Geoexchange Technology Provider - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (ESIV) - Announces the Appointment of Mr. Stephen Clevett to the ESIV Board

Geoexchange Technology Provider - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (ESIV) - Announces the Appointment of Mr. Stephen Clevett to the ESIV Board of Directors

BELLINGHAM, Wash., May 5, 2008 - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (OTCBB: ESIV; FRANKFURT: E6S) is pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Clevett, President & CEO of Optimira Energy Canada, Ltd. ("Optimira"), has officially joined the ESIV Board of Directors.

"With the inclusion of Mr. Stephen Clevett to the ESIV Board of Directors, we continue to make great strides towards our goal of attracting to the Company external skills and guidance from individuals with powerful credentials and proven industry prowess in their particular or chosen fields of expertise. Mr. Clevett has extensive background in the financing, structuring and operation requisites that apply to traditional conventional ESCO projects. He now brings this skill set to ESIV and gives our Company the benefit of an inherent advantage when we enter into negotiations and ultimately look to facilitate Geoexchange ESCO projects. Mr. Clevett's direct ESCO experience combined with his business and finance background, makes him a wonderful complement to the last Board addition we had made in latter 2006, of Mr. Salvador Diaz-Verson, the former President/CIO of AFLAC and founder of Miramar Securities a registered broker/dealer in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Diaz-Verson had initially brought to the ESIV Board of Directors a history of truly top-level world-class finance and capital market knowledge, and with the formal addition of Mr. Clevett now complete we are nearing our final objective of having a totally independent, superlative Board membership that can help our management team to enhance and bring further credibility to our current and future business. Mr. Clevett joining our team is representative of our successful pursuit of specific endeavors that will help to enhance our Board and ultimately that will help us to flourish and to achieve our long-term growth plan for the Company," commented Jason McDiarmid, President/CEO of ESIV.

Said Stephen Clevett with regards to his addition, "Jason McDiarmid and his team have done an incredible job in positioning ESIV for growth. I have been particularly impressed with the company's unique "one-stop shop" approach, as an ideal methodology for geoexchange technology application that will help to ensure successful, trouble free performance for ESCO project opportunities that exist for ESIV as this 'line of attack' clearly reduces technological uncertainty and concerns over geoexchange system design and performance. Geoexchange technology is proven through 20 plus years of successful implementation and is well documented as exhibiting the lowest greenhouse gas emissions of all "green" technologies available today. I am especially looking forward to working with and learning from the great board members who have guided this leading-edge company's inspiring resurgence and to being involved with assisting management in furthering the company's development of what the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy recognize as the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost effective technology for space conditioning available today."

Mr. Stephen Clevett is an entrepreneurial leader with diverse financial, managerial and operational expertise. During his career as a high-level executive with a multitude of energy based companies and financial institutions he has led multi-disciplinary teams on complex infrastructure development, construction, start-up, operations, and asset and risk management in firms ranging from $5MM - $420MM in annual revenues, while having been involved in the direct management of nearly $2 billion of structured asset-backed financings during the course of his career. He has an MBA from the Rutgers Graduate School of Management and he additionally possesses a Bachelor of Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology.

Essential Innovations Technology Corp. provides cutting-edge Geoexchange solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications as both a manufacturer of proprietary geothermal heat pump technology and as a Geoexchange energy service company. The Company was incorporated in April 2001, and it has four wholly owned subsidiaries located in British Columbia, Canada and in Hong Kong, SAR, China.

Geoexchange technology harnesses the earth's clean, renewable thermal energy stored just below the surface or in large bodies of water for purposes of heating, cooling, domestic hot water and/or dehumidification. A Geoexchange system is used to "exchange" the earth's natural heating and cooling properties between a building and the ground. This non-combustion transfer of energy is the source of performance and environmental superiority, as Geoexchange systems need only a small amount of electrical energy to then capture, move and concentrate a large amount of free energy provided by the earth.
