Laudash Ghana Limited has introduced a new solar-powered home-cooling technology known as the Solar-Powered Roof Exhaust Vent onto the local market. The technology requires creation of an 18-inch diameter hole in the ceiling of a building and subsequent installation of the cooling solar technology on the roof. The Chief Executive Officer, Laudash Ghana Limited, Emmanuel Ashong, said �proper roof ventilation systems allow a continuous flow of outside air through the roof and helps lower temperatures in the living space.� The technology will also help remove excessive heat and moisture to protect roofs from premature deterioration. One unit of the solar powered cooling panel will typically suffice for a 1,000 square foot or below house. �The technology has a maximum lifespan of 10 years. Comparatively, the technology will help consumers save cost on the use of air-conditioners and electric fans in their homes. The cost of the product plus installation is between US$450-US$625,� Mr. Ashong said. Laudash Ghana Limited and its USA-based subsidiary, The Wood Technologist Inc., are trained and certified to handle green energy needs and help lower utility costs.
