Sabo/Limbach:
Saves School from Rising Energy Costs
Currently, many public school districts throughout the nation are experiencing a budgetary
crisis as they struggle to meet the demands of rising energy costs. Such was the case
for one high school in the Beavercreek City School District, near Dayton, Ohio. In 2006, it
was found that energy usage at Beavercreek High School amounted to more than half of
the entire District’s total utility bill. Obviously, the school’s disproportionably high energy
expenditure was indicating a major deficiency in their system. Beavercreek contacted
Sabo/Limbach Energy Services to perform a detailed energy audit in an effort to isolate the
potential problem areas.
In the late 1990’s, the high school performed extensive expansion renovations in order to
accommodate a tide of ever increasing enrollment. Additional boilers were then required to
facilitate the heating needs of the new space. A central plant was developed by connecting
the existing boiler room with a newly constructed second. After the renovations however,
an unanticipated and dramatic escalation in the utility bills signified evidence of a critical
design flaw.
Through a thorough inspection of the buildings energy consumption, Sabo/Limbach

concluded that the boiler piping system lacked a return loop that would allow the reuse of
existing cold or warm water. Thus, energy was constantly wasted as the boilers worked
well beyond the heating demand. Additionally, control sequences and airflows in the new
portion of the building were not suited for the actual daily occupancy. Sabo/Limbach
proposed a $240,000 project to initially reconstruct the faulty boiler room piping, allowing
pre-heated water to be reused and eliminating excess heat delivered to the building.
Secondly, the building control system would be optimized to operate HVAC equipment
consistent with specific occupancy and airflow needs. The projected electric and natural
gas savings were $45,000 annually. Fortunately, the savings have already well exceeded
expectations.
In the five months since the project’s completion, Beavercreek has saved $17,000 in
electric costs and $54,000 in gas costs, equating to a total 5-month savings of $71,000.
Beavercreek is estimated to recoup their investment in a little more than two years. As
Gary Sattler, the district’s Director of Business Services, said, “The cool thing about it is
once the savings occurs, it happens for ever.” With this success in mind, Beavercreek is
continuing to partner with Sabo/Limbach to seek out more energy-efficiency improvements
throughout the district.

High Performance Buildings:
Environmentally Conscience Solutions Equate to Cost Savings
According to the National Science and Technology Council, Commercial buildings consume
approximately one-third of the world’s energy. In the US, buildings account for more than
40% of the total US energy consumption. If current trends continue, buildings will be the
largest consumer of global energy by 2025. As the majority of building energy use is related
to HVAC and lighting, the rising cost of energy will translate to an ever increasing cost in
facility operation. Luckily, new equipment and technologies are providing cost effective ways
for building owners to conserve energy.
For the past 10 years now, Limbach’s Engineering & Design Service (LEDS) has been
developing and implementing innovative solutions to help its customers realize a reduction
in energy usage, operational expense, water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions. By
performing an Energy Performance Analysis, Limbach is able to audit a buildings overall
utility consumption and devise a proper energy management strategy. This audit enables
Limbach to present the best path to take for minimizing a systems energy output, while
outlining the expected payback period for each energy-saving procedure.
As environmental concerns are shaping the future of construction, the challenge lies in
getting building owners to see the connection between energy reducing techniques and
economic return. With Limbach’s approach, clients’ can fully visualize how the installation
of energy-efficient equipment and building materials will affect long-term utility costs.
Customers can now demonstrate environmental responsibility while also receiving the
greatest return on their investment.

Four More Senior-Level Limbach Employees Graduate from ALI
Last November, four senior level Limbach employees attended MCAA’s highly-acclaimed Advanced Leadership
Institute (ALI) Course at the Babson College Executive Education Center. The course is catered to the mechanical
contracting and service industry and is designed to teach top-level executives the art of leading profitable
companies. Limbach has been sending four employees annually and this year the chosen included Jay Sharp,
Dennis Sacco, Jr., Tim Ward, and Michael Balistreri.
Over an intensive ten-day period, participants were instructed on a series of issues pertaining to business leadership
and entrepreneurial strategies. Featured topics encompassed business finance, change management, opportunity
identification, managing risk, as well as communication and negotiation skills. Attendees consisted of leadership
representatives for several North American companies in the industry, providing for excellent future networking
opportunities. “I truly enjoyed the Babson experience,” says Jay Sharp, Branch Manager at Columbus Limbach. “Not
only did I learn a great deal about business, I also made some great friends from companies across the country.”
In this dynamic and ever changing marketplace, a company depends on the people in charge becoming proficient
with such skill sets. As Graduates of the ALI, these Limbach employees will be further equipped with the necessary
talents to continue Limbach’s growth and success.

