DONNELLY DELIVERS PRESENTATION ON THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION AT CONTECH 2014 NEW YORK, NY—April 16, 2014—Donnelly Mechanical Corporation (Donnelly Mechanical) is pleased to announce that Chief Executive Officer Daniel T. Donnelly delivered a presentation on sustainable construction and high-efficiency HVAC systems at ConTech 2014, a construction technology conference hosted by the Greater New York Construction User Council and Subcontractors Trade Association at New York University’s Kimmel Center on March 26, 2014. Mr. Donnelly provided this presentation as a part of ConTech 2014’s “Sustainability: Future Outlook” panel, moderated by Steven Winter of Steven Winter Associates. He was joined by fellow panelists Michael Aisner of RXR Realty, Elizabeth J. Heider, AIA LEED AP of Skanska USA, Alison Novak of The Hudson Companies and Ozgem Ornektekin of New York University. Reducing Carbon Footprint and Utility Bills Mr. Donnelly’s presentation, “Sustainability: New York Status Report and Future Outlook and High‐Efficiency HVAC Equipment Replacement,” provided an overview of how the utilization of high-efficiency HVAC systems is a fundamental component of sustainable construction in New York City. Mr. Donnelly explained how installing state-of-the-art HVAC systems in commercial construction, replacing old systems in preexisting buildings with new high-efficiency systems, and implementing a regular preventative maintenance routine can reduce energy consumption, leading to a reduced carbon footprint, lower utility bills, better indoor air quality and a healthier work environment. Saving Money & Stress In addition to exploring the many environmental benefits of upgrading HVAC systems and service, Mr. Donnelly demonstrated how these HVAC upgrades can save both costs and stress. Mr. Donnelly provided the following additional incentives to HVAC system upgrades: Rebates and tax incentives are available to subsidize the cost of new equipment and installation. Freon and other CFC refrigerants are no longer being produced, making it very expensive to service older units and repair leaks. The standard refrigerant R22 was $10/lb two years ago and is presently $25/lb and rising. Installing new HVAC units can significantly reduce peak summer utility costs by at least 15%. New high-efficiency equipment requires less maintenance and fewer service outages. About Daniel T. Donnelly Daniel T.
