New webpage offers studies on ventilation and resources to calculate expected savings

Billerica, Mass. — February 13, 2008 — GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies, a unit of GE Enterprise Solutions (NYSE:GE), is helping schools control their ventilation and outdoor air supply.

“Maintaining proper air quality in schools is an important part of maintaining a comfortable, healthy, productive environment for students and faculty,” said Rod Valenta, General Manager of GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies’ Telaire division.

The business launched a webpage to educate interested parties in the effects of ventilation in educational facilities. The page includes studies showing the negative impacts of too little ventilation, an expected savings calculator and potential rebates. Visit the new site here: http://www.gesensing.com/market/education.htm.

“We have installed approximately 5,000 of GE’s Telaire CO2 sensors in schools,” said Chris Hill of Cohesive Automation, Inc. “Our customers are most happy with the performance, accuracy and reliability of these CO2 sensors.”

Measuring and controlling ventilation with GE’s Telaire CO2 sensors helps ensure proper indoor air quality, saves energy usage when compared to the alternative fixed ventilation approach, reduces absenteeism which can increase funding for some K-12 school districts and reduces risk because compliance to codes and standards are measured and assured.
