George Smitherman, Health Minister for the Province of Ontario joined company officials today for the official start-up of the company's latest FLU-ACE(R) installation at the Stratford General Hospital site of the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance. "It was a great honour to have Minister Smitherman join us today to mark the activation of our seventh FLU-ACE(R) system at a hospital and the sixth now in use by hospitals in Ontario," said Mr. Angus. "The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance is to be commended for its concerted effort at reducing energy costs and air pollution with the use of innovative technology such as the FLU-ACE(R) system." Thermal Energy's FLU-ACE(R) technology recovers waste heat from a variety of combustion sources, sometimes providing a complete smokestack replacement, while removing harmful pollutants, and returning "free" clean hot water for industrial processes and building heating. FLU-ACE(R) also provides an attractive return on investment by significantly reducing fuel consumption and generating certifiable cer·ti·fi·a·ble adj. 1. That can or must be certified.

Minister Smitherman and John Wilkinson, MPP (Massively Parallel Processing or Massively Parallel Processor) A multiprocessing architecture that uses up to thousands of processors. Some might contend that a computer system with 64 or more CPUs is a massively parallel processor. Perth-Middlesex and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of the Environment, were given a tour of the Stratford General Hospital site installation by Mr. Angus. They were accompanied by officials from Johnson Controls, Inc. and the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance. Mr. Angus showed how the waste heat recovered by the FLU-ACE(R) is being redirected for building heating. Minister Smitherman and Mr. Wilkinson participated in a ribbon cutting to mark the system's activation. This FLU-ACE(R) installation will reduce the Stratford General Hospital site's consumption of natural gas by 20% annually generating an estimated annual saving in excess of $154,000. It also reduces greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% a year including 776 metric tons of carbon dioxide carbon dioxide, chemical compound, CO2, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is about one and one-half times as dense as air under ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure. (CO2), the equivalent of removing more than 170 cars from area roads. The 10-metre tall FLU-ACE(R) system which sits mostly inside the hospital's boiler room facility and captures the waste heat and flue gases from three boilers, virtually eliminates the use of the hospital's existing 45-metre tall smoke stacks.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Andrew Williams said he looks forward to deriving the benefits of the FLU-ACE(R) system and other energy reduction measures at his facility. "The project's impact on patients and hospital savings will be significant," said Mr. Williams. "We can also all breathe a little easier thanks to the reduction in greenhouse emissions." The system at the Stratford General Hospital site was supplied to Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : JCI JCI Journal of Clinical Investigation JCI Johnson Controls, Inc. JCI Junior Chamber International JCI Joint Commission International JCI Japan Concrete Institute JCI Journal of Communication Inquiry JCI Johannesburg Consolidated Investment Company Limited ) as part of its major energy reduction project at all four hospitals in the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA HPHA Hawaii Public Housing Authority ).Under the project Johnson Controls issued Thermal Energy a supply and engineering contract for the system as previously announced in a news release on June 15, 2004.The FLU-ACE(R) system accounts for more than one-third of the energy savings and more than half of the emission reductions being derived from the $3.8 million energy reduction project at the three hospitals.
