Successfully Intergrating New Technologies Into Older Facilities
WHAT IS A OLDER FACILITY An estimated 97% of state or county correctional facilities have been in use for more than 20 years. The remaining 3% of “new” prisons that are 20 years old or less, were designed using older technology.
Result… • Most of todays facilities were designed and built using decades old technologies. • The remaining facilities were likely designed by the lowest bidder, leaving little room for research and development using newer technology. • Prisons built during the boom period (90’s era), the life cycle of that equipment at or near its end. Plan for major replacements. • Boilers • Water Heaters • Air Handlers
Example - MICHIGAN DOC • Built 10 prisons of same foot print, beginning early 90’s. The actual design was conceived using 70’s & 80’s technology. • Last facility opened in 2001. Some facilities were built, then mothballed for years, prior to opening. • As a cost savings measure, all were similar design-build projects. • Low bidder was awarded the design contract.
Questions? • What are new technologies and what technologies are available to corrections? • Newer Technologies - Are they better? • Do they actually work in Corrections? • Does “Greening Corrections” fit this category? • How do we fund them? • Piece meal approach • Capital Outlay funds • Performance Contract

Challenges • Funding • Changing the culture to accept new technology. • Fitting new technology into an older design systems. • Change. Staff and client learning curve. Time available for acceptance to the change. • Additional costs to remove older equipment or materials, or abandon in place?. • HAZMAT
WARNING Changing the end user (demand use component) is different than changing the delivery system (infrastructure). The entire system needs to be looked at very closely. What appears to be a simple change can end up costing thousands more than what was anticipated. Bottom line - Don’t just look at the component – you need to look at the entire system.
Moving Forward – Obstacles • Funding • Facility Operations – hours to complete project • Staff man hours • Maintenance staff • Project staff • Emergency repairs • PM’s
EPC A EPC is similar to a Design and Build contract or a turn key project. It provides facilities with a comprehensive set of energy efficiencies, renewable energies and distribution generation measures accompanied with guarantees of savings from projects that will be financed by savings for the full cost of the project.

Why Do An EPC? Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) allows the Correctional Facilities to accomplish energy saving projects, along with mechanical equipment up-grades to be completed without up-front capital investments and without special appropriations. Simply put, a means for financing physical plant up-grades via energy savings and to Bring New Technologies into Older Facilities.
