San Francisco, CA, September 1, 2010 — Building Protection Systems, Inc. (BPSI) announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued a second 20-Year Patent (BUILDING PROTECTION AND METHOD) further protecting their Building Sentry One toxin detection system technology. BPSI has perfected the first complete building protection system proven to operate with zero false alarms for over 110,000 hours to date, an unheard-of feat in the industry. The Sentry One family of products has received full SAFETY Act designation from the Department of Homeland Security for protecting buildings, critical infrastructure and public gathering places from the known vulnerability of an airborne chemical or radiological targeted terrorist attack or accidental release.

The Building Sentry One is deployed at several Fortune 100 corporate world headquarters buildings in the New York market and is gaining favorable attention in other key markets in the US, Middle East, Great Britain and Asia. “Thought-leading companies and agencies are beginning to execute on the challenge of protecting their people, critical infrastructure, and assets from the identified CBRN threat and vulnerability,” says BPSI President Greg Eiler. “We are continuing to adapt the Sentry One solution to more high-value venues using our advanced next-generation detection technology. The system not only saves lives, but benefits decision-makers by limiting their liability and providing a new standard for security,safety, and asset protection.”

Experts at CDC, NIOSH, DHS, and NYPD have identified air ventilation systems as extraordinarily vulnerable to a toxic air release. BPSI’s Building Sentry One (and the Metro Sentry One for public gathering spaces; Alpha Sentry One for schools and smaller buildings) is the first complete SAFETY Act designated Qualified Anti-Terrorist Technology (QATT) system that incorporates proven sensor technology with proprietary firmware and software to detect and identify a toxic attack via the air ventilation system within seconds with zero false alarms. Immediately following detection, the Sentry One communicates with the existing equipment controls to shut down the building air ventilation system to mitigate the spread and isolate the dangerous toxins. Critically, in parallel with the shut-down, the Sentry One^TMinforms BPSI’s Remote Monitoring Center with real-time release data. The Remote Monitoring Center responds to predetermined protocols including instant notification and continued real-time reporting to first responders expediting a safe rescue and recovery.