Architecture 2030: Adopting the Challenge
During 2002, in response to the global-warming crisis and other environmental
dilemmas, 30-year veteran architect Edward Mazria, founded the non-profit
research organization, Architecture 2030. Completely non-partisan and
independent, Mazria declares that Architecture 2030’s mission is to “achieve a
dramatic reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the Building Sector
by changing the way buildings and developments are planned, designed and
constructed.” The challenge lies in developing an approach that simultaneously
reduces CO2 emissions while also proving advantageous to economic
concerns. But for Architecture 2030, the Cost/Benefit analysis is simple.
According to the US Energy Information

Administration (EIA), buildings are identified
as being responsible for 48% of US
energy consumption and GHG emissions.
Residential, commercial and industrial
building operations consume 76% of total
US electricity generation. Coal-fired power
plants, which produce 81% of the sector’s
CO2 emissions, are the major source of this
energy. Architecture 2030 proposes that investments in energy efficient building
and renovation methods will initiate the cumulative effects of reducing energy
consumption, saving consumers in energy bills, and creating permanent new
jobs. This money invested and saved will cycle through the economy several
times over, providing the U.S. with a much needed stimulus.
Efforts to incite both the building industry and nation towards energy efficient
practices culminated in January of 2006, when Architecture 2030 officially
issued the 2030 Challenge. Essentially, the Challenge offers the construction
industry a strategic timeline for implementing energy reducing designs
that would produce 100% carbon neutral buildings by the year 2030. The
effectiveness of the challenge so far, lies in obtainable initiatives that can be
executed immediately through existing building codes.
As HVAC design characteristics have the largest impact on the amount of

energy a building requires, it is companies like Limbach that are most sought
after to adopt the Challenge. With the launching of the Focus on Green
Committee in 2007, Limbach already exemplifies an eco-conscience company.
We are working with clients to develop innovative energy saving solutions that
are simultaneously ecologically and economically beneficial. By partnering
with the already sizable base of companies and governments participating
in the 2030 Challenge, Limbach can further highlight its commitment to
environmentally mindful building practices.

Boston Limbach Works on World-Renowned, W Hotel & Residences Project
On Tuesday, October 14, 2008, the final piece of steel
was raised into place at the W Hotel and Residences
- one of Limbach Boston’s current high-profile projects.
Known as a “topping off ceremony,” the event signifies
the completion of the development’s steel frame, while
recognizing the hard work of the construction trades
men. Heralded for “bringing a new sense of vibrancy to
Boston’s Theater district,” by the city’s Mayor, Limbach is
proud to be part of such an historic venture.
The W Boston is a $130 million, 425,000 square foot,

26 floored, mixed use project, located at 100 Stuart
Street in the heart of Midtown. Representing the height
of modern luxury and innovative design, the property is
set to feature 235 lavishly appointed guest rooms, 123
private residences, 15,000 square feet of commercial

Limbach Pittsburgh Safety Notes
Limbach Pittsburgh has taken their safety program a step further by appointing a full time
safety manager, Jim Blose. Jim can devote a lot of his attention to the IIF culture while working
Incident & Injury Free with the safety committee to implement safety procedures, plans, and rewards. Some of the
accomplishments Limbach Pittsburgh has achieved in the past quarter are as follows:
• Completing a 30 hour OSHA course with 17 of our leading foremen and project
managers.
• Updating emergency contact files and handing out emergency contact information
stickers to be pasted inside each employee’s hat; including name, emergency contact
person and known allergies.
• Improving employee’s visibility on our job sites. Weld coats have been changed to
Hi-Visibility orange and each field employee received Hi-Visibility tee shirts with the
Limbach logo on the back.
• Reviewing and restructuring the safety orientation program so that new employees
have a better understanding of their role and responsibilities in our IIF culture as well as
Limbach’s commitment to their safety and wellness.
Boston Limbach Fall Safety Luncheon Met With Appreciation

