August 10, 2009 (FinancialWire) — SARS Corp. (OTC: SARO), a Nevada corporation d/b/a FasTech Holdings, Inc., has retained Clayton Shelver as Executive VP/CTO, with the specific responsibility to facilitate the company’s planned expansion of its building energy management and controls services and business.

Shelver is currently ushering FasTech through the process of obtaining certifications with several, worldwide providers of building control systems, and expects to complete the initial certifications within the next several weeks.

Shelver, formerly a CTO of SARS who brings over 20+ years of IT management and systems monitoring experience, will provide FasTech with management and understanding of how to utilize and integrate systems controls, asset information, and information systems for both the company and its customers.

FasTech expects that Shelver’s professional background will enable FasTech, through remote asset monitoring and control, to measurably increase services in energy efficient building management and controls, a field which includes everything from programmable building temperature controls to comprehensive technology that can monitor, measure, and control hundreds of HVAC systems and devices remotely.

Assets are considered “remote” if outside the immediate view of the person responsible for managing them, and are typically appropriate for remote management if they are high-value assets, and/or ones that can need schedule, operating status, environmental conditions status, and notification of “condition change” status.

In addition to providing services on new construction, Shelver and the FasTech team will work with controls products that are “open” software platform — typically based on the industry software standard called BACnet(tm) — and ones that can be configured to use any communications service or hardware. This will allow FasTech to integrate with existing competitive control systems and to market remote monitoring services to already-constructed and operating facilities. These FasTech monitoring services offer building owners and operators a variety of benefits, including reduced operating costs, protection of current system investments and increased equipment life, lowered maintenance costs, rapid problem identification, and improved operating efficiency.

Said Frank Bonadio, FasTech president and CEO: “We’re delighted to have Clayton join our team of systems professionals. His prior monitoring experience with SARS allows us to take advantage of a growing opportunity in building energy management in the MidWest and beyond. We work with a large base of aging buildings, hospitals, schools, etc. — all of which must be maintained or upgraded due to their general condition and to hold back the effect of dramatically rising utility costs. Adding new construction opportunities to that, we see energy management as a natural and profitable extension of our design and construction businesses.”

FasTech recently commenced the process of formerly changing its name from SARS Corp. to FasTech Holdings, Inc.
