1 OAKLEY AIR SYSTEMS AIR CLEANING PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS Helping Businesses with Air Quality Issues for 25 Years At OakleyAir Systems

2 Are your Air Filters costing you MONEY? Is the air in your facility HEALTHY? Most Health Clubs and Fitness Centers would have to answer YES to the first question and NO to the second. If your club stays hot, if you AC runs most of the day, if your system freezes up, if there is dust everywhere, then you need to change your filters. Most filters you buy from the local hardware or one of the big box stores are doing little to help you keep the air in your club clean and are actually costing you money. This presentation will explain how our filters are different and show you why you should consider using the OakleyAir Systems Filter in your Health Club or Fitness Center. Oakley Air has over twenty five years of experience designing filtration systems for Nuclear Plants, Hospitals, Bioterrorism Test Facilities, and the like. Now your club can benefit from the technology we developed for these industries.

3 Most businesses and homes use a fiberglass filter purchased at a local hardware or retail store. The American Lung Association® of the Upper Midwest Health House® states: “Panel filters, usually 1" fiberglass filters, are the typical furnace filters installed in the ductwork of most home heating and/or air conditioning systems. These filters do little to remove contaminants from the air. The primary function of these filters is to protect the fan and minimize the amount of dust on the heating and cooling coil.” They go on to say: “The dust in your home is made up of pollen, plant and mold spores, pet dander, lint, bacteria and other contaminants. Regular daily activities within the home such as dusting, vacuuming and cooking can increase particulate concentrations. These particles, measured in microns, range in size from fairly large to microscopic. To better understand the size of a micron, note that a human hair is about 70 microns in diameter. The tiniest particles make up 99% of debris in the air circulating within your home. These can bypass the respiratory system’s defense mechanisms—such as the nose, sinuses and windpipe—that are designed to filter out particles 3-5 microns in size and keep them from becoming lodged in our lungs. Health effects from breathing these particles can range from irritation of the eyes and/or respiratory tissues to more serious effects, such as de-creased lung function and cancer. They can also cause allergic reactions and infectious diseases. One way to help lower the particle count in your home is to use better air filters and change or clean them regularly.” We at OakleyAir Systems have put together a filter to address these areas of concern AND MORE!!!

4 Air Flow Issue #1- Capturing the harmful particles that make up your air. How is the OakleyAir Filter Different? 1. Our filters allow the A/C fan to run more freely, that is there is less resistance and better air flow. This allows more of the contaminants to actually enter the filter. 2. We have a depth loading filter that actually captures these contaminants without starving the A/C of its air flow. The filter media is actually made of a graduated density material. This means that the larger particles are captured all along the front half of the filter while the smaller particles are captured at the back of the filter. See the figure to the right for a visual representation. This allows the filter to trap up to 95% of pollen, lint, mold spores, dust, and other contaminates that enter the filter while allowing the A/C fan to run at full flow. No other filter does this.

5 Issue #2- What do we do with the contaminants that are captured? How is the OakleyAir Filter different? Other filters capture some of the contaminants but what happens with them? The answer is nothing. The contaminants grow and spread on the face of their filters. Because 90-95% of the air is continually re-circulated within the facility, this can cause some real health issues for you and your workers. While we capture 95% of these contaminants- our filters are also equipped with a tackifier that holds onto the contaminants and eliminates their harmful effects. The contaminants –instead of growing or multiplying are killed or rendered harmless because our filters are equipped with an anti-microbial treatment that has been used in our hospital filters for more than 20 years that kills bacteria, mold, mildew, and other harmful spores.

6 Issue #3- Most filters allow the air and contaminants to bypass the media. Most filters are equipped with a cardboard or plastic frame. This allows a significant amount of air to go unfiltered. In fact cardboard edge filters allow 20% of the air to go unfiltered. Dirty air bypass is one of the leading causes of coil fouling which can cause your system to freeze up and prematurely burn out. Unfiltered air bypass results in no protection from biological agents and microbial contaminants which are important in today's environment. How is the OakleyAir Filter different? Bypass Elimination- The OakleyAir filter system eliminates the risk of unfiltered air bypass around the filter and the filter rack. We utilize a selvedge edge to provide self-gasketing which forces 100% of the air to pass through our superior filter media.

