PALM SPRINGS, Calif.,
April 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Attune
RTD (OTCBB:AURT), is proud to announce its proprietary BrioWave
technology has been approved for financing under the California
PACE program. California's PACE program gives local property
owners access to affordable financing for energy and water
efficient improvements that can reduce overall utility expenses.
The amount of financing available to each property owner is
determined by the property's assessed value and requires no money
down and no credit check. The financing is paid back annually over
a period up to 20 years and is transferrable if the property is
sold or transferred. According to Shawn
Davis, C.E.O, "We feel this is a great opportunity,
especially since our newest vendor, Desert Electric Supply is very
knowledgeable about the program. We believe they will be able
to include BrioWave technology in other proposals further
increasing unit sales. They reach a substantial portion of the
local market, the Coachella Valley is quite large with a population
over 365,000. Additionally, only BrioWave technology can
enhance and improve utility side distribution giving the utility
industry access to demand response tools and real time data that
can be used for predictive business intelligence purposes and
more." According to Thomas
Bianco, the company's C.F.O, "This is a wonderful program
presenting even more opportunity. In my opinion, every homeowner in
the state of California and abroad
for that matter with a pool or central air conditioning system
should own this low cost right now solution because they stand to
reduce energy consumption substantially and save an average of 40%
annually, that helps people right now. BrioWave technology can
pay for itself in as little as one year based on the amount of
savings realized. With approximately 15 million pools across
the U.S, and another 85 million residential homes with a central
air conditioner, there's tremendous sales opportunity at home and
even more in Europe."
About FigTree
Figtree is partnering with public agencies, private companies,
suppliers, contractors and non-profit organizations to help finance
energy efficient products. Their extensive experience with
PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) helped them author a
financing program called California PACE. This popular financing
program is now offered to commercial property owners in
participating cities and counties throughout California. Our
California PACE financing program gives government leaders and
administrators the opportunity to reach their goals to reduce
energy consumption and create jobs. When a commercial property
owner has access to government approved and adopted financing, it
allows them to buy energy efficient products and equipment. Those
purchases stimulate the local economy and create job opportunities
for approved contractors. Our goal is to work in partnership with
government agencies, commercial property owners and approved
contractors. For more information please visit;
