ORLANDO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/03/08 -- Over 1,750,000 annual passengers travelingthrough Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) will soon benefit fromfacility enhancements at this state-of-the-art airport. Energy SystemsGroup (ESG) has partnered with TBI Airport Management, Inc. in a 10-year$3.375 million energy savings contract for key energy conservation andfacility upgrades throughout SFB.

"The environment and resource conservation have been at the forefront ofour company's agendafor quite some time," commented Larry Gouldthorpe, President of TBI AirportManagement, Inc. at Orlando Sanford. "Working with the airport authority'sown initiatives and ESG's expertise makes this partnership a rewardingfirst step in an enduring purpose."
