Limbach Energy Solutions Embraces Demand for Energy Efficiency, Expands Into
Eight New Markets

Limbach targets Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
Orlando, Tampa and Washington D.C. as hot markets for growth

PITTSBURGH, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- A long-time player in the U.S. building
industry is shaking up the energy services market.

Limbach Facility Services, one of the United States leading specialty
contractors, announced today that it is expanding its energy services
portfolio designed to help building owners lower energy costs and cut
greenhouse gas emissions through improved energy efficiency. The
Pittsburgh-based company, which has specialized in mechanical contracting for
more than a century, will offer its suite of building retrofit services to
building owners in eight new markets including Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles,
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Orlando, Tampa and Washington D.C.

For the last 16 years, Limbach Energy Solutions has provided energy retrofit
services to schools, hospitals and government buildings in Ohio. New
government incentives and the prospect of rising energy costs, meanwhile, are
prompting building owners across the country to update mechanical and
electrical systems to generate substantial long-term cost savings.

"Limbach is a company steeped in tradition. We've survived a depression, more
recessions than I can count, two World Wars and being acquired by Enron. We've
succeeded this long because we're not afraid to embrace changes that benefit
our customers, our employees and our bottom-line," said Charlie Bacon, CEO,
Limbach.

Limbach's roots as a specialty mechanical contractor and building service
partner provide the company a unique perspective in the energy solutions
market. By leveraging its entire portfolio of mechanical contracting services
from building design to construction and all the way through building
maintenance, Limbach provides a single source of accountability for building
retrofits.

Qualified building owners are given a comprehensive energy audit and then
provided a variety of options ranging from performance contracts to retrofit
options, building re-commissioning, and operational improvement
recommendations. The audit examines several options, including utility
procurement, building envelope improvements, lighting system upgrades, HVAC
equipment replacements and service, automatic temperature controls and
building management systems, water conservation, and any other areas where
owners spend money to operate their buildings. Building enhancements are ideal
for hospitals, K-12 and higher education schools, and federal, state and
municipal government buildings, as well as owner-occupied commercial and
industrial buildings.

"We're not just a project financier, equipment provider or general
contractor," said David Leathers, senior vice president, Building Service and
Energy Solutions, Limbach. "We're the single-source for the entire project.
That reduces the number of touch points and layers of accountability and
ensures that we deliver stellar results. Because we self perform, we control
the project schedule and project quality. And because we're vendor neutral,
each individual customer can be assured we're providing the best solution
possible."

Limbach was founded in 1901 as a provider of mechanical and sheet metal
services to clients in Pittsburgh. Today, Limbach Facility Services is a $350
million national mechanical contractor. Limbach Energy Solutions is active in
24 major markets through hub offices located in Boston, Columbus, Detroit, Los
Angeles, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Tampa and Washington D.C.

In recent years, the company has contributed its energy-saving expertise to
Ohio facilities such as Marion General Hospital, Worthington Schools, the
Chillicothe Correctional Institution, and National Defense University in
Washington D.C.
