SolarAttic's "Conservation Technology" Poised To Save U.S. 586 Million Barrels of Imported Oil Annually

As the cost of energy continues to escalate, heated debate swirls over the idea of drilling versa ideas like that of inflating auto tires. However, our national energy conversation has ignored the key issue of "conservation technologies." These are technologies, which extend our capacity to conserve energy. SolarAttic's unique conservation technologies are now poised to save over 586 million barrels of imported oil annually. That figure is greater than the current annual projected oil output of the Alaska National Wildlife refuge [ANWR] and illustrates the power of one "conservation technology."

Ed Palmer, SolarAttic's president said: "SolarAttic has harnessed the Sun's solar energy which is collected in every structure in the United States. The Sun's solar energy is reflected in the nature of the solar roof and solar attic. Today, SolarAttic has simple technologies that can reduce our nation's foreign oil dependence. Taken collectively and deployed across the United States, SolarAttic's conservation technologies would save the U.S. 586 million barrels of imported oil annually."

SolarAttic's technology recovers solar heat from attics to heat swimming pools, homes, and hot water. It also controls attic ventilation reducing air conditioning costs. How it works is easy to understand. The existing roof functions as a solar collector. Heat is then transferred to the attic where it is trapped and stored. SolarAttic uses proven heat exchange technology to capture and use this free energy from the Sun. By using the existing attic heat energy, the U.S. can save 30% of its annual space heating costs, 35% of its air conditioning costs, 50% of its electric hot water heating costs and 95% of its pool heating costs.
