established.
ECI is the premier New Mexico based Corporation engaged in the engineering, analysis and design
of mechanical and electrical systems including security and access with a strong presence
throughout New Mexico. ECI has found many customers require turnkey solutions in building
automation services and ECI can fulfill this need; not only offering end-to-end building automation,
but extended services with facility management, customer training and high-end warranty products.
This Corporate History includes a section on qualifications that defines capabilities that TCPN should
expect from a world class Integrated Services Company. ECI’
s core business philosophy is a
commitment to provide customers with exceptional service, while conducting ourselves with honesty
and integrity. ECI has done business with publicly funded customers for 35+ years, and welcomes
TCPN to contact any customer for an endorsement of our dedication to building long-term
relationships through quality projects and service.
The company was originally founded in 1976 to focus on energy engineering and control systems as
Energy Control Inc. (ECI). As an energy-engineering Company ECI has designed, specified, and
engineered energy saving modifications for public entities, commercial businesses, the educational
sector, and industrial projects. ECI continues as an industry leader in efficient integrated systems
within building automation with over $150,000,000 in projects completed to date. Through TCPN,
ECI can extend services to encompass integrated solutions to government entities within southwest
states: more specifically Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas.
ECI’
s commitment to provide the most intuitive, new and proven solutions to

Texas and with Tridium in Florida to offer demand response (DR) automation solutions. Through
affiliate divisions, ECI will be able to extend its’services further to encompass central and northern
states.
With this response it is ECI’
s intent to show TCPN the Company offers members value-added
services which are not available through any other Corporation. And though initially ECI is looking to
promote services within southwestern states, looks forward to the opportunity to assist throughout
the U.S. with a future national TCPN award. This will be accomplished through the proven

