FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WBR: Chelsea Group, Honeywell Focus on Mold, IAQ Solutions

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, Nov. 5 -/E-Wire/-- World Business Review (WBR), a television series hosted by former Secretary of State Alexander Haig, has released a segment on indoor air quality (IAQ) as part of its "Technology & the Environment" series. The segment focuses on the growing concern about IAQ in general and "toxic mold" in particular, and features Chelsea Group, Ltd. and Honeywell addressing both the nature of the problem and the solutions available for commercial and residential buildings. The series begins airing this week on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), major networks, and various cable outlets, and can be accessed on the Internet on Yahoo! (broadcast.yahoo.com).

"Today, commercial buildings and homes are built tighter than ever for energy efficiency, but this traps pollutants and moisture inside, which provides ideal conditions for mold growth. The key to preventing mold growth is to control moisture in the indoor environment and changing the way we build and operate buildings. In addition, new technologies are needed that will eliminate the danger from "toxic mold" where it exists and prevent mold growth at its source," said George Benda, chairman and CEO of the Chelsea Group during an interview for the WBR series.

The segment also highlights the collaboration of Chelsea Group and Honeywell on IAQ. "Using market data and insights from Chelsea Group, I have led the redesign of Honeywell products to respond to our customers' increasing demands for improved IAQ," said Mark Winston, vice president, Indoor Air Quality, for Honeywell, who also was interviewed for the program. Among

Honeywell products that address indoor air quality include a full line of ceiling-mount and stand-alone air cleaners, featuring Enviracaire Eliteâ¢, a whole-house air-quality system, that destroys airborne germs with ultraviolet technology, traps airborne particles with high performance air filtration, and moisturizes parched air with a humidifier, he said. It also features the industry's first system performance indicator, called Airwatchâ¢, which reminds homeowners when to service their system to ensure maximum performance, he added.

Honeywell is a $25-billion diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; power generation systems; specialty chemicals; fibers; plastics; and electronic and advanced materials. Additional information on the company is available on the Internet at www.honeywell.com.

Chelsea Group, headquartered near Chicago in Itasca, Ill., specializes in strategic, technical and marketing consulting to major corporations for enhanced positioning of products and services relating to the indoor environment.
