Edwards AFBData Center Consolidation ESPC

First AF Data Center Consolidation ESPC

IT driven effortReduce the energy use and footprint of 14 data centers

Upgrade/consolidate telephone switch facility


• Ongoing endeavor since Jan 2012• Ground breaking opportunity, AF pilot• Combination of:– Energy conservation mandates– Data center consolidation mandates

• Joint effort:– Civil engineering– Communications/IT



• ESPCs…– …are contracting vehicles that leverage 3rd party funds– …to identify and implement energy saving measures (ECMs)– …for a term of up to 25-years– …are financed through energy and O&M cost savings– …annual payments cannot exceed what the agency would

have paid without an ESPC

• Energy Service Company (ESCO) finances, designs, implements, operates, maintains and owns infrastructure improvements



• Acquisition Team:– HQ Space Command-Lead Command– AFCEC ESPC PMO– HQ AFMC– AF Life Cycle Mgmt Center (Data Consolidation)– Edwards AFB Engineering– Edwards AFB Communications



• Notice of Opportunity Sent to 16 ESCOs– Identified project opportunity

• 14 Data Centers, 26,066 SF and 568

– Identified Service Levels, Tech rqmts and O&M rqmts – Identified evaluation factors

• Interested ESCOs submitted Expression of Interest and attended Site Visit

• ESCOs submitted “Sample” Preliminary Assessments (PA)– PA establishes the merits, technical feasibility, level of

projected savings and economics


Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade

• Schneider Electric selected to complete Investment Grade Audit (IGA)

• IGA underway• ESCO’s proposed Energy Conservations

Measures (ECMs) must meet the rqmts below:– Must be economical– Must meet provided Service Level Agreements– O&M savings should not be the driver

• Who knows what the ESCO will find/propose– Right sizing data centers– Retire/consolidate servers– Data center power conservation and HVAC

reduction– Lighting upgrades– Liquid cooling– Thin/zero client reduction– Base network power saving initiatives (optic

switching)– Virtualization


• ESCO will submit proposal with tech/price components– Baseline current energy consumption– Inventory/analyze systems, hardware and

applications– Strong M&V Plan– Proposal reviewed at 30/60/90% phases

• First of its kind in DoD, significant visibility• Successful negotiations/award may have AF wide

implications if repeatable
