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 (90s era),
  the life cycle of that equipment at or near its
  end. Plan for major replacements.
• Boilers
• Water Heaters
• Air Handlers

5
Example - MICHIGAN DOC

• Built 10 prisons of same foot print, beginning
  early 90s. The actual design was conceived
  using 70s 80s 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

30
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 - Dont just look at the component
you need to look at the entire system.
31
Moving Forward Obstacles

1. Funding
2. Facility Operations hours to complete project
3. Staff man hours
4. Maintenance staff
5. Project staff
6. Emergency repairs
7. PMs

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.
