  1. Enterprise Energy Management System for State Facilities(EEMS)

  2. Key Points • Current Situation in Massachusetts • EEMS Defined • EEMS Program • EEMS Benefits • EEMS Current Status

  3. Current Situation in Massachusetts • Commonwealth owns and operates 65 million square feet of buildings across hundreds of campuses • Tracking energy use occurs inconsistently and only through utility bills on a monthly basis • Where tracking does happen, sites cannot track down to the building level as many buildings do not have their own utility meters UMass Lowell Campus alone consists of 2.8 million square feet, 3 distinct campuses, 46 buildings, 15 electric meters

  4. Current Situation (con’t.) State colleges and universities use close to 450 million kWh annually, costing more than $65 million annually • Energy spend in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually • For most properties, unable to identify building energy use and cannot therefore identify poor energy performers • Monthly energy data ok for tracking but not for real-time response to anomalies or operational issues

  5. EEMS Program DOER elected to target $10 million of federal stimulus (ARRA) funds toward the development of a state government wide Enterprise Energy Management System to meter energy consumption at the building level and provide real-time energy data to help maximize efficiency through improved long-term planning and short-term response. • Phase 1: Building metering and EEMS application at 410 buildings/17 million square feet of state buildings • Phase 2: Pending funding, additional 40-50 million square feet of state buildings 5

  6. What is EEMS? 1. Installation of over 110 near real-time (5 minute) building-level meters for electricity, natural gas, oil, steam, condensate, propane, hot and chilled water 2. Access to web-enabled software application that tracks, trends, benchmarks, and reports on energy consumption data to drive energy efficiency

  7. Enterprise Energy Management SystemPhase 1 Sites • Higher Ed • Berkshire Community College • Bunker Hill Community College • Cape Cod Community College • Fitchburg State University • Mass. College of Art • Mass. Maritime Academy • Quinsigamond Community College • Salem State University • UMass Lowell • Westfield State University • Department of Correction • Bay State Correctional • Boston Pre-Release Center • MCI Cedar Junction • MCI Concord • MCI Norfolk • MCI Plymouth • Northeastern Correctional • Pondville Correctional • Bridgewater complex • Framingham complex • Shirley complex • Health & Human Services • Mass. Hospital School • Shattuck Hospital • Tewksbury State Hospital • Western Mass. Hospital • Chelsea Soldiers’ Home 7

  8. EEMS Benefits Data from the EEMS is collected in a central software portal, which will provide: • Relevant data to state program managers to help target efficiency funding to buildings and sites that are large energy users • Actionable data to individual facility managers, who can use the data to identify buildings that are performing poorly and react to real time information that identifies energy spikes or problems • Bill auditing resulting in potential reductions and utility rebates • Carbon tracking with reporting functionalities • Threshold settings and alarms to facilities staff 8

  9. Savings Examples • EEMS can show high electric demand during morning which can lead to staggered equipment turn-on, resulting in lower demand charges • EEMS can show whether lighting is being turned off at night/weekends and lead to immediate action • EEMS can show whether BMS schedules have been over-ridden for an event and not re-set and lead to appropriate re-scheduling • EEMS can highlight which buildings are less/more efficient and help staff target repairs, building commissioning, etc. Anticipate EEMS will result in 5-15% energy savings

  10. Current Status – October 2011 • Metering underway at 22 out of 22 large complexes • Target Date for Completion of Metering Installation: November 2011 • Site Surveys for additional sites underway
