Equity Thru Energy Offers Innovative Energy Saving Programs
For Restaurants and Commercial Property Pool/Spa Owners

SAN DIEGO, Calif., May 22, 2008- Equity Thru Energy (ETE), (www.controlledenergysavings.com), a leading energy management firm, today announced two programs with no cost to the user. The programs are designed to curb energy usage and expenses at restaurants and properties with commercial pools and spas.

"These are very exciting programs that typically will save qualified owners 10 to 35 percent on their utility bills, and will help conserve energy - at no cost to them.
It's a win-win situation and we are very pleased to be tasked with bringing this to business owners in the San Diego region," said Tom Debin, CEO of Equity Thru Energy. "This innovative technology creates green solutions through reductions in emissions."

ETE is providing two different programs, one for restaurants and one for pools and spas. In both cases, ETE will install controllers and provide Web-based monitoring. Installation and monitoring are provided at no cost and must be installed by December 31, 2008 to qualify for the program.

The M2M Controls program for the restaurant industry optimizes gas and electricity usage by monitoring temperature of domestic hot water, internal heating/air conditioning and balancing of ventilation hoods. Programs are installed in the controller, which is monitored through a Web-based site that allows the user to remotely modify their site-based controller.

The second program, Smart Controls for Pools and Spas, is for commercial and multi-family property owners. The program reduces heating costs by lowering gas usage, reducing electricity needed for pumps and filters, and providing lower maintenance and equipment replacement costs. Further, natural heating from the sun is considered in the controlling programming and helps to maximize energy use reductions. Operations are monitored through the Web-based site.

Through monitoring and adjusting energy use, the programs have proven the ability to prevent waste and cut costs on energy bills. Inefficiencies and operating problems are easily identified and corrections made on a timely basis. Data collected is available on a Web-based site and can be assessed by ETE and the property owner. Notices of equipment malfunction are sent to the owner by e-mail, text messaging or telephone.

Businesses that participate in either program may keep the energy-saving controller and continue future energy savings by monitoring through an ETE program or through self- monitoring. However, there is no obligation to continue monitoring through ETE after the program.

Those who own or manage restaurants or pools and spas may arrange for an ETE representative to visit their sites. Call 877-352-0606 for further information or to request a personal visit.
