Airtech Provides Building Owners No Cost Solution to `Sick Building

Syndrome'

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2001--Airtech International Group, Inc.

(OTCBB:AIRG - news) an international indoor air quality solutions provider,

announced today a nationwide ``Solutions Campaign'' to address the Sick

Building Syndrome, through its IAQ Diagnostics Division and its Commercial

Building Solutions Division.

Airtech has developed a unique program to offer new air purification

equipment at no net cost to building owners, while providing improved air

quality and reduced legal exposure to IAQ-related complaints or lawsuits.

This program is designed to be beneficial to occupants, owners and property

managers alike. The pass-through to the tenant will also be offset by

savings in total Common Area Maintenance (CAM) costs. This is a win-win

opportunity, and one of the most exciting breakthroughs the Company has

made.

The highlights of the program for Building Owners include; (1) increase in

rental rate (2) increase in net operating income on property (3) enhancement

to attract new tenants and retain old (4) reduced threat of IAQ related

litigation (5) enhanced tenant relations (6) rebates to building owners, tax

credits with no capital outlay. The highlights of the program for Tenants

include; (1) improved productivity for corporate staff (2) reduction in

overall building utility expense (3) availability of designated smoke break

rooms in certain buildings (4) after-hour access and operation with purified

air quality. The net result is owner and tenant both save money. According

to Urban Land Institute and Building Owners Management Association (BOMA),

IAQ is the number three concern for tenants in office buildings behind

rental rates and temperature. The EPA estimates that 1.4 million commercial

buildings in the US have health-threatening air quality. World Health

Organization studies show that as much as 30 percent of buildings in the

world have a problem with sick building syndrome.

Airtech CEO, C.J. Comu, stated, ``We are very excited about this innovative

sales program and the potential impact in the commercial real estate market.

We are developing a distribution channel with nationally recognized HVAC

companies, wholesalers, distributors, dealers and representatives

world-wide.'' The lab test results confirm management's belief that entire

workplaces suffering from sick building syndrome can now be cleansed of

harmful airborne gases and particulates. No other 'in duct' system has the

powerful, synergistic effect of our three stage filtration. Management is

very bullish on its projection of sales in excess of 10,000 (Model S-30)

units in its first year.

In a recent test conducted by Southwest Research Institute Inc.,

(www.swri.com) Laboratory testing of the Company's new Titan III

Photocatalytic Sterilization System (Airsopure Model S-30 in-duct unit) the

report showed a dramatic reduction of up to 80%-90% of the 40 most dangerous

Volatile Organic Compounds and Gases commonly found in a home or office. The

Model S-30 incorporates High Efficiency MERV-11 Filtration, Germicidal UV

Technology and Photo Catalytic Oxidation to cleanse and sterilize the air

without compromising (in fact increasing) HVAC efficiency.

Dallas, Texas based, M. B. Kiser, Inc., a 55 year old r HVAC dealer,

Chief Engineer, stated, ``This program is one of the best

I have seen anywhere. Airtech's ability to assist with IAQ solutions, while

understanding HVAC contractor needs and concerns, will enable us to expand

our sources of revenue while adding to the scope of building services. The

TITAN-III Airsopure Model S-30 Photocatalytic Sterilization system is a fine

product, and we intend to include it as an integral part of our company's

approach to building services.''
