About our patented technology: How does COOLIT work?

INTRODUCTION

Energy rates are increasing at 6.7% on an average annually so as you would imagine energy efficiency improvements are very popular with millions of home owners. Passively reducing consumption can help both home owners and commercial property owners save money significantly while creating a more comfortable and safer environment. The term Passive Reduction simply means using less energy to accomplish the same results for heating and cooling a home or building. Passive Reduction includes installing Energystar windows, efficient doors and most importantly insulating your attic and walls. Energy Efficiency is achieved by installing efficient lights such as LEDs or Energystar rated home appliances like refrigerators, water heaters, air conditioners and dryers to name a few. Active Production refers to the generation of energy with solar panels, wind power or other technologies which replace the electricity you buy from your power company but at a lower cost. Passive Reduction is by far the best approach to achieve a true energy efficient home because it reduces the buildings overall consumption of electricity and gas as a result of proper insulation. One reason why passive reduction is superior is that HVAC systems last significantly longer because they don’t work as hard to achieve and maintain a comfortable ambient temperature in your home or building. The problem is that most homes and buildings are not built to be efficient, they are built to be cost effective, the result is a poorly insulated building which will never by truly efficient. In some parts of the country attics and walls are built with absolutely no insulation whatsoever. Unfortunately in this scenario the first indicator of a poorly insulated house, is a huge utility bill. The obvious choice and most cost- effective way to reduce your homes consumption is by embracing Passive Reduction. The next logical action is to reduce consumption by utilizing Energy Efficient appliances. Finally install an Active Production generator like a solar system to replace the power from your utility provider. Remember, Reduce before you Produce. Case studies show that when a home or building is properly insulated it requires far fewer solar panels. Until now the solution to the problem home owners are facing has been elusive. Rolled Insulation can be time consuming to install, messy and expensive. Most thermal barrier coatings are ceramic based they are very expensive, toxic and contain harmful VOCs leaving home owners few choices. The cheapest and cleanest energy is the energy not consumed.

SOLUTION

COOLIT Products Inc. owns a patented, thermal barrier liquified paint additive that has been tested by independent labs for thermal insulation characteristics, fire retardant properties. COOLIT contains no harmful VOCs and is a safe Borate Sodium based product. Because its properties are non toxic it is safe for humans and pets alike. COOLIT has demonstrated remarkable test results during independent lab testing. COOLIT actually has the flame spread rating of concrete. Our patented additive is easily mixed with any acrylic based paint and primers. COOLIT can be easily applied by spraying, brushing or rolling. Unlike expensive ceramic based thermal coats which contain VOCs and reflect radiant heat which means it has to be applied on the outer surface of a building or home, COOLIT can be embedded anywhere in the substrate, COOLIT is a true non-toxic, fire retardant thermal barrier. COOLIT serves as a multifunction product, keeping your home cool when it’s hot outside and warm when it’s cold out and much safer in the unfortunate event of a wildfire. The problem with other thermal barrier paints is the home owner has very limited choice of colors. COOLIT is compatible with all colors and does not affect the integrity of the you choose. COOLIT has withstood rigorous thermal testing and when sprayed into uninsulated attics customers show a 30 degree drop in attic temperature within a few hours. When COOLIT is applied to attics, interior and exterior walls an energy reduction of up to 48 percent can be achieved. (Please see documented case studies below)

Conclusion

According to EnergyStar your homes windows account for only 20% of home energy loss. If the goal is to reduce energy loss by reducing HVAC usage, the walls and attic account for 60% of total losses. The typical residential home is mostly wall surface and attic space, so it makes sense to reduce the largest portion of energy loss with COOLIT first before spending tens of thousands of dollars on a solar system. Active production like Solar Power is a great and is very effective at turning sunlight into energy but what needs to be recognized is that there is an environmentally safe energy saving fire retardant paint treatment which can be mixed with any acrylic based paint or primer and any color. Keep in mind that COOLIT compliment Solar and they work well together however painting with COOLIT is far cheaper than buying solar panels.
