Aquentium Announces Appointment of Chuck Harding as West Coast Territory Manager of the Company’s “Green Technology” for Affordable Housing and SIP Construction

North Palm Springs, CA - (WORLD STOCK WIRE) - February 22, 2008 -- Aquentium, Inc. (OTCBB:AQNM) a diversified publicly traded company today announced the appointment of Chuck Harding as territory manager of the company’s “Green Technology” for affordable housing and SIP construction.

The Aquentium SIP housing system is designed to produce affordable and low cost housing locally, nationally, and internationally. The building system is unique in design and method of manufacture being strong enough to meet he highest world standards and simple in design so as it produces substantial savings of time and in building construction costs.

SIPs are high-performance building panels for floors, walls and roofs in residential and commercial buildings. Each monolithic panel is typically made using expanded polystyrene (EPS) rigid foam insulation sandwiched between two structural skins of fiber-cement, metal or oriented strand board (OSB). The result is a building system that is very strong, durable, predictable, energy efficient, and cost effective.

SIP buildings are vastly more energy efficient, stronger, quieter, and more draft free than other building systems, such as stud framing with fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass is sometimes used for furnace filters because air moves through so freely. Rigid insulation is used as solid component insulation in almost every industry for its inherent efficiency and lack of air movement. These attributes are built right into a SIP building. Less air leakage means fewer drafts, less noise, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable indoor environment.

A study by the Oak Ridge National Labs (ORNL) proves that a 4-inch SIP wall outperforms 2"x4" stick and batt construction, and even edges out 2"x6" construction in terms of thermal performance. Because SIPs are the structural elements, there are no studs or braces to cause breaks in the insulative action. The end result is a more comfortable, energy efficient structure that performs up to spec in real-world conditions. There are no hidden gaps, because a solid layer of foam insulation is integral to panel construction.

By contrast, state-of-the-art technical analysis of whole wall performance indicates that the losses in a stud wall are much greater than you might think: on average, the other standard components in stick and batt construction can reduce R-values in as much as 30% of the wall area. Fortunately, that's not the case with structural insulated panels. The ORNL study found that SIPs perform at approximately 97% of their stated R-value overall, losing only 3% to nail holes, seams, splines, and the like. Wiring chases are precut or preformed into the foam core, providing a continuous layer of insulation keeping the elements at bay and the interior free of drafts and cold spots.

A SIP wall also outperforms stick and batt when it comes to maintaining consistent interior temperatures, and that translates to improved occupant comfort. The interior surface temperature of frame construction drops precipitously at every stud, while the SIP wall remains consistent across its entire surface. No temperature dips mean improved occupant comfort, regardless of where you are in the room. That's a big part of what people are talking about when they say they can immediately "feel the difference" in a SIP-built residential or commercial space. With SIPs, thermal efficiency and comfort are built in at the factory, and now the lab results prove it.
