BOULDER, COLORADO, July 21, 2003 - EnergyWindow,^® Inc., a leading supplier of products and services that help business energy buyers save time, money, and reduce risk through energy management and procurement, announced today that it has closed its first round of funding. Altira Group LLC, an early-stage venture capital fund focused on energy technology, provided up to $1 million Series A financing. EnergyWindow will use the money to integrate and accelerate commercialization of their products, strengthen infrastructure, heighten market visibility and build staff.

As the number of deregulated energy markets continues to increase and markets mature, EnergyWindow anticipates strong growth due to rising natural gas prices, growing pressure for businesses to reduce operating expenses, and market demand for simpler, more efficient ways to procure and manage energy supply.

"The timing of the Altira investment is perfect. We have proven our ability to save twenty large companies significant money and time while minimizing risk and missed opportunities," noted Jack Mason, EnergyWindow President. "We can now improve, expand, and gain greater awareness of the value of our products and services among large companies with many facilities and significant energy costs."

Peter Edwards of Altira Group remarked, "The EnergyWindow team has created a solid business in true entrepreneurial fashion. We are thrilled to be investors in the Company and feel this capital will allow them to build the resources they need to support growth in line with current and future market opportunities."
