1 SolarWall by Conserval Engineering Inc Oskars Pakalniņš SolarWall Baltic SIA

2 Conserval Engineering Inc. Offices: Toronto, Buffalo, Paris Founded: 1977 Dealer Network: NA, Europe, Asia, Customers: In 32 countries Africa, South America Owens Corning, Bombardier, Boeing, Ford, NASA, FedEx, Wal-Mart, Jaguar, 3M, etc. US / Canada Military

3 SolarWall What is it? SolarWall is a patented solar thermal technology which Heats ventilation air using a Metal wall system built as an outer skin, which is covered with Micro-perforations on facing panels and a Specially designed internal Framing system.

4 System Types SolarWall (Retrofit) SolarDuct w or w/o PV Roof Integrated w or w/o PV HVAC Unit

5 SolarWall How does it work? SIDE-MOUNTED SUMMER BYPASS HVAC SYSTEM TO DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SOLARWALL SURFACE 15 30cm AIR CAVITY

6 SolarWall How does it work? SOLARWALL PANELS

7 SolarWall How does it work? OUTSIDE AIR IS HEATED PASSING THROUGH ABSORBER AIR GAP AIR SPACE UNDER NEGATIVE PRESSURE AIR SPACE SOLARWALL SURFACE PROFILED SHEET PROVIDES WIND BOUNDARY LAYER

8 SolarWall How does it work? SIDE-MOUNTED SUMMER BYPASS HVAC SYSTEM TO DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AIR SPACE SOLARWALL SURFACE

9 The SolarWall system is ideally suited to pre-temper ventilation air used for de-stratification. Fabric Ducting SolarWall Fan Unit SOLARWALL SURFACE

10 SolarWall Is it Efficient? Up to 80% solar energy conversion Validated by: US Department of Energy - National Renewable Energy Laboratory Natural Resources Canada CANMET Laboratories Independent monitoring reports Major engineering firms Customers in 32 countries Results! The US Military has identified SolarWall as one of the most efficient and cost-effective solar technologies on the market today.

11 SolarWall How well does it work? Heats air an average of C above ambient Solar energy conversion up to 80% peak watts m2 Recaptures building wall heat losses Increases effective insulation value up to Rsi-10 Reduces cost of increased ventilation De-stratification with pre-heated air & flexible ducting Weatherproof exterior facade (20 colours) No Maintenance

12 SolarWall Cost Benefits Typical ROI New 0-3 years Retrofit 3-6 years A hedge against fuel cost inflation Low cost installation year lifespan Reduces 20-50% of heating fuel demand

13 SolarWall System Integration Panels installed cm from wall to create an air cavity Framing attaches directly to building framing or masonry facade Installed over or around existing wall openings Connects to building ventilation system Building integrated for new construction or retrofit to existing buildings.

14 SolarWall Where is it used? Wherever you need heat! Commercial Buildings Industrial Buildings Office Buildings Multi-Residential Municipal Facilities Schools Hospitals

19 CA Group Case Study - Overview - Monitored Results

20 CA Group Roll Mill - Evenwood, UK 400 m2 SolarWall SolarWall fans and flexible fabric ducting 40 South Azimuth 28 C max temp rise 50% reduction in gas consumption (source: BSRIA monitoring report)

21 LEED Credits SolarWall qualifies for up to 6 LEED points 1. Energy & Atmosphere Optimize Energy Performance EAC1 (1-10) Renewable Energy EAC2 (1-3) 2. Materials & Resources Recycled Content MR Credit 4.1 (1-2) 3. Indoor Environmental Quality Ventilation Effectiveness (1)

22 SolarDuct

23 SolarDuct TM SolarDuct TM is a modular rooftop application of the SolarWall technology Engineered for roof settings and for where traditional wall mount systems are not feasible Like SolarWall, SolarDuct preheats ventilation air before it enters rooftop air handling units

24 SolarDuct array connected to an rooftop HVAC Unit

25 RETScreen Feasibility Analysis Software 207,000 users in 222 countries (1000 new each week) Taught by 181 Universities/colleges around the world Free software - Free Support - 26 Languages 9 Renewable Energy Technology Modules 48-years of weather data from over 1000 locations + NASA SSE data set User input site conditions (specific to technology) The global gold standard for feasibility analysis tools Developed by an International Community of Major Organizations for the International Community of Energy Consumers.
