COMPANY OVERVIEW

Furlow Associates, Inc. has been in continuous operation since its founding in 1941 and has developed a
comprehensive engineering practice. Services provided by the Firm include facility assessments, feasibility studies,
investigations and cost evaluations, energy analyses, master planning utility systems, mechanical, plumbing, fire
protection, and electrical design, bid documents including drawings and specifications, and construction
administration. These services have been provided for college and university buildings, K-12 educational facilities,
medical facilities, nursing care facilities, office buildings, manufacturing plants, public buildings including
courthouses and religious facilities, warehouses, correctional institutions, and private residences.

The broad experience of the principals of Furlow Associates, combined with a competent staff of engineers,
designers, CAD personnel, and field engineers enables the organization to offer the full range of mechanical,
plumbing, fire protection, and electrical engineering services. These capabilities include site utilities, air
conditioning and refrigeration, steam generation, plumbing and drainage, fire protection, sewage disposal, heating
and ventilating, medical gas, normal and emergency power distribution systems, interior and exterior lighting, fire
alarm and communication systems.

Furlow Associates has participated in several projects using Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) design elements, completed successful submissions to USGBC for LEED certification, and has LEED
Accredited Professionals on staff. Furlow Associates’ design group has completed extensive training utilizing the
latest 3D technologies, including Revit, and have implemented this technology into major projects. The firm has
also performed comprehensive energy studies and has a Certified Energy Manager and Certified Green Building
Engineer on staff.

Furlow Associates has key personnel qualified in all phases of mechanical and electrical engineering design. This
permits assignment of specific responsibility to key persons in the areas of planning, design, working drawings,
specifications, and construction. The principals of the firm, however, recognize that the practice of engineering is a
personal service for which they must take direct responsibility. For this reason, a principal personally supervises a
specific project from initial job study to completion.

Furlow Associates presently has a staff of 15 personnel divided into the following departments:

Plumbing and Fire Protection 3
Mechanical 5
Electrical 4
Support Staff 3
TOTAL STAFF 15

The Firm is licensed in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia; and is a
member of the Delaware Association of Professional Engineers, American Society of Plumbing Engineers,
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, United States Green Building Council
and the American Society for Healthcare Engineering, Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Association
