EMESGY, a consulting company in Torrance, CA, presented written proposals for potential cost saving energy upgrades from ADC Energy of California to the electrical systems at the Century Town Hall, the “Ag Building” community center on West Highway 4 and the former Helicopter Technology building in the Century Industrial Park. The industrial park building is currently unoccupied.

On October 29, Hawkins emailed the general Escambia County District 5 address inviting Barry to attend a presentation from Mark Endo of EMESGY. The presentation was set for the following afternoon.

On November 27, Hawkins forwarded a copy of the proposals to Barry. The proposals were emailed to Hawkins on November 9.

“I’m hoping to get your approval on using economic money to do these.  If we can do either City Hall or the Community Center would be great,” Hawkins wrote.

Barry said he did not respond to either email.

The Proposals

“ADC Energy is patented technology that allows transmission of low-voltage DC to travel long distance using existing wiring. It is now possible for you to battery power your entire facility with ADC Energy,” the company states on its website.

The proposals were in three phases. In the first phase, lighting in each building would be upgraded to “24V Battery powered facility lighting”. The second phase would add solar panels, and third phase would be a solar-powered HVAC system.

The total cost of the equipment, design and installation totaled $197,642 for just the first phase, itemized as follows:

  • Town Hall: $34,593
  • Community Center: $43,368
  • Industrial Park Building: $119,681

Endo proposed the project would be a “renewable energy showcase…to secure massive visibility in local, national, and international media viewed by domestic and international audiences” in an email to Hawkins.

The email also stated, “Century and EMESGY will invite Miami International University (MIU) who is the 4th largest R&D University in the US to work with Century to establish an offsite joint R&D initiative with MIU funding, new jobs, and technology development”.

According to their website, the Miami International University of Art & Design “is one of The Art Institutes, a system of schools throughout North America”, and MIU offers degrees in design, fashion and media arts.

Endo suggests in his email that notification be sent to governors, senators, local to international media, educational institutions to alert them of Century’s renewable energy initiatives and make Century a showcase.

Hawkins has not presented the proposals to the Century Town Council.
