EMCOR Group, Inc. Subsidiary Awarded Contract For Mechanical Systems Upgrades At California State University Channel Islands

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, November 4, 2008 - 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, announced that its University Marelich Mechanical subsidiary has received a contract to upgrade and convert a number of mechanical systems relating to indoor environmental comfort at the California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo, California.

University Marelich Mechanical will be responsible for installing the HVAC and plumbing systems in a new 1,265-ton central plant at the campus, which will convert purchased steam into chilled and heated water that will be distributed into a campus-wide loop.

Additionally, its services will include the conversion of three existing 1930's buildings from steam heating to a central HVAC system. The conversion will include demolition of existing air handlers, cast iron steam radiators and associated duct and branch piping and will re-connect new air handlers to existing duct mains, adding necessary duct branches for air distribution.

Construction of the three buildings is on a leapfrog schedule to accommodate school schedule and occupancy needs.

"We are pleased to again be working for the California State University Channel Islands," said Scott Baker, President and CEO of University Marelich Mechnical. "We have a keen appreciation for the important role indoor environmental comfort plays in the learning process. The upgraded mechanical systems we're providing the campus and community today will provide a world-class learning, teaching, and meeting facility for our children for years to come."
