and market “Cool-N-Save™ Powered by Cloudburst®”, focused on businesses who are interested in lowering their AC electricity costs. Cool-N-Save™ Powered by Cloudburst® Cool-N-Save™ Powered by Cloudburst® is a self-actuating, water-based cooling system for commercial AC condensers. Cool-N-Save™ Powered by Cloudburst® • How Does it work? The system works on the theory of adiabatic or “flash” evaporation, where microscopic water particles surround the condenser unit and absorb heat, lowering the ambient temperature by 20 to 30 degrees, resulting in substantial energy cost savings and a dramatic drop in head pressure, extending the life of the condenser unit. Cool-N-Save™ Powered by Cloudburst® The Competitive Advantage- Our Water Treatment Filter • During the product development phase, our design team addressed the possibility of scaling on air conditioner condenser fins and coils. Scaling can occur when high levels of calcium are present in the water supply, causing calcium carbonate molecules to attach to a surface. These tiny crystals will continue to grow until treated, or scale will form. • To combat this problem our design team enlisted the help of some of the nation’s foremost experts in water treatment technology to develop our water treatment filter. In addition to filtering out common sediment, the polyacrylate chemical used in the Cool-N-Save™ water treatment filter combines with scale forming molecules and distorts their geometry, preventing them from attaching to one another. The inhibited calcium molecules are dispersed through water and washed away, preventing them from adhering to the air conditioner’s heat transfer surface. Our Water Treatment Experts • • • Paul R.

"This effect implies that cooler air will be able to circulate throughout a house and this will decrease the time the condenser unit runs, thus reducing electricity cost to the user." Lee Vormelker Plan B Logistics, BSEE, MBA: “… A system test on 9/15/2007 concluded both an instant and a sustainable 24.6% reduction in energy consumption.” www.CoolnSave.com www.cloudburst.com
