Press Release Summary = The National Portable Storage Association is helping
organizations fight off record-setting heat waves with innovative solutions that
keep people and products cool.

Press Release Body = KANSAS CITY, MO. (August 15, 2007) - With a heat wave bringing
triple-digit temperatures from the plains through the Southeast, air conditioning is
hardly a luxury. It\'s a necessity, as unbearable climates land scores of people in
the emergency room with heat exhaustion and heat strokes. Portable storage vendors
are ready with climate-controlled, AKA, air-conditioned units.

\"Portable storage isn\'t just hot metal boxes anymore. Today\'s technology makes room
for powerful air conditioning units to keep the contents of the unit cool, whether
those contents are people or perishable items,\" said John Finnessy, CMP, Executive
Director the National Portable Storage Association, or NPSA, a nonprofit membership
association dedicated to the advancement of the portable storage industry.

A construction site, for example, could make good use of air conditioned portable
storage units as break rooms that let the crew cool off in the hottest parts of the
day. Air conditioned portable storage, by likewise, could be used to store
temperature-sensitive products, collectibles, pharmaceuticals or other goods. The
food industry is a prime candidate, with perishable items that require on-site cold
storage to keep food fresh and readily available during peak seasons.

More than just a portable air conditioner, a portable storage unit modified to
include an air conditioner can also serve as a makeshift office, portable classroom,
temporary living facility during hurricanes that displace families, trailers for
film sets, and any other application that demands a cool environment. Combined with
an interior fit that includes carpet, shelving, and lights, portable storage units
can be quickly transformed from a steel box to a livable environment.

\"Portable storage containers can serve as a comfortable and affordable way to keep
people and products cool even in record heat waves,\" said NPSA Operations Manager
Joel Rathbone. \"You can purchase portable storage containers, or simply lease them
for special needs or peak seasons. These units truly do offer the ultimate
flexibility.\"
