ABOUT BLUSUN HOUSING TECHNOLOGIES

BluSun Housing Technologies was a mere thought and concept founded back
in 1998. The company was founded on the belief and principles that housing
is a basic human right and not a luxury reserved for only those who could
afford it. Shortly thereafter we were asked by the attach of Gabon, Africa to
bring a solution for affordable military housing. During this time we had been
exploring panel wall technology as a solution for affordable housing. Our
exploration revealed that the players in the industry made building systems
that were so highly priced that the technology was out of reach for the people
and countries who needed this technology the most.

Thus we started our research and development with the goal of bringing this
technology at unprecedented price and unsurpassed quality. Our quest lead
us to explore panel design from every player in the industry. We did site visits
to a host of industry professionals. We studied building system designs as we
researched we learned about the integrity of the panel structure and general
building structures and their current vulnerabilities. We learned what makes
one panel design better or less structurally sound then another. We learned
about all the positives and negatives and how these affect the structural
integrity of a building structure.

We eventually ventured into China with the goal of reducing the cost of the
building system, increasing production and quality. Year after year led by
multinational engineering team, the building system evolved in production,
quality and structural integrity. We tested and built structures with the most
renowned structural engineering teams and consultants from the ICC assuring
us that the building system and the integrity of the panels were unsurpassed.
We were confident that the panel produced was now the finest in the market-
place and the integrity of the building structures could not be matched in price
and quality. This panel was named the PowerLitePanel (PLP) we proceeded
to market this panel in the Asian marketplace and regions where affordable
housing was devoid. The PLP and family line of products were used in many
developments where affordable housing and reduction of construction was
necessary. The technology was used in single-family homes, multi-level
family homes, hospitals, commercial buildings such as hotels, office buildings
and a variety of infrastructure applications.

The company engaged in many government and non-government projects.
Then came the 2007 financial crisis left many governments and developers
with the inability to pay their debts and constructions projects came to a
screeching halt. Blue Sun Housing was severely impacted by the economic
crisis, political instability and sadly closed its doors.

The founders of the company have regrouped and re-evaluated the path of
the company. Today the company has evolved to BluSun Housing
Technologies a more savvy company with more than 20 years of research and
development and market experience. The company re-evaluated its past
milestones and setbacks and now has reorganized its marketing strategies
and approach to the business of bringing affordable housing technologies to
the marketplace.

Our over arching mission is to bring a new building and construction paradigm
that is in harmony with nature and is focused on safety, efficiency,
sustainability and the preservation of our environment.

Our primary goal is to address the issues surrounding the built environment
with the integration and marketing of affordable, energy-efficient integrated
building solutions for national and international markets that are better, faster,
and cheaper than conventional building materials. In addition our systems and
materials are environmentally friendly.


BUILDING SYSTEM SOLUTION
Powered by BSHT

While we have evolved technologically, the construction of homes continues to use 40% of all
the material resources in the world. In fact, the construction of homes using hammers and nails
produce 3-7 tons of wasted materials for an average home. The current construction
methodology does not take into consideration the energy, labor and impact on the environment.
BSHTs primary purpose is to eliminate the dependencies on our priceless resources. We will
bring a more sustainable construction paradigm focusing on safety, efficiency, intelligent
design, stronger and a more cost and environmentally efficient construction technology.
Current construction methodology is outdated and has the highest level of fatality making it
more dangerous than mining and agriculture.

Current building and construction methodologies are painfully slow and have not proven
effective in times of natural disasters. These outdated methodologies infringe on the recovery
process leaving people and communities displaced and unable to move forward in an efficient
and timely manner to return back to normality. Our technology would get people back into
homes and businesses. With this mindset BluSun Housing Technologies is now presenting to
you, the best-of-breed, best-priced, best-valued building system and building solution leading
the change in the building industry throughout the world.

The panel manufacturing systems are significantly faster, better, more versatile, and less
expensive than any comparable systems and technologies in the same category. The building
system produces the PowerLitePanel (PLP), the PLP is a Structural Concrete Insulated
Panel SCIP which is a commonly used industry phrase and is an abbreviation for Structural
Concrete Insulated Panels.

