Installing Axis Ballasts
Axis
Technology, Inc. (OTCPK: AXTG) is pleased to announce
The Department of Homeland Security Facilityin Omaha, NE
recently earned Gold Certification in the LEED New
ConstructionCategory (LEED-NC) . The facility was equipped
with 300 Axis Dimming/DaylightHarvesting (DDH) ballasts with
the goal of achieving the energy efficiency
requirements necessary to obtain LEED-NCcertification. This
installation of Axis products combine with other
Greenapplications aided this facility in becoming LEED-NC Gold
Certified.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 and
ExecutiveOrder 13124 requires Federal buildings to reduce
their energy use by 35 percentby 2010 (compared to 1985).
The Department of
HomelandSecurity facility is one of eight Federal buildings to
have already receivedLEED Certification. In addition,
it is estimated that more than 60 Federalbuildings are also
vying to obtain this certification.
"We believe this governmentact that
encourages Green buildings and initiatives to be an extremely
positivedevelopment for our company" said Kip Hirschbach, CEO
of Axis Technologies. "The Axis DDH Ballast
is an obvious component forthose facilities that want to lower
energy consumption and become moreenvironmentally friendly."

About Leadership in Energy &
Environmental Design
The Leadership in Energy&
Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rate System is a
nationallyaccepted benchmark for the design, construction and
operation of highperformance green buildings. LEED promotes a
whole-building approach byrecognizing five key areas of human
and environmental health. The system focuseson sustainable
site development, water savings, energy efficiency,
materialsselection and indoor environmental qualities. The
LEED Rating System wascreated to transform the built
environment to sustainability by providing thebuilding
industry with consistent, credible standards for what
constitutes agreen building. Eligibility requirements include
and extensive site plan reviewand specific site audit. More

About the Axis DDH
Ballast
A "ballast" is anelectronic
component that regulates voltage in fluorescent lighting.
AxisTechnologies Group, Inc. has developed an innovative
new ballast with theaim of expanding daylight
harvesting into mainstream fluorescent
lightingapplications. The patented Axis Dimming/Daylight
Harvesting Ballast is a newtechnology that transforms the
ballast, a once standard lighting industrystaple, into a
dynamic energy saving system that can reduce lighting
energycosts by up to 70%. The Axis DDH Ballast utilizes an
individual photo sensor toautomatically adjust the amount of
electrical current flowing to the lightfixture, and then
dims or increases lighting in conjunction with theamount of
available sunlight that may be harvested from available
windows andsunlight. The Axis DDH Ballast
avoids "over-lit" conditionsthat increase energy
costs by keeping
lighting"tuned" to the desired level ina designated
area.