8. STANDARD TERMS OF PAYMENT Please define your standard terms of payment.
Net 30 Days
9. MARKETPLACE COMPETITION Who is your competition in the marketplace?
ECI offers public-funded entities services through the Cooperative Educational Services (CES)
which represents 90 percent of annual business. ECI is one of two top CES partners who has
received status as part of their $10,000,000 Club. For the extent of turnkey services offered, ECI has
no other competition approved to provide services at this level. Competitors differ as it relates to type
of solution. Integrated energy solutions and timely, state-wide services places ECI in a position of
prominence within New Mexico. Andover and Honeywell would be considered the completion
outside of the Cooperative award.
10. ANNUAL SALES Overall annual sales for last three (3) years; 2009, 2010, 2011
$42,000,000
11. PUBLIC SECTOR SALES Overall public sector sales, excluding Federal Government, for last three (3) years;
2009, 2009, 2011
$39,000,000
12. MARKET STRATEGY What is your strategy to increase market share?
State and local governments utilize vehicles such as University and Cooperative Agreements. TCPN
is viewed in high regard within this market. ECI’
s strategy is to use this TCPN award as a means to
promote integrated services to this market. The Company is quite versed in Cooperative selling and
will utilize this experience and the energy savings potential which integration brings. Also, ECI’
s
business affiliate Aircon works primarily with City and County entities within California. ECI will use
this association to establish relationships with new, California clients.
As an ESCO, ECI can offer energy conservation measures through integration with a savings
guarantee. ECI believes no effort to maximize efficiency is too small and will offer services and
solutions for any size project. ECI’
s intent is to work with members to provide projects that are
funded through multiple Capital venues which can be accomplished within current budgets. ECI has
represented customers in finding Capital for Integrated Energy Efficiency Projects and will offer
these services to TCPN and its members.
13. MARKET PLACE POSITION What differentiates your company from competitors?
TCPN # 12-29
April 26, 2012
ENERGY CONTROL INC
TAB 3
The company market focus is in integrated building automation to achieve energy efficiency within
HVAC, DDC and special systems of which ECI has received “top 50 integrator”awards for multiple
years. ECI is the leading CES vendor in providing these services to New Mexico School Districts
and with this award will offer these services to additional states and government entities.
ECI is steadfast in its approach to provide the most intuitive, new and proven solutions to customers
and this has led to collaborative initiatives with other Industry leaders. This culminates into national
expertise and systems knowledge at the hands of the TCPN member. The company is committed to
non-proprietary systems and is actively engaged in the development of open standards. ECI
President, Jack McGowan provides speaking engagements on Smart Building solutions and is cochair of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Building to Grid Expert Working Group
that is developing standards for interactions between buildings and the electric grid. This leadership
on a national level translates to added value for TCPN members.
ECI focuses on delivering much more than simple environmental systems at a competitive price by
using technology in smarter, more efficient ways. Others lack the capacity to serve some clients
adequately because they do not engineer their systems to meet growing needs and sell on best
price, which in the end causes the need for retrofit at additional costs. ECI is able to out-perform
other vendors because we are able to solve problems within multiple building systems by
encompassing cable structure, network knowledge, HVAC, DDC controls, security and fire systems
all under one umbrella and have the knowledgeable staff on board to back those systems.
14. ONLINE CATALOG Describe your firm’s capabilities and functionality of your on-line catalog/ordering website.
ECI will initiate a TCPN member portal after contract award which will contain current list price books
on the offered product lines. Members will have the ability to verify pricing and services with a quick
link access to vendor and TCPN websites. As ECI is an independent Company offering best
solutions and products for a given project it is difficult to offer on-line ordering solutions to cover
multiple vendor equipment. ECI is not able to offer this service to TCPN members but does accept
email, fax and phone orders.
15. CUSTOMER SERVICE Describe your company’s Customer Service Department (hours of operation, number of
service centers, etc.)
Perhaps one of the greatest benefits to working with ECI is the commitment that the Company has to
quality and the caliber of professional staff that are dedicated to the activity. The ECI operation is a
world class Energy Services and Integrated Systems installation and service organization. ECI
focuses on customer service and will develop a strong local presence with qualified field staff to
support TCPN members in pursuing ECI Services.
ECI has established customer service locations and additional field technicians located throughout
the State of New Mexico. It is ECI’
s intent to add strategically located field technicians and work with
partners to offer additional service locations within adjacent states. To provide seamless services,
ECI’
s Corporate Office in Rio Rancho serves as a hub to manage field technicians and assure timely
response to requests.

MARKETING / SALES
ECI is part of a group of Companies known as OpTerra Energy Group. One of the advantages this
brings is the exemplary team of Sales Lead Qualifiers within an affiliated division, Bluestone Energy
Services www.bluestoneenergy.com. This team creates a data base of pre-qualified contacts

accomplishment for rural New Mexico. The Company’
s ability to execute need only be verified by the
100 percent record of contract extensions. ECI saw a 50 percent increase in sales revenues through
the initiation of the Cooperative awards.
Upon award, ECI’
s operations Staff create pricing templates for construction bids and repair. These
types of projects generally are not processed through the sales team though the team is comprised
of any proposals. The reporting and tracking of bids and sales will be the responsibility of the sales