The Building System operates 40% faster than the closest comparable system with
approximately 30% lower cost of ownership of the master systems. The building systems
conservatively produce 876-2,673 panels per 24 hours compared to 400-625 panels per 24
hours from the closest competitive building systems. Blue Sun Housing Technologies (BSHT)
can provide a turnkey panel building solution to builders, developers, and countries alike. We
also sell and set up JV factories to use our systems to produce local building supplies and
housing kits to areas with a high demand for affordable, energy efficient, disaster safe homes
with the panel building technology powered by BSHT.

The PowerLitePanel (PLP) is cheaper, better, and faster than conventional building
technologies. The end result is a formless monolithic concrete building system with continuous
structural integrity. This is the type of quality construction one would expect only applies to a
custom design. Yet, the building systems simplicity and flexibility in design allows the system
to be applied to almost any building project. Comprised of welded wire panels with a core of
polystyrene insulation we are able to provide a super-strength structure.

PLP construction is truly without exception one of the most proficient methods of construction.
The panel provides resistance to natures terrors and the daily environmental challenges
buildings endure while also providing additional resistances to mold, termites & fungi.
Architectural benefits utilizing panel construction are virtually unlimited from the simplest
international box with roof to a two-story high-end, high design, high function home.

In the worldwide building industry, construction costs, speed, quality, and durability are always
a concern. When used with a plaster gun the building system is cost competitive against
conventional construction processes such as masonry block, wood-framed, poured in place
concrete, and concrete tilt up. While the cost in place is competitive versus conventional
means, the added benefits relate to exceptional total value.

Hurricane and Earthquake Protection: There are many documented instances where
structures built with the BSHT-PLP have survived the severest storms and other natural
disasters.

BSHTPOWERLITEPANEL PRODUCT OVERVIEW
PLP = PowerLitePanel (Structural Concrete Insulated Panel)

The Building System is a tried and proven construction process utilizing three dimensional
space frame / concrete sandwich panel engineering technology. This construction process has
evolved over the past 30 years.

PLP are available in 4'W in any length. They can be adapted to any shape; external and
internal walls, floors, roofs, curves, arches, and cantilevered. The PLP is a prefabricated panel.
This extremely strong structural product consists of a super-insulated core of rigid expanded
polystyrene sandwiched between two-engineered sheets of galvanized steel welded wire fabric
mesh. To complete the panel form process a nine-gauge galvanized steel truss wire is pierced
completely through the polystyrene core at offset angles for superior strength and welded to
each of the outer layer sheets of eleven-gauge steel welded wire fabric mesh. Once these three
elements are joined by PLPs state of the art manufacturing equipment, you end up with a
THREEDIMENSIONAL lightweight panel that is one of the strongest building materials you can
find.

The PLP is a unique and effective way to easily create a strong insulated concrete building or
wall. The PLP is used in every type of concrete structure because of the flexibility of design and
ease of use. Thousands of structure and walls have been built around the world with the PLP.
Many of them use the panel for all elements of the structure including walls, floors, stairs and
trim. PLP related or similar technology is used for affordable housing all the way to multi-million
dollar housing. Residential, commercial, institutional multi-story all can be created easily with
this remarkable internationally used and accepted method.

The strength of the PLP is enormous and is partially attributed to the truss wires, which are
welded to connect each side of mesh to make the panel. The insulation in the center of the
panel is suspended on the truss wires and becomes a continuous thermal break when panels
are connected. The performance of the insulation thus is greater than the R-value rating
because of the thermal-mass effect of the concrete on each side of the panel. The monolithic
structure with PLP panel technology enables it to withstand earthquakes, hurricanes and
typhoons. Many PLP technology buildings have endured hurricanes with no water penetration
or damage, earthquakes with no cracking, and at the same time provided a comfortable and
energy-efficient environment for the residents. In the U. S. today there is a strong movement
towards concrete housing. The PLP is perfect for this market. It provides hard walls and
perfectly placed insulation for maximum efficiency. Stayin-place forms today use polystyrene
as molds for concrete and end up with soft exteriors and exteriors which have to be hardened.
In the process, they lose the thermal mass effect necessary for energy efficiency. Unlike
concrete block, the PLP technology panel provides the insulation and reinforcement strength to
concrete, which makes it acceptable for residential or commercial construction.

