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  H[SHQGLWXUH ZDV LQGLFDWLQJ D PDMRU GHžFLHQF\ LQ WKHLU V\VWHP %HDYHUFUHHN FRQWDFWHG 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,  DQ XQDQWLFLSDWHG DQG GUDPDWLF HVFDODWLRQ LQ WKH XWLOLW\ ELOOV VLJQLžHG HYLGHQFH RI D FULWLFDO GHVLJQ ÂżDZ 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  ZHOO EH\RQG WKH KHDWLQJ GHPDQG $GGLWLRQDOO\ FRQWURO VHTXHQFHV DQG DLUÂżRZV LQ WKH QHZ 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-Âheated  water  to  be  reused  and  eliminating  excess  heat  delivered  to  the  building.  Secondly,  the  building  control  system  would  be  optimized  to  operate  HVAC  equipment  FRQVLVWHQW ZLWK VSHFLžF RFFXSDQF\ DQG DLUÂżRZ QHHGV 7KH SURMHFWHG HOHFWULF DQG QDWXUDO gas  savings  were  $45,000  annually.  Fortunately,  the  savings  have  already  well  exceeded  expectations. ,Q WKH žYH PRQWKV VLQFH WKH SURMHFWÂľV FRPSOHWLRQ %HDYHUFUHHN KDV VDYHG LQ HOHFWULF FRVWV DQG LQ JDV FRVWV HTXDWLQJ WR D WRWDO PRQWK VDYLQJV RI 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.â€?   With  this  success  in  mind,  Beavercreek  is  FRQWLQXLQJ WR SDUWQHU ZLWK 6DER /LPEDFK WR VHHN RXW PRUH HQHUJ\ HIžFLHQF\ LPSURYHPHQWV 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 RI HQHUJ\ HI¾FLHQW HTXLSPHQW DQG EXLOGLQJ PDWHULDOV ZLOO DIIHFW ORQJ WHUP XWLOLW\ FRVWV Customers can now demonstrate environmental responsibility while also receiving the greatest return on their investment.

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 WULDQJOHV ZHUH LVVXHG WR HYHU\ WUXFN DQG ¾UH H[WLQJXLVKHUV ZHUH UH¾OOHG DV QHHGHG $QRWKHU 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.

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 25 Years 10 Years growth is contingent upon this philosophy. As such, it is Herman Williams Tim Ward (LEDS) important to periodically take a moment and express our Billy Brockenbrough appreciation. Annually, Harper Limbach LLC conducts a recognition FHOHEUDWLRQ WR KRQRU HPSOR\HHV IRU HDFK ¾YH \HDU SHULRG they spend with the company. Obviously, devoting such a substantial period of ones life requires a mutual appreciation and dedication to the company and one another.

In 2008, the recognition awards were bestowed at Harper Limbach’s Safety Celebration, at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida. 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.

For  Limbach,  a  key  value  in  achieving  business  excellence  is  the  development  of  a  strong  safety  culture.  Realizing  an  incident  &  injury  free  work  environment  necessitates  an  everyday  commitment.  The  personnel  responsible  for  construction  activities  require  continuous  updating  on  the  best  way  to  handle  any  of  the  safety  and  health  concerns  that  they  may  encounter.
