Todd D. Gundlach, PE Deputy Director Division of Resource Mgmt 508-541-5301 X13 [email protected]
Background • Division of Resource Management – Excellent Stewardship of the Commonwealth’s Physical Resources – 18 Prisons; 10,000+ inmates; 5,300+ acres; 6,100,000+ square feet of buildings. – All capital projects; new construction, upgrades, renovations, improvements, mission changes, emergency response, utilities, Intra/Inter Agency representation.
– 3 PEs, 1 AIA, 1 LSP, 5 PMs – WPCF, PP Water Systems Operations
Background • Conservation • ESCOs • Sustainability Initiatives – Award Winning
• Demand Response / DG / Forward Capacity • MTC/CREBS/CEC – Renewables – PV Wind
Demand Side Revenue • Real Time Demand Response – Every Prison has a generator
• Forward Capacity Auctions
• Renewable Energy Credits • Alternative Portfolio Standards
• MA DOC realizes almost $100k/quarter – 2006 Award from ISO-NE
Sustainability • Revolving Demand Side Revenue back into Renewables (i.e small solar) • Small projects such as solar/thermal, insulation, thermostats, lighting, etc. • Partnership with other agencies to use the DOC as a test bed (i.e. biofuel/UMASS)
• Incorporating Technologies into Support Operations (i.e. MBR @ WPCFs)
Renewable Energy • 10 separate PV arrays (1.1MW) on existing lawns and old filter beds at waste treatment plants • (2) 1.65+MW 80 meter Wind Turbines • Solar/Thermal for staff gym hot water • Small PV for out buildings
Innovative Financing • Clean Renewable Bonds (IRS) • ESCOs – financing through demonstrated savings
• FEMA – Pre Disaster Mitigation • Rebates – GTG @ BCC, traps @ MCI-N • ARRA
Lessons Learned • Science Based – Aged Infrastructure Standardization • Bigger is not always Better • Interagency Relationships
• Reliance on the Virtual World • Never underestimate the will of a company losing revenue • Embrace Bureaucracy