Since the introduction of the PowerLitePanel (PLP) for construction of walls, several new uses
have emerged for the panel. The re-evolution in construction technology has started and the
PLP is leading the way in speed, price, and quality.

The construction system is a tried and proven construction process utilizing dimensional
structural concrete insulated sandwich panel engineering technology. This construction process
has evolved over the past 30 years. The core foundation of the system is a welded wire three
dimensional space frame manufactured in variable wire gauges with insulating foam located in
the middle of the panel. The panels are manufactured in four-foot widths and specific lengths
as required for the application. Panel thickness is also variable to accommodate insulation
requirements, load bearing capacities, and architectural design. The wire/foam panels are
installed at the project site to create load bearing walls, floors, and roofs as designed for the
structure, then coated with 1 1/4 -5 of 2000 PSI Portland cement plaster or other materials.
The finished product is a monolithic structure with no cold joints. This can be achieved by using
a plaster gun, hand-troweled application, shotcrete, or gunite, or a variety of environmentally
friendly cemeticious skins.

MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS DETAILS
Manufacturing machinery is compromised of a component-based system where additional
manufacturing units can be added to increase product output as demand requires. The basic
master manufacturing module includes a wire truss machine and two panel assembly machines
with a combined output of 2,623 panels every 24 hours (83,958 sqft x 24 hours or 27,986 sqft x
8 hour shift) Additional equipment can include a foam line for polyurethane (wet foam
application) and /or hot wire cutting equipment for polystyrene (dry foam application). BSH and
our partners will continue Research & Development to provide the most technologically
advanced panel machinery for optimum panel applications.

This type of construction originated on the light end of the scale using 14-gauge wire in 1and
2 thick panels. It is most often used internationally as a 2 EPS core with 1.5 cement on both
sides and then colored is often applied as a finish coat. With an internal EPS core of 4 you get
an R-value of 19. The building systems can produce panels up to 6 in thickness for a
projected R-value of 40 and up to 20 in length.

1. Light Weight Thermal Structural Panel consists of a strong three-dimensional steel wire
frame encapsulating an insulation core of expanded polystyrene. Specially designed
equipment to manufacture this type of panels, the panels are assembled on-site and
then cement plaster is applied to create a finished wall.

Panel Core Options

EI-PLP technology is capable of utilizing many different core materials specifically tailored to
the end use of the product. For instance, exterior walls of homes may use insulating
polyurethane foam in the core of the panel, while interior walls would use low-density foam or
other optional void core.

Typical panel core include:

High Insulation wet foam urethane (R value = 6.8/inch)
Medium insulation closed cell styrene (R value = 4/inch)
Low insulation / void EPS or low density urethane
Additional economical void cores
Zero toxicity

High Wind Areas and Hurricanes:

Products made with PowerLitePanel (PLP) technology has continuously excelled in rigorous
tests given by Mother Nature. For the last ten years, numerous homes have been constructed
with the PLP technology on the East Coast, Caribbean and Gulf areas of Mexico and the
United States. The homes were built to withstand hurricane force winds. In Laboratory testing,
the EI-PLP technology has been tested and will withstand wind loads of 226 miles per hour.
Laboratory testing results available upon request. In the southwestern area of the United
States, a two-story research complex made with comparable BSHT-PLP technology was jointly
funded by the National Science Foundation, Southern California Edison, Inc., and the
University of California withstood California's worst earthquake in forty years was struck twice a
(6.5) and (6.9) Richter Scale. According to Dr. Philippe Cohen who resides at the site in the
Mojave Desert, the area at one point was subjected to a continuous shake lasting over a full
minute. The structure went through the quakes with zero structural effects.

Complete (Earthquake) structural testing report from certified engineering firm available on
above upon request.