7 Issue #4 How do I know when to change my filter? Most filters have never been tested to determine when they should be changed. Some claim to have an extended filter life but in reality, all that is happening is that the fan is being starved even more. How is the OakleyAir Filter different? We have tested our filters under the most stringent of conditions. The OakleyAir Filter ‘manages’ the dirt by utilizing depth loading which allows our filters to outperform pleated filters. The graph at the bottom shows the results from a laboratory test for filter life. The results can be easily seen – our filters out live a high capacity pleated filter by 75%, which is nearly twice the service life and last a solid 3 months. There is dramatic savings in the extended service life – reduced filters to buy, shipping/storage cost, labor cost, disposal cost and more. RESISTANCE vs. DUST LOADING Pressure drop (resistance) Dust load pleated OakleyAir Systems

8 A typical A/C system has three motors associated with each system. The motors are for the outside unit blower, the outside unit compressor, and the inside unit air handling blower. The combined energy usage of these components averages approximately 200 kWh with a standard pleated filter that you can get from any hardware store. This usage is based on a pleated filter that has an initial differential pressure of 0.5 INWC (inches water column) when the filter is clean and 1.0 INWC when the filter is dirty. If you install a filter that cleans just as well as the pleated filter but has one half of the differential pressure like our filters do, then the savings would be calculated as follows: A/C Energy Cost with Typical Pleated filter =200 kWh/ton/month x.15 $/kWh= $30.00/ton of A/C A/C Energy Cost with the OakleyAir Filter = 150 kWh/ton/month x.15 $/kWh= $22.5/ton of A/C Based on the statistics above, using the OakleyAir Filter will save you approximately $7.50 per ton of A/C. The typical Fitness Center has 10 tons of A/C so the savings would be $75.00 per month or $900.00 per year. These numbers are very conservative as most centers are paying more per kWh due to having a 3 phase system versus a standard single phase in most homes and businesses. To calculate the savings for your facility, look at your statement and insert your kWh rate and do the math. Issue #5 How The OakleyAir Filter Saves You Money

9 The OakleyAir Filter is the only air filter that will allow your Air Conditioner or Furnace to operate at 100% efficiency. Remember slide 4 where we talk about reduced air resistance? This is the characteristic that allows you’re A/C to run more freely. This results in more air flow and less run time to satisfy the temperature requirement and allows a higher air flow velocity which results in more contaminants actually passing through the filters. A practical example of this is when you try to breath thru a straw. You can only get so much air and you work harder to breath. This is exactly what happens to your system with a pleated or clogged fiberglass filter. With pleated filters, when you go to install them, if the system is on, they will suck out of your hand. This is not good and demonstrates the flow loss we are demonstrating. A whistling noise around your filter is also a sign of this problem and bypass as well. This causes your system to work longer and harder and can lead to your system freezing up due to lack of air circulation. Most important, it causes the system to run longer which increases your electric bill costing you MONEY! Issue #6- With all these benefits- the OakleyAir Systems Filters have to be expensive!!!!! Wrong!!!- The OakleyAir Filters actually save you money and more than pay for themselves. Plus our pricing is comparable or less than pleated filters starting at $13.75 each and that includes shipping!! How is the OakleyAir Filter different?

10 Issue #7- I always forget to change my filters. From the previous slides, it should be apparent that proper filter maintenance is important in many ways. How can the OakleyAir Filter help you with this issue? We are the only company to offer a system that serves as a perfect reminder of when to change your filters. We call it the AUTOSHIP program. Every 3 months we remember for you. We will store your filter sizes, date of last filter change, and ship your filters to you automatically and follow up to ensure you have received your filters. This is not a contract but a service we offer to take one issue off of your already full plate. Let us be your filter experts while you are being the fitness expert.

11 Here are all the reasons the OakleyAir Systems Filter is right for you: Captures the harmful particles that make up your air Treats the contaminants that are captured Zero Bypass Lasts a full three months Cost Effective Autoship service Can you think of any reason you should use anything else?
