ABM Installs One of the Largest Solar Arrays in Baltimore History

ABM Partners with Sol Systems and Washington Gas Energy Systems on 1.2 MW Solar Array

New York, NY - December 5, 2013 - ABM (NYSE:ABM), a leading provider of

facility solutions, announced today that ABM's energy business has
successfully commissioned a 1.2 MW solar array in Baltimore, Md.,
representing one of the largest solar installations to date in the Baltimore
metropolitan area. Washington Gas Energy Systems, a subsidiary of WGL
Holdings (NYSE: WGL), owns the system, and land owner Glen Meadows
Retirement Community, a subsidiary of Presbyterian Senior Living, will reap
the benefits of lower, fixed-rate energy costs. ABM provided the
engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the solar array
on behalf of Washington Gas Energy Systems and Sol Systems, which provided
the solar financing for the project.

In addition to being responsible for construction, ABM will also maintain
the 4,150 panel array on behalf of Washington Gas Energy Systems under a
long-term contract, providing the senior living facility with fixed,
low-cost energy rates over the life of the 20-year agreement, allowing
Presbyterian Senior Living to save money as utility costs are expected to
rise in the coming years. The system is expected to generate just over 1.5
million kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. Construction began in August and was
finalized in October.

"ABM is excited to have completed the first of many utility-scale solar
development projects to come," said Ted O'Shea, ABM energy business vice
president. "We've made significant investments to increase our expertise in
the development of renewable energy as a solution to reduce owning and
operating costs and increase energy efficiency for our clients. We look
forward to continuing to help other organizations obtain fixed-cost energy
pricing while generating revenue for their facilities through our renewable
energy solutions."

The multi-year, multi-million dollar contract represents the first project
completed through ABM's recent joint venture with Building Energy, an
Italian-based independent power producer, which added further expertise to
ABM's renewables team. ABM and Building Energy have collectively installed
over 250 MWs through solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)
contracts, completed over $1B in energy projects, and currently operate and
maintain over 200 MWs of solar facilities across five countries.

"Our joint venture with ABM delivered a high quality solar plant within a
short timeframe, ensuring Washington Gas Energy Systems' standards were met
across the project's execution," said Andrea Braccialarghe, Building
Energy's managing director, America. "Building Energy's solar power plant
experience worldwide creates tremendous value for our joint venture's U.S.
clients through well-built systems that maximize clean, renewable solar
power."
