State of Missouri Building Energy Retrofit

Key Facts

• With Missouri's operations and maintenance bills hitting $300 million annually, state officials decided to upgrade the facilities' control and information management systems — which had operated separately — into a shared building information management system, and manage all facility subsystems for more than 1,000 buildings through a single portal at one location.
• • Metasys Sustainability Manager - All building systems, from heating and cooling to security and lighting, would be integrated with other applications, such as IT/communications and business process management.
  • The building automation system greatly improved the interaction of mechanical subsystems in the buildings - The heart of the energy retrofit program is an integrated system that delivers real-time information on water, gas and electric utility usage, maintenance spending, capital investments and more.
• The project took 24 months to implement
• For the overall solution, the likely ROI is 12

• Additional benefits from the project include:

  • improved occupant comfort
  • provide state officials with the information necessary to ensure that long-term energy, capital, real estate and maintenance costs remain under control and within budget.
• The actual (or likely) cost of the project is $24 million
• The actual (or projected) savings from the project are $35.6 million in annual savings from real estate, operations, construction and utilities budgets in the first year of the contract and more than $9 million in savings annually

What was the impact?

• 93,082 t CO₂e has been saved on this project , over a period of 12 months

• Notes about Carbon savings/calculations

  205,210,232 pounds of carbon dioxide will be saved annually.
  
• The project has internal verification for results

Making it Happen

• The following regulations or incentives allowed the business case to be more attractive

  In 2005, Missouri leaders embarked on an aggressive campaign to reduce statewide energy consumption by 15 percent by 2010. While constituents praise the campaign as environmentally friendly, the state's motivations also were driven by economics.

• Barriers experienced during the initiation of the project

• Comments regarding barriers

  Existing systems' incompatibility, outdated information, proprietary architectures and dysfunctional operating processes presented significant hurdles

• How were they overcome?

  Resolved through integrating existing and new systems; designing and developing real-time communications infrastructure; and deploying portal, dashboard, analytics and control technology