GREEN INITIATIVES
•We're committed to helping to build a cleaner future!
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the world population is expanding at a mind-boggling rate. The world reached 1
billion people in 1800; 2 billion by 1922; and over 6 billion by 2000. It is estimated that the population will swell to over 9
billion by 2050. That means that if the world’
s natural resources were evenly distributed, people in 2050 will only have 25%
of the resources per capita that people in 1950 had.
The world has a fixed amount of natural resources - some of which are already depleted. So as population growth greatly
strains our finite resources, there are fewer resources available. If we intend to leave our children and grandchildren with
the same standard of living we have enjoyed, we must preserve the foundation of that standard of living. We save for
college educations, orthodontia, and weddings, but what about saving clean air, water, fuel sources and soil for future
generations?
As our business grows, we want to make sure we minimize our impact on the Earth's climate. So we’
re taking every step
we can to implement innovative and responsible environmental practices throughout TCPN to reduce our carbon footprint,
reduce waste, promote energy conservation, and ensure efficient computing and much more. To that effort, we ask
respondents to provide their companies environmental policy and/or green initiative.
ECI’
s business strategy centers on smart-clean-green solutions, and this philosophy manifests in
daily business practices. ECI recycles paper, plastic and aluminum and asks that all employees
minimize paper wastes. Draft documents and internal communications are passed electronically.
Proposals are presented on recycled paper. Internal copies are kept electronically. Green means
more than customer deliverables at ECI.
ECI is among the first Energy Service companies in the U.S. to develop expertise
with Smart Grid technology. ECI analyzes electricity consumption profiles and can
engineer technology and Internet-based systems to optimize energy consumption.
Technology solutions focus on Demand Side Management and other strategies to lessen a facilities
energy signature. ECI’
s CEO is Chairman Emeritus of the Department of Energy GridWise
Architecture Council, a committee of industry leaders whose goal is to bring technology standards
and national attention to the Smart Grid. Efficient use of electricity will reduce customer energy
costs and carbon footprints and will also produce a more reliable electric grid enterprise to support
growing demand. www.gridwiseac.org
By applying building intelligence and communication technologies,
building owners are able to manage energy and control costs. Doing
this on a larger scale — multiple buildings and utilities communicate,
anticipate, and avoid power interruptions that can debilitate the
national grid system and costs consumers $180 billion per year. ECI
serves as the Buildings Champion for the Galvin Electricity Initiative.
The Mission is to create a power system which is environmentally
sound, resilient, and fuel-efficient and that empowers consumers. www.galvinpower.org/
VENDOR CERTIFICATIONS
Provide a copy of all current licenses, registrations and certifications issued by federal, state and local agencies, and any
other licenses, registrations or certifications from any other governmental entity with jurisdiction, allowing respondent to

applicable M/WBE, HUB, and manufacturer certifications for sales and service.

Performance Capability (30 Points)
1. Did you indicate which states you can deliver to under TAB 2, Question 1?
√ Yes
No
As multiple product lines are being offered, which ECI believes is of great benefit, it also
convolutes the presentation of service locations within the 50 states. ECI wishes to focus
solutions within a more inclusive environment; the southern states of California, Arizona,
Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. The company has and can provide design services for
integrated systems within additional states which can be executed by local certified installers. ECI
is open to discussions with TCPN to provide these extended services.
2. What is the capability of your company to respond to emergency orders?
After hours - 24/7/365 is part of general operating practice at ECI. Knowledgeable Staff respond
to incoming after-hours calls and step through system irregularities to determine the underlying
issue. ECI runs an award-winning state of the art Service Center at its’Head Quarters and
Member facility operating systems can be set up to allow monitoring and operation to occur from
the Center. This troubleshooting helps in the determination of the failure.
Product – Manufacturer product lines represented within this response have differentiating
emergency order requirements. In most instances ECI would ask for expedited freight charges to
be paid by the member. Of the three major manufacturers; Delta Controls, Tridium, and Schneider
Electric, only Schneider has an emergency order charge of 5% or minimum $10 charge.
Service –ECI serves a vast and open state and understands the complexity in response times as
they can vary greatly depending on the service area. Outside of special arrangements
emergency response time is dictated by the members location and any priority service
agreement, though the general rule of 4 business hours in metropolitan areas and 8 business
hours or next day for rurally located members.

