Helix Wind Turbine and Monitoring System to Power Groundbreaking "Zero Energy" House, Bellevue, WA

Ribbon Cutting Is Thursday, Oct. 15, 11am
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Helix Wind Corp. (OTCBB: HLXW), a global renewable energy company, is pleased to
be a sponsor of the Zero Energy Idea House (ZEH) project. ZEH is holding its
ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 am PDT on Thursday, October 15, at 840 West Lake
Sammamish Parkway, SE, Bellevue, WA.

The 1,630-square-foot home is a demonstration model that combines energy
generation and conservation building materials, including a roof garden, to
slash monthly energy bills. Helix Wind`s model S322 small wind turbine, a
renewable energy system for residential and other verticals, combined with the
company`s proprietary Wind Turbine Monitoring System (WTMS) are an integral part
of the house`s renewable energy platform.

Scott Weinbrandt, chairman and president of Helix Wind, said, "The Zero Energy
Idea House proves that Americans can live comfortably with renewable energy in a
well-designed house. Helix Wind is pleased with this opportunity to demonstrate
just how well our small wind turbine can perform in powering a residential home.
In addition, our WTMS will be delivering real-time data on the turbine`s
performance to the homeowner`s own computer, showcasing the accountability and
transparency of our small wind systems."

The Helix S322, which sells for $7,500, provides smooth power delivery across a
broad range of wind speeds and under the most difficult of physical
environments. Simple to install, modular and scalable, the S322 is ideally
suited for urban environments and off-grid locations. It is built to endure and
be captivating to the eye.

To cope with the unusual climactic conditions of the Puget Sound Basin, the Zero
Energy Idea House uses both the Helix Wind S322 turbine and extensive solar
panels to provide energy. Architect David Clinkston of Clinkston Brunner, the
firm that designed the house, said "Historically, the Pacific Northwest has much
wind and little sun during the winter months. The ZEH house will enjoy a good
symbiosis between the two renewable energy systems."

Consumer interest in the Zero Energy House has been intense, according to ZEH
builder and homeowner Donna Shirey, president of Shirey Contracting, Inc.
Starting on October 17, local volunteer docents will conduct tours every two
hours, every weekend for the next month, as well as scheduled tours for larger
groups during the week. In addition, 425 Magazine is preparing an article about
the house`s energy saving features for its Jan/Feb 2010 issue.
