data every 24 hours, and smart building software provides engineers with priority lists of faulty equipment. Initial plans to scrap the aging infrastructure and replace it with new would have cost more than $60 million, plus potential productivity costs associated with moving personnel during construction. The software solution completely avoided these costs.
The software, which has saved Microsoft millions of dollars, has been so successful that the company and its partners are now helping building managers around the world, including at the Pentagon, implement the same solution. With commercial buildings consuming about 40 percent of the world's energy, Microsoft says "the potential is enormous."
Bloomberg LP, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs Canada Mobile Database and JPMorgan Chase - the largest member in the New York area - have committed to reducing emissions by up to 40 percent at their New York offices over 10 years.
Deutsche Bank says it has completed about 80 different projects in New York over the past few years that have reduced electricity consumption by 18.3 million kWh per year, or about a quarter. The company recently installed 682 solar panels on the roof of its New York office, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 100 metric tons per year, the bank says. In 2009, the company placed a 250 kWh solar array on the roof of its Piscataway, New Jersey office.
This data gave the team greater insight, allowing them to make better diagnoses and make much smarter decisions. A test run of the program in 13 Microsoft buildings yielded stunning results: Not only did Microsoft save energy and millions in maintenance and utility costs, but the company now has excellent visibility into how its buildings are performing.
Whether it's a stuck damper in Building 75 or a leaking valve in Studio H, energy managers can detect even the smallest problems using their high-tech control panels at their desks, rather than having to hop on a truck to find and fix the problem. personally, says Microsoft.
NRG has designed solar panels for at least four other professional football stadiums: FedExField in Maryland, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Patriot Place Mall located outside Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, and the new Santa Clara Stadium currently under construction in Santa Clara. California, near San Francisco Bay. Collectively, these projects will provide professional football stadiums with 7.5 MW of power during peak hours.
