To Whom It May Concern:

RE: Ultra CSV Crawl Space Vent

My name is Bruce Rendon. I am a licensed contractor in Northern Michigan, building new homes and light commercial projects since 1978. I am actively involved in the building industry here in Michigan, having served as President of the Michigan Association of Home Builders and President of the Northwest Michigan Home Builder’s Association. I am a National Director of the National Association of Home Builders and a Life Director of the Michigan Association of Home Builders. Building is my lifeblood, and I am passionate about the quality of the projects that my company completes.

The building industry has been focusing more and more on energy efficiency and the issues of good ventilation. However, one obvious area that affects ventilation seemed to have been overlooked: the area of crawl space ventilation. Two years ago, I met Richard Betz during a political campaign, and was introduced to a solution for crawl space ventilation. I believe that the Ultra CSV Crawl Space Vent is the answer to the efficient ventilation of crawl spaces, both existing and new.

I have installed these vents in both new and existing structures. I have found them to be relatively easy to install. They stand up in a very sound manner against air infiltration in the heating season and provide twice as much ventilation as a standard vent in the ventilation season. The Ultra CSV Crawl Space Vent makes it very easy for the homeowner to change the panel according to the season. The unit itself is very durable and attractive looking. After seeing some of the CSV vents installed on some of my projects, I was sought out by my mason contractors and insulating contractors to divulge the source of these vents. Several of them are now using the vents as well.

The area of crawl spaces is an area that is often overlooked in the issues of energy efficiency. Yet, all consumers are looking to reduce energy costs and improve air quality in the home. This air-tight vent is a solution that will save the consumer money from his annual heating and cooling bills, while providing better air quality. The ease of use, installation and quality of the Ultra CSV Crawl Space Vents is a natural for do it yourself consumers as well as contractors.

I urge you to take a look at the Ultra CSV Crawl Space Vent. I heartily believe in the product and its potential.

Sincerely,

Bruce Rendon