Schneider Electric. For those products not available in local stock supplies, an emergency order
would be placed through the manufacturer.
Service Actions – The after-hours number provides technical assistance 24 hours, seven days a
week, and is staffed by experienced, systems knowledgeable personnel only. Many system
irregularities can be resolved without the necessity of dispatching field technicians. If required, the
caller and ECI On-call Staff make the determination of when and where a technician will be
dispatched.

clearly stated in writing.”? √ Yes
No
If not please explain.
6. What is your company’
s return and restocking policy? Are there any applicable fees?
ECI does not request a fee to restock materials and generally holds excess supplies to be used
on a future project. If the product is uncommon and the manufacturer imposes a restocking
charge, the customer would be expected to cover those fees as applicable. ECI would not apply a
markup to the manufacturers’fee. Delta Controls and Tridium have not charged ECI restocking
fees. Schneider Electric applies a 30% restocking fee.
Please provide a brief description and example.
IE: A purchased item which has quick turn-around would be held in ECI stock with no imposed
charge. A purchased item which requires return to the manufacturer with a 15% restock –the
customer would be asked to pay the exact return fee with no markup.
s history of meeting shipping and delivery timelines?
Most product lines which ECI distributes have an excellent record for on-time delivery. One
exception would be Lighting distributors which ECI believes would be used in a minimal nature if
at all due to the RFP scope.
8. Will your company be able to meet the one year warranty guarantee as stated on page 14 under
pricing? √ Yes
No
ECI offers a minimum one (1) year warranty on labor and materials for construction projects. Free
fee extended procurement warranties would be as dictated by the individual manufacturer product
line (12 product lines included). These warranty documents have been provided within the pricing
spreadsheet as requested. ECI offers extended warranties for services and products as specified.

ECI was recognized as one of SDM Magazine's Annual Top System
Integrators for six consecutive years. ECIs’strength includes integration
of systems into a unified Internet Protocol (IP) environment. With webbased IP Solutions customers can see interoperability through all
systems bringing an expanse of functionality to building automation and
enhanced building intelligence.
INTEGRATION KNOWLEDGE ECI is committed to non-proprietary systems and is actively engaged
with development of open standards. It is ECI’
s goal to deliver products which offer the highest
quality of service. This brings design and product options to TCPN members and minimizes system
limitations created by a single manufacturer product line. ECI maintains highly trained and certified
field technicians and engineering staff. ECI is active in Industry technological advances and sits on
numerous boards and holds memberships to Industry organizations. This knowledge offers
members turnkey solutions to retrofit and repair existing FMS. ECI has experience with .Net, XMLbased and SOAP services which can be fed into a single interconnected experience.
ECI offers BACnet®, Tridium™, and LonWorks™ integration which opens interoperability to a
myriad of legacy building systems. The proper selection of energy-efficient mechanical equipment,
lighting upgrades and DDC along with demand & supply management can substantially decrease a
facility’
s energy signature. Consideration is placed on best solution to meet the project goals at
hand. With offering a varied product line, ECI is able to fine-tune system design within the planning
process and strategically choose components which offer the greatest advantage. There are varying
levels of automation available and ECI has the experience to manufacture a system which can meet
desired integration and management while considering budget constraints.
ECI can update a buildings infrastructure to bring full systems interoperability and gain energy
efficiency through Enterprise Energy Management. ECI possesses the ability to capture data and
display it in a meaningful way to aide in decision making or offer real-time control to manage energy.
DDC and building automation technology are essential, but they must be deployed with a full
understanding of Smart Grid technology and system requirements.
ECI is a turnkey solutions provider and can offer services ranging from energy consultant,
investment-grade auditor, detailed mechanical equipment surveys, LEED design/build, CEM
engineering & installation, performance contracting, measurement & verification services,
monitoring, training, building automation systems service, integration, and energy management. ECI
will bring to TCPN members a leader in Industry knowledge and turnkey solutions for all building
automation systems.
ECI takes workable, proven technologies and enhances these technologies to provide interoperability, data security and accessibility in line with customer needs. Customers can see seamless
control; bringing quick response to environmental issues, situational system shutdowns, or special
event temperature control. ECI utilizes BACnet® as an option for systems integration. ECI’
s
ingenuity and the power of BACnet can bring functionality and enhancement features such as
equipment scheduling and knowledge tools for savings measurement verification.
One of the key challenges with interface to a myriad of systems; DDC, access, security, etc., is that
users must support five or more software packages on any one computer. Multi-vendor systems can
work as one, uniform system. By combining legacy DDC systems from multiple vendors together

