Ductz Franchise Supports Epa Healthy-home Initiative

(Friday, September 19, 2008) - Four federal agencies recently
convened in Baltimore, Maryland, to host the first national summit devoted
to the healthy-home initiative.

"The healthy-home initiative has been growing for some time, but now the
government is bringing together environmentalists, health advocates and
builders to promote the construction and maintenance of healthier homes
free of lead, chemicals, mold and moisture," said John Rotche, president
of DUCTZ International, LLC, a Belfor company. "The Environmental
Protection Agency ranks indoor air pollution among the top five
environmental risks to public health. As a result of this meeting in
Baltimore, improving indoor air quality is reaching more people at higher
levels of our government."

The Environmental Protection Agency is developing a program—the Indoor Air
Package—that when launched nationally next year will give homes a "seal of
approval," if certain building techniques are used to protect against
indoor air pollutants.

"We see the Indoor Air Package as a beneficial public-private partnership
that among other things will educate and motivate consumers to have their
HVAC system inspected and cleaned on a more regular basis," said Rotche.
"This is good for home owners, for business owners serving this growing
market need, and for our franchise owners across the country.