Boston Limbach recently held a safety training luncheon in an effort to familiarize their foreman
with current practices in fall protection. The event kicked off with a delicious barbeque cook out,
preceding safety demonstrations conducted by Lance Swartwout, Northeast Sales Manager for
Capital Safety.
Lance explained how absolutely necessary it is for a company like Limbach to create a
comprehensive fall protection program. He provided a customized training truck that his
company uses to visually highlight the many dangers associated with falls. The features of this
truck included a hydraulically operated platform that created 10-feet high standing columns with
a cross brace. A series cable supported weights hung off the cross brace and were triggered
to release at various heights. An LED display indicated the amount of force exerted from each
release. The purpose of this demonstration was to illustrate how a tremendous amount of force
can accumulate in only a short distance.
Even though Lance represented the product line of a particular manufacturer, his performance
well exceeded that of an ordinary sales call. Feedback from the day was overwhelmingly
positive and the impact was immediate. Directly following the formal training, Limbach
employees were invited to examine the latest in fall protection hardware and software. Without
delay, many of the foremen re-inspected their own fall protection equipment in order to ensure
its proper validity.
Needless to say, the safety luncheon was a great success and the efforts of Lance and Capital
Safety were appreciated by all. “If you have them in your area we would highly recommend this
demonstration.” Says Tom Crane, Limbach Boston’s new Safety and Commissioning Manager.
The Limbach Family
Loses One of its Best
Sadly, in the beginning of this year, Limbach
unexpectedly lost one it’s most beloved and
well respected employees. On January 29,
2009 Jim Zak passed away, leaving a legacy at Limbach
stretching 35 years. Remembered for his humorous and friendly
demeanor, Jim was a true team player, making countless
contributions to the success of his company.
Staring his Limbach career as a sheet metal tradesman at the Detroit

branch, Jim worked through the ranks becoming a foreman, then Project Manager, and on
to Safety Director. Proving himself time and time again, Jim accepted each promotion with a
sincere humility, earning the admiration of all his coworkers.
An integral part of the safety culture at Detroit Limbach, his deep compassion for the welfare
of the workers was always apparent. Never seeking recognition, Jim’s true focus was always
on helping other people. Good-natured and caring, this is his departing legacy. He will be
missed by the entire Limbach family.
“Jim’s unexpected and shocking departure has left us with a hole in our lives and hearts,”
offers Hal Ruffner, EVP of the Central Region, “we will not forget the lessons we have learned
from a dear family member and close friend.”
Williard Limbach Revs Up On Safety

Early in 2008, Tom Lennon, Branch Manager at Willard Limbach, implemented the Vehicle
Inspection Program. Williard Limbach has over 100 vehicles being utilized on any given
day. Because of this, the Inspection Program was quite crucial. The goal was to bring in two
vehicles per week and ensure they were equipped with safe tools and Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE). Fifty-four vehicles were inspected between January and July. Several com-
a-longs, cords and regulators were removed from service and replaced. Also, break down
triangles were issued to every truck and fire extinguishers were refilled as needed. Another
thoroughly inspected item was the ladders that accompany the vehicles. Many were removed
from the trucks and destroyed while others simply required new ropes, shoes or pulleys.
Finally, to ensure the furthering of vehicle safety at Williard Limbach, each technician viewed
a ladder safety video.
Limbach Pittsburgh’s Safety Picnic a Huge Success
Last summer, Limbach Pittsburgh held a Safety Recognition picnic at Boyce Park for all of the branch
employees. The purpose of the picnic was to reinforce the Incident and Injury Free (IIF), and “I CARE” culture
so highly revered at Limbach. Also, congratulations were in order for all the foremen and project managers who
have completed the OSHO 30 hour training program.
The day was an excellent means of further exploring Limbach’s commitment to the safety of its workers. For
example, a table was set up to display and distribute the latest in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). “Guys
are quite particular about their gloves,” says safety manager, Jim Blose, “so we handed out different types in
order to get some feedback on what works best for them.”
Limbach Pittsburgh wishes to extend its warm appreciation to all the vendors that donated some great prizes.
The success of the picnic would not have been possible without their generous support. “Everyone went home
happy,” Jim recollects. “It’s always a great day when the field and office people can get together to celebrate
Limbach’s achievements.”
Limbach Boston Welcomes New Safety