under one unified umbrella, seamless control is possible. Customers gain interoperability of legacy
HVAC systems along with other building operations for end-to-end integration of all systems. Our
solutions offer cutting edge control and feature “True Building Automation Standards”. The storage
and import capabilities of data within an Energy Management System can only be realized within the
delivery system of the reporting, management, and access of information.
The examples below are given as evidence of ECI’
s innovation and functionality experience in
providing design/build integrated systems. ECI and its product Partners engage in collaborative
efforts to design and customize systems for special application.
IMPLEMENTATION EXAMPLE A great example of integrated systems would be the Summit at
Cottonwood office building which earned the first Buildy Award for best integration project. The
Buildy Awards were designed to increase awareness of the benefits to whole building integration,
and to honor North American facilities that demonstrate the vision of networked building systems
and strategies. This means effectively integrating a wide array of building systems and enabling
operations over corporate IT infrastructures. The integration featured DDC to the zone level, access
control, water-source heat pumps and a diverse set of special systems.
The Summit Office Building system revealed how networking diverse systems could be
accomplished: integrating legacy and new equipment with controls, unifying oversight of HVAC and
life safety, along with security, data networking, IT, and even wireless access for streaming audio
and video. The sophisticated system applies BACnet DDC at the boiler, cooling tower, and every
heat pump. ECI performed a multi-system cost analysis and offered a guarantee on system
performance, creating building efficiency and operational costs savings over the buildings life span.
ECI worked in concert with the building architect to create a smart, clean, green facility.
INTEGRATED SYSTEMS: Access was the first security technology integrated; yet the task was
simplified by using the DDC systems’capability for access control of exterior and interior doors. The
next step was to add 24/7 video surveillance for security, with pan/tilt/zoom cameras and virtual
tripwire software technology. The cameras offer auto iris control along with the ability to switch from
color to black and white for better nighttime imaging. This was a major enhancement in building
functionality. Adding access control was straightforward because most DDC manufacturers have
added that functionality to their base systems. This means the same programming tools and data
protocols can be used to simplify design and installation. Adding this video security system offered
much more value for the owner, but was more technically complex. Digital video recorders (DVR)
were integrated to allow for migration of data up to a corporate LAN and over the Internet. The
latest generation of DVR is really a server with ports for 16 cameras, a 480-gigabyte hard drive for
video archival, and on-board read/write compact disk drives to offload important data. These servers
can also upload data to secondary storage via the LAN and the Internet. The DVRs can detect
motion in the camera view and trigger alarms but, like all motion detection, this functionality is limited
and prone to false alarms. To significantly improve intrusion detection, ECI integrated sophisticated
MATE security software, which was developed in Israel, and is capable of creating virtual tripwires. A
virtual tripwire is a software line drawn across the camera’
s field of vision to identify, for example, a
property boundary. This software can also establish protected areas, track rate of speed or
direction, and perform facial recognition scans that can be integrated with access control. ECI has
developed an integration that allows for camera images to be streamed via wireless high-speed
Internet to tablet PCs in a police officer’
s or a security guard’
s car. This allows officers to be mobile
and still receive alarms. Further, they can see intruders and track their movements, making it
possible to choose the ideal moment for apprehension. With the pan/tilt/zoom function, cameras can
track intruders and zoom in for close-ups that can be streamed to another location for identification.
The fire technology is a tri-water system using the condenser water loop to the heat pumps for
sprinklers. The fire system is not true data integration. It is a proprietary fire network protocol used
when multiple panels are installed. There is a modem dial out to notify a monitoring center in the
event of alarm, and there is limited data sharing via physical DDC point interface to monitor water
temperature, pressure, and other conditions. ECI can provide evidence of Integration knowledge
through the recently installed Fire Alarm system at Albuquerque Academy. Addressable fire panels

