Thermal Energy International Inc. ("Thermal Energy" or the "Company") (TSXV: TMG), a global provider of proprietary energy efficiency solutions to the industrial, commercial and institutional sectors world-wide, today announced that it has received an order valued at approximately $910 thousand from a major hospital group for the installation of one of the Company's proprietary FLU-ACE(R) heat recovery systems. The order is expected to be fulfilled and revenue earned over the next six months.

"We have a proven track record of helping hospitals save money by reducing their fuel bills while also lowering their greenhouse gas emissions," said William Crossland, CEO of Thermal Energy. "This is our third significant hospital order in the past month, for a combined total of $3.4 million. For this particular hospital, we were able to help them obtain attractive utility incentive funding, which will improve their return on investment. This hospital is significant to us as it is part of a larger healthcare organization that includes a number of hospitals and healthcare facilities. As such, it fits in well with our strategy of pursuing larger, multi-site customers that we can cross-sell to and develop into corporate accounts."

The FLU-ACE(R) heat recovery system to be installed at this site is expected to provide the hospital a 4.4 year payback of its investment, with continued savings throughout the unit's more than 20 year operational life expectancy.
