Breaking New Ground: Project FROG Embarks on First Energy-Neutral Solution in New England

Connecticut`s Watkinson School to Demonstrate Possibilities for Smart, Green
Classrooms of the Future, Today

SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
Project FROG (www.projectfrog.com), leading manufacturer of smart building
systems, will break ground on a new energy-neutral Center for Science and Global
Citizenship at the Watkinson School in Hartford, Conn, on May 27. The building
will be the first of its kind in New England, and marks the company`s first
zero-net energy solution built in a cold climate.

John Bracker, Watkinson`s head of school, announced, "The Center for Science and
Global Citizenship represents an important step in our efforts to challenge the
traditional orthodoxy of how a building comes together, the role it can play in
teaching about sustainability and the curriculum material at hand. Just imagine
what`s possible when a building is as smart and dynamic as the students and
faculty who live in it."

The Watkinson project demonstrates the possibilities for energy-efficient,
technologically enhanced classrooms of the future, today. Incorporating the
ideal learning environment into the greenest, most sustainable commercial
building solution available, the 4,000 square foot state-of-the-art science
center will feature 75 percent energy-demand reduction, abundant natural light
and glare control, superior air quality, fungible user technology, microclimate
customization and advanced climate controls in an easy to configure package.
Constructed of mainly of recyclable materials, the Center will generate more
energy within its footprint than is required to operate its systems. To support
the linked but diverse curricula, the three Center for Science and Global
Citizenship classrooms will be adaptable to lecture, seminars, and lab-style
instruction.

Every aspect of this new Center for Science and Global Citizenship will be a
teaching tool. With design features that include a living roof, photovoltaic
panels, and advanced sensors, the Center will provide extraordinary teaching and
learning opportunities for members of Watkinson`s community, and establish a new
criterion for smart, environmentally responsible learning environments.

"Watkinson`s vision and commitment to sustainability is inspiring," said Mark
Miller, AIA, LEED AP, Founder and CEO of Project FROG. "We`re very excited that
New England`s first Project FROG solution is for such a prescient and dynamic
academic partner. Having tackled energy performance in a range of tropical and
western US climates, we are pleased to demonstrate Project FROG`s versatility
and performance in the cold and snow as well as the heat and humidity of this
region."
