---Matthew Mullen Receives U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Accreditation---
VERNON, CT – March 30, 2006 – Matthew Mullen, P.E., Engineering Consultant and Business Development Manager at New England Mechanical Services, Inc. (NEMSI), has
received accreditation from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) professional.
NEMSI, one of New England’s leading mechanical services providers, is a subsidiary of EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE:EME), a Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure, and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses globally.
The LEED professional accreditation program is rigorous, requiring participants to satisfy a number of criteria covering a wide range of sustainable construction and development issues. Accreditation identifies individuals who have the necessary knowledge and skills to participate in the green design process, support and encourage integrated design, and streamline the LEED application and certification process for buildings. The certification process for buildings uses the LEED Green Building Rating SystemÔ, a consensus-based national green building standard for the construction industry.
Mr. Mullen’s accreditation is part of the Company-wide program announced by EMCOR last year whereby all key personnel, coast-to-coast will become accredited under the guidelines of USGBC’s LEED program. With 75% of the LEED certification points related to the type of work that EMCOR does everyday, the Company is working to further expand its role and expertise in the area of environmental stewardship, as well as its client service offerings in the area of high performance and sustainable design facilities.
“The LEED professional accreditation program recognizes expertise in sustainable design and construction and identifies individuals who can help meet the growing demand from the
public and private sectors for green buildings,” noted Dana Finnegan, NEMSI President. “Matt’s capabilities, as demonstrated by his LEED accreditation, underscores the extent of the expertise NEMSI brings to the table when working for an organization whose agenda includes environmental stewardship, as well as the bottom line. Indeed, his experience will benefit all NEMSI clients who are looking to integrate sustainable design elements into their building programs.”
A licensed Professional Engineer, Mr. Mullen is experienced in the engineering and construction of complex HVAC and building systems as well as energy analysis and performance-based services. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arizona and is a member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Association of Facilities Engineering.
