Dewberry, a privately held professional services firm, has announced that it has received a 2025-2026 Award of Excellence from the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services Building Design and Construction Division. The award recognizes the firm for its sustainable and energy-efficient design for the Jermantown Vehicle Service Center electric vehicle (EV) charging station project in Fairfax, Virginia.
Dewberry’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) practice led electrical engineering and construction administration services for EV service equipment (EVSE) design and installation. The new EV charging infrastructure supports up to 14 fleet vehicles and two public vehicles through Level 2 chargers. Installation of the charging stations aligns with the county’s Community-Wide Energy and Climate Action Plan (CECAP), which aims for carbon neutrality across Fairfax County government operations by 2040 and community-wide carbon neutrality by 2050. Dewberry is now leading additional projects to support the county’s transition to energy-efficient vehicle fleet operations.
“We are proud to support Fairfax County’s commitment to carbon neutrality,” says Dewberry Associate and Department Manager Dave Wernli, PE, LEED AP. “The installation of 16 new EV charging stations at Jermantown Vehicle Service Center represents an important investment in energy-efficient infrastructure, meeting today’s operational needs while advancing long-term sustainability goals.”