interface to communication systems through a Notification System Workstation. Standard protocols
within the customized program trigger messages and alerts throughout the campus.
The Summit building Ethernet LAN is the backbone for all data communications, but the Internet is
the key to integration. Internet communications are implemented via T1 physical data
communication lines, as well as via Wireless Fidelity (WI-FI) high-speed Internet. At Summit, Internet
communication utilizes “.NET”a Microsoft solution for Web services. .NET technology enables the
creation and use of XML-based applications, processes, and websites as services that share and
combine information and functionality with each other by design, on any platform or smart device, to
provide tailored solutions. .Net can be used to achieve such Web services as a building Internet
portal. XML and SOAP services can be tailored to building managers’needs, and can
be fed into a single, integrated experience. The Summit also made use of WI-FI
for individual user interface via access points or hot spots for dashboard interface.
WI-FI was used for point-to-point Internet protocol tunneling between The Summit and
other sites. This allows Energy Control, a building tenant, to monitor, access, and
assist customers with control attributes or troubleshooting. Video and data were
streamed to sites over 12 miles away with a high-speed Internet connection. ECI
offers Web-hosted services for customers, and is also the ISP for building tenants. Data security is
important for an integration of Summit’
s scale, and it required a significant effort to address facility
data protection. IPSEC or Internet Protocol Security technology with 3-DES data encryption is
deployed to ensure that all interactions between the system, the dashboard, and the Web are
secure.
MANAGEMENT & CONTROL ECI performs facility management and security monitoring for the Summit
building since its construction. ECI’
s monitoring center for customer facility management systems is
located in this state of the art, intelligent building. ECI is able to provide remote management, control
and system alerts through the monitoring center for customer systems.
Systems established and programmed by ECI for alarm notification are generally based on alarm
importance. When a priority alarm is initiated, a notification is capable of being sent to an email
address, phone, text message or any combination. Low importance trouble logs or reviewed and
followed up on with the customer through set guidelines.
ECI’
s custom Dashboard is a tool to develop, manage, and
control energy initiatives and make informed decisions on
current status and future measures. ECI will evaluate member
needs and select a Dashboard from one of several options
including: ebiz, Delta, Tridium and others. This allows the user
to control integrated systems, review energy consumption and
set desired performance guidelines to determine effectiveness
of energy initiatives or review cost per square foot.
Dashboards are designed to monitor and control building systems from across town or across the
continent. Facilities can be set to send alarms to ECI’
s monitoring center 24/7. These trouble logs
are reviewed to recognize improper operation of mechanical and electrical equipment at the
customer site. Through customer-set parameters ECI will take corrective actions or relay concerns to
address system issues. This can be on a case by case basis or a set process for low or high level
corrective action.
The more robust the building automation, the more effective the results. Converting terabytes of
energy and building information is a major challenge and ECI can deliver systems designed to
change data into knowledge. The user can see an individual or building carbon footprint, see how
weather affects the building, review equipment efficiency, etc. Easy manipulation of touch screens or
monitors bring up building mechanical equipment, lighting, or temperatures and allow staff to
troubleshoot problems effectively. Users are able to manage sustainability in real time with easy
screen interaction. Benchmarks are established to evaluate building performance.
ECI can offer members any requested parameters for reporting, monitoring and managing Facility
Management Systems. ECI has experience with the installation of sub meters and sensors to
TCPN # 12-29

