Remember: NEW VENUE

AirGreen LLC: Air-Conditioning with Less Energy, Higher Air Quality and
More Comfort

Ever anticipate entering a refreshing air-conditioned building on a hot,
hazy and humid NYC afternoon in July? And then to get inside and find that
you feel cold, clammy and uncomfortable?

AirGreen’s (www.airgreenllc.com) new air-conditioning system can fix that
and save energy—lots of energy. The company has developed
a revolutionary air-conditioning system utilizing a 98% efficient liquid
desiccant design to control humidity independent of temperature, saving 50
- 60% of the energy required for air-conditioning in Commercial and
Industrial buildings. The breakthrough technology controls temperature and
humidity of both outside and recirculated air and cleans the ventilation
air, all while producing more comfortable and healthy conditions - and all
that without over-cooling. In winter, ventilation air is fully conditioned
and 80% of energy and moisture recovered from the exhaust air stream. It
can be run either with heat pumps or renewable energy sources, an industry
first. Residential products will also be developed.

Date: Friday, May 13, 2016

Time: 8:00am – 10:00am

Organizer: Gelvin Stevenson, PhD

Host: Troutman Sanders

Location: 875 Third Avenue & 53rd Street

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A further problem that Air Green solves is that conventional systems can
only handle 25% of moisture energy and the ratio of moisture to heat in
well-insulated buildings with efficient lighting has increased to 50 or 60%
with building code improvements. Conventional systems remove moisture at
very low efficiency.

*Intellectual Property.* The company has filed two provisional patents: one
for AirGreen’s main process with 17 claims and one for a packaged rooftop
design. It also plans to file more patents, protecting its considerable
knowhow.

*Markets.* Markets are plentiful. They include: Commercial buildings such
as hospitals, schools, retail and supermarkets all have specific and
rigorous requirements for indoor environmental quality and are ideal
customers for a liquid desiccant system like AirGreen’s. Prospective
customers that have been interviewed include Liberty Property Trust,
Jefferson University, ARUP, the global consulting engineers, and Ecosave, a
multi-national Energy Services Company (ESCO). They have all expressed
interest in purchasing units.

The total addressable market for AirGreen products in commercial and
industrial buildings is $13 Billion and increasing at 9% a year. Overseas
addressable markets are estimated to be an additional $30 Billion out of a
total of $110 Billion HVAC equipment worldwide. The planned residential
product will open up another large market, probably through licensing to a
large manufacturer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Competition.* There is competition, but the company has a long list of
competitive advantages. Test results of AirGreen’s professionally
engineered prototype designs have distanced AirGreen from other suppliers
of liquid desiccant equipment by doubling the efficiencies and capabilities
of the nearest competitor while reducing capital costs.  Conventional
systems including desiccant wheels cannot remove the amount of humidity
required economically and AirGreen products are cost-competitive while
having superior performance on energy consumption and Indoor Air Quality.

*Funds Raised: AirGreen is c*urrently self-funded for $200,000 and looking
for funding to move the company towards field trials, early sales and
initial production. $600,000 is the minimum and $2 Million is the desired
raise for 2016.  The higher figure would accelerate product launch and
sales growth by one year. An Angel group is interested in syndicating if
$250,000 is pledged.

GIF thanks Investors Circle for its generous support, Geoff Miles and Chino
Maduagwu for developing and operating GIF’s video, social media and design
capabilities, Tonia Popke for her financial expertise, and Jesse Goldstein,
PhD, for his continued assistance.

* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

*Business Models: Sales and Licensing.* AirGreen intends to establish its
own sales force for national accounts and regional distributor networks to
sell its engineered product, which will be manufactured in Pennsylvania. In
parallel, it has established three strategic partnerships with major HVAC
manufacturers to license its technology and develop packaged products using
AirGreen technology for their mass markets. These partners also provide
potential exit paths for single or multiple exits.

*Current Activities. *The company, founded in 2014, has four in the
management team and works with several subcontractors for labour and
services. It is raising funds to pay for 12-month field trials with key
partners and customers. The company needs to build engineering, support and
sales staff, with the expectation of achieving full production capability
in 2017.  Also, funding for international patent filing will be needed in
October 2016.