Fire Resistant

Fire Resistant BSHT-PLP technology is an ideal building product for structures in dry adverse
climates where fire is always a constant threat. Areas which are heavily forested, high grass
and brush, and other areas in Southern California during Santa Ana Wind Conditions, and other
similar areas where structures may be prone to fires. We have had numerous fires in Southern
California during Santa Ana Wind Conditions. A structure built with BSHT-PLP technology is
noncombustible and has a minimum 1.5-hour fire rating and a higher rating can easily be
attained. Structures built with BSHT-PLP technology are virtually fire resistant.

What is the fire rating of BSHT-PLP technology?

BSHT-PLP technology has the following fire-resistance ratings, (Ratings are valid for fire
exposure from either side) Fire-rating is derived from the wire mesh gauge in combination with
concrete thickness. See chart below. The insulation core Type I polystyrene foam
demonstrated a flame-spread index of 25 or less and a smoke developed rating of 450 or less
when tested in accordance with ASTM - E84.The modified polystyrene core does not contain
ozone-damaging chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) in the manufacturing process or products.

2.5" EXP-Core with 1.50" Shotcrete each side = 1.5 Hours
2.5" EXP-Core with 2.00" Shotcrete each side = 2.0 Hours
2.5" EXP-Core with 3.1/8" Shotcrete each side = 4.0 Hours

The fire rating increases with greater quantities of cement applied to each side.
Polystyrene core will not burn.

What are the Load Bearing Capabilities of BSHT-PLP technology?

The load bearing weights that a typical BSHT-PLP Panel wall will support is amazing. The
typical wood frame and metal frame wall cannot compare to EIPLP technology Panel strength.
A typical BSHT-PLP technology Panel with 2.5" polystyrene core using eleven-gauge wire, 8' in
height has been tested at a structural load of over 78,000lbs.

What is the wind load capacity of BSHT-PLP technology?

The brief synopsis, which follows, is from the test results report dated 1994 from
Dade County, Miami Florida pertaining to the wind load capacity of a product with comparable
EI-PLP technology. Three typical EI-PLP technology panels 4' wide and 10' high with 1 1/2" of
shotcrete on each face were installed vertically, side-by-side, on a concrete slab, several
inches in front of a rigid backup wall with space between the panels and the backup wall. The
panels were tested per static-wind load test (PA202-94 manner of testing). Summary: The
specimens tested herein were fully tested in accordance with the Dade County Building Code
Compliance Office Protocols PA 201-94,PA 202-94 and PA 203-94. No failures occurred to the
specimens, nor their fastenings, nor anchorage. The products described in this report comply
with SFBC Sections 2309 and 2315. The panels tested at 126 lbs per Sq. Ft. pressure, which
represents over 225mph-wind factor.

Energy Savings:
Save 50% to 80% of heating and cooling costs. Electrical and plumbing is though the interior
side of the PLP-panel, so there are fewer wall penetrations, which keeps thermal loss at a
minimum. Reduces size and cost of HVAC System.


How are Various Shotcrete or Cements Applied to the BSHT-PLP
panels?

The shotcrete or greencrete or environmentally friendly concrete product is applied by machine
application on both sides of the panel. This part of the process is very specialized.

We recommend a licensed Gunnite or Stucco Contractor or a combination of both Contractors
for this part of the operation depending upon the desired finish. For architects with a special
finish in mind we would like to mention that the architectural molds or metal trim could be
incorporated into your design to achieve the desired finish.

The versatility of numerous types of plaster finishes or stucco finishes will work on interior
and/or exterior walls. Other products that may be applied are:

Brick Mini-Brick
Stone Stone Facing
Tile

In developing countries with lower technology available -masonry laborers and less skilled
laborers can erect and finish the concrete skin of the structures with traditionally applied
techniques.

Is the Polystyrene Waterproof? Is the Foam Waterproof?
The polystyrene and the foam are one in the same. The polystyrene core is water-resistant.
The ASTM test proved maximum water absorption or 2.5 % for 1lb density. E.P.S. is an inert,
organic material. Polystyrene provides no nutritive value to plants, animals, or microorganisms.
The polystyrene will not rot and is highly resistant to mildew. Aging has no effect upon the
performance of the polystyrene E.P.S. is able to withstand the abuse of temperature cycling
180 degrees assuring long term performance. It is also termite proof.
