10 NANSULATE HOMEPROTECT & ENERGY PROTECT Performance - Thermal Independent Testing: Standard Test Method for Thermal Performance of Building Assemblies - UNI EN ISO 8990:1999: Thermal transmission through the wall section coated with Nansulate was reduced by 34.80%Description: Two 8cm cement wall sections are tested according to test standards for a variety of thermal measurements including thermal transmission, thermal conductance and thermal resistance. 10 of 31

11 NANSULATE HOMEPROTECT & ENERGY PROTECT Performance - Thermal 5 1/2 year Residential Case Study Insulation of home application was done on the underside of the home s roof deck (attic and ceilings). Energy Savings achieved was 46% reduction in cooling costs as measured over a 3-year period post application and compared to a 2 ½ year period prior to application.

12 NANSULATE HOMEPROTECT & ENERGY PROTECT Performance - Thermal Heating Oil Case Study Homeowners in Connecticut were looking for an easy way to reduce their heating bills during the cold season and make their home more comfortable year-round. They applied Nansulate HomeProtect Clear Coat to the interior walls, ceiling, and other areas of their home to provide a barrier to the heat transfer, thus reducing the amount of energy used to heat and cool and providing a more consistent interior temperature year-round. 12 of 31

15 NANSULATE HOMEPROTECT & ENERGY PROTECT Clear Satin Finish - Can Rejuvenate Certain Surfaces Coating provided a varnished/finished look to the wood walls and ceiling. Customer in Nova Scotia that commented that his vinyl siding looked like it did 10-years earlier when it wasn t faded. 15 of 31

16 NANSULATE HOMEPROTECT & ENERGY PROTECT Allows Underlying Color to Remain 16 of 31

17 Independent Testing: Thermal Conductivity over concrete roof tiles Thermal transmission through the tiles coated with Nansulate was reduced by 30%This patented technology incorporates a nanomaterial that reduces direct heat conduction, rather than simply being reflective. This enables the coating to reduce both heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer. Heat always transfers to cold, so no matter what your climate or season, Nansulate Crystal makes for a comfortable environment and lower heating and cooling costs for homes and buildings. DID YOU KNOW: That if you live as far south as Atlanta, GA, you can still be losing $800/year in energy costs due to the Heating Penalty associated with white reflective coatings. Read more in our blog NANSULATE CRYSTAL Performance - Thermal cool White and radiant reflective coatings help in summer, but not winter. cool Nansulate reduces heat conduction, doesn t just reflect the sun, so it helps both in summer and winter. warm warm Reflecting the sun doesn t help reduce heating bills. warm cool Reducing heat conduction from inside to outside does. warm cool 17 of 31

18 NANSULATE CRYSTAL Performance - Thermal Residential Testimonial: "My house was 12 years old when I had it painted two years ago. I had a couple of spray coats of Nansulate applied to the roof. Results: Roof looks like new! The coating makes the color look more vibrant. My neighbors actually thought that I had new tiles put on, but in fact coating with Nansulate was just a fraction of the cost of re-roofing. There is no more staining due to mold, like my neighbors tile, which makes my roof a standout on the block.my total monthly energy cost is down a minimum of 17% to maximum of 42% year over year!!! I did not expect that much.prior to having the coating applied, I had one section of my roof that received little to no sun light, and it needed to be power washed with diluted bleach once or twice a year due to heavy mildew and mold. Now there is none, that section looks just like the rest of the roof. Nansulate exceeded my expectations!" Thank You, Ed Tyler, Niceville, FL 18 of 31

19 Independent Testing: Performance Mold/Bacteria Resistance Results from ASTM D 5590 & ASTM G21: Zero to minimal mold growth All were exposed to spore-producing bacteria, including Pencillium funiculosum, Aspergillus niger, Aureobasidium pullulans, Chaetomium globosum, and Trichoderma virens. After four weeks, the Nansulate coatings exhibited zero or minimal mold growths, whereas the uncoated surfaces showed extreme to 100 percent mold coverage. Un-coated Nansulate Coated In addition to passing the same mold resistance testing above, Nansulate Crystal has undergone testing that is specific to the bacteria that causes black streaks on roofs - Gleocapsa spp. Based on the study results, the tested coated tiles demonstrated excellent ability to deter microbial growth and discoloration throughout the study, which was optimized to allow accelerated growth in the 4 month study period. (The tan/white discoloration is a byproduct of the test and does not indicate microbial growth. The green areas indicate microbial growth.) 19 of 31