& Commissioning Manager
In the fall of 2008 Tom Crain was hired as the new Safety and Commissioning Manager
here at Limbach Boston.  Tom brings with him over 30 years experience in the construction
industry.  His background includes service management, project management, and a wealth
of HVAC knowledge.
Tom has quickly embraced the IIF concept, and looks forward to further training.  He
recently traveled to Washington DC to meet with Bill Brock and learn the ins and outs of
Limbach safety policies and philosophies. Although Tom has only been with us for a short
while, we have already received positive feedback from his peers in the field.  
Please join us in welcoming Tom to the Limbach Boston Team!
Limbach DC Safety Notes
Continuing to remind our employees about living Incident and
Injury Free (IIF) everyday, is always at the forefront of day-to-
day business. In adherence to this notion, Limbach DC has
turned the IIF commitment card into magnetic posters that
attach to the inside of all gang boxes as well as other locations
throughout the office.
Last fall, fourteen foremen completed the OSHA 30 course

taught in house. In September, a 20 hour bridging class will be
offered to both foreman and project managers who already have
the ten-hour certification. Undergoing the thirty-hour training
provides these employees with the ability to better evaluate
hazards, reinforce safe practices and stop unsafe behavior
before it becomes an accident.
In the summer of 2008 Limbach DC reached the one year period without a lost time accident. We
have now gone 1505 days with only one lost time accident, totaling 1,257,000 hours. As we extend
the IIF process to both foremen and project managers we hope to eliminate all lost time accidents
in the future.
• As Limbach continues to grow and secure an ever increasing flow of new jobs, our first priority
is the safety of all field employees. Regular, up-to-date safety training is necessary to ensure
that the proper procedures and contingences are always adhered to. The prevailing theme
throughout these orientations is the, “I CARE” philosophy. The “I CARE” message personalizes
the immense concern Limbach extends to every last employee.
• In early October, the DC branch held a First Aid, CPR refresher course. The course is open to
all Limbach employees who currently hold a CPR card set to expire in October/ November of
this year.
• In December, the DC branch will host a Foreman’s IIF Action Training Session, presented by
JMJ Associates. This two-day course, will equip Limbach foreman with the tools essential
to managing any and all safety issues concerning their personnel. The seminar will focus on
developing each participants ability to:
– Recognize and remove obstacles to working safely

– Recognize and reinforce safer work practices
– Recognize and redirect unsafe work practices
– Build confidence in the IIF practices of field employees, so they may set an example for
others.
– Put the “I Care” theme of IIF into practice.
– Representatives from other Limbach branches will audit the session for reference with their
own employees.
The Harper Limbach Safety Celebration
Given enough time, a workforce will come to resemble a family. In striving to meet a common set of goals, a special
rapport develops that goes far beyond the typical work relationship. Each member of the team holds a genuine
interest in the well being of everyone around them. For at the heart of every company’s success, is its ability
to work effectively as a group. Limbach’s continued
growth is contingent upon this philosophy. As such, it is 25 Years 10 Years

It should also be noted, that Harper Limbach has enjoyed an outstanding safety record. The correlation between this
record and the number of long term employees is not a coincidence. It is in fact, perfect evidence to the notion that a
company’s potential is only limited by its ability to secure a committed workforce.

Safety Awareness in Limbach Columbus is Leading to Safest Year Ever

Dave McLaughlin, Safety Manager at Limbach Columbus, has spent a lot of time recently exploring the “Safety
Culture” of the company. He is pleased to report that safety is of the foremost priority to the men and women in
Columbus. Not long ago, Incident and Injury Free (IIF) Commitment Cards were instituted and distributed to all
team members. These IIF Cards indicate the desire held by all to achieve a workplace environment completely
committed to safety concerns. The cards contain a series of bulleted safety points which will serve as a personal
oath for the card signer to abide by. Columbus intends on using the cards as part of an incentive program, where by
employees can earn points by familiarizing themselves with the card’s statements as well as having them on their
person at all times. Currently, these points can be exchanged for various clothing articles and accessories. However,
an expanded catalogue is being developed that will offer a wider range of exciting items (such as Apple iPods).
The response to this enticement method has been quite enthusiastic as employees are eager for the opportunity to
display their commitment to safety. Columbus is on track for having one of their best safety years. The bottom line is
for each person to make it home to their family every day unharmed.