ENERGY CONTROL INC
TAB 5
monitor and control building power and automated systems down to the device. ECI provides
advanced analytical capability (including energy usage statistics, energy costs, and greenhouse gas
emissions) that enables comparisons of historical and real time usage patterns across Facilities,
Areas and equipment. This also includes the capability of tracking systematic or operational changes
for buildings through an event & tasks logging/tracking database tables associated with energy
usage and is mapped into trends analysis output tables and charts to help verify energy and financial
impact of specific changes.
e
biz is the ECI term for, Energy Business Intelligence, a secure, maintained system concept that
allows engineers and management secure access to every component of the organization's energy
systems within each of the various buildings/facilities, and become completely accessible from a
centralized location and or remotely with no added burden to the organization's IT staff, engineers or
management. Technology from numerous vendors can be deployed for this function.
By implementing this solution, members will utilize the continual improvement process to manage
energy resources and incorporate energy management into everyday business operations and
strategies. This process encompasses both the management and the technical elements of
managing energy. The effective management of energy requires both to be present and integrated.
The advanced "smart" meter and sensor net enables engineers to effectively "drill down and see
inside the walls”of a given facility throughout the organization's multiple worldwide locations. Realtime monitoring, management and control of the unified building systems greatly enhance local
engineers and managers ability to:
o Monitor, measure, manage and control energy use and cost – in kW and dollars. The EEMS
schedules various operations and energy usage to minimize local utility tariffs and demand
charges
o Monitor, manage and control equipment maintenance, malfunction, failure, downtime and other
energy system equipment related matters. The EEMS will identify, detect and send alerts
immediately (automatic notices by telephone, PDA, email, text, etc.), allowing for quick action
and diagnosis
o Model operational strategies to reduce emissions and energy usage (minimizing local utility
tariffs and demand charge dynamics)
IMPLEMENTATION EXAMPLE An example of an Energy Intelligence Smart Grid System would be the
project at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. This UNM integration included two phases of
a Department of Energy sponsored project, which consisted of analyzing electrical energy usage for
UNM’
s Main campus, and more specifically, the Mechanical Engineering facility which utilizes thermal
storage and solar energy, as well as Smart Grid technology. Thermal solar panels located on the roof
feed hot water to custom, super-insulated storage tanks through a solar absorption chiller. The chiller
takes 190◦F water and converts it to 42◦F chilled water which is used to cool the building.
The intended purpose is to estimate the potential of the UNM campus to respond to tariffs and
programs operated by the utility based upon current conditions on the electric grid by altering its energy
consumption characteristics. The Enterprise Energy Management System captures near real-time
energy data from 65 of the 200 buildings on the campus. EEMS converts building information data into
“key performance indicators”(KPI) or knowledge tools to assess energy performance, carbon footprint
and real-time building performance. UNM represents close to 2% of the local Grids total load. This
system also integrates building automation systems in 15 buildings which include demand response
sequences. Using these sequences UNM can alter consumption and respond to conditions on the grid
based on utility programs by reacting to and predicting power consumption during high demand time
periods to help meet sustainability needs (by providing power to the grid through its co-generation plant,
storage of utility products, etc.). The increased level of grid-interoperability is substantial and the project
will serve as a model to further technology for future smart-grid facilities.
The Mechanical Engineering Building along with 14 other buildings is designed to collect energy use
detail down to the equipment level. Fifty additional buildings bringing the total to approximately
4,956,172 square feet, are metered to analyze electric, steam, and chilled water use for the building.
Programmable Logic Controllers communicate with MODBUS protocol through converters in each

building. The GridWise project consisted of sub-metering for approx 43% of the campus buildings, the
software & monitoring equipment for EEMS, and software design for EEMS communication to the ME
Building Automation System.
UNM’
s central campus can draw approximately 20 MW of electricity at peak. Part of which is generated
locally using a 6 MW gas turbine installed during a 2001 renovation at the Ford Utilities Center. The
campus energy system is capable of producing electricity and recovering waste heat by producing
steam. This can be used for heating or for chilled water (through absorption units) pending on the
season. The co-generation plant currently meets approximately 40% of the campus electricity needs
and 65% of heating needs.
UNM estimates 3 MW of possible load shedding with the approximate doubling if VFD
motor control and lighting control were included in each building. System load shed is
estimated by analyzing electrical consumption, the co-generation plant capability heating and chilled water production, mechanical equipment systems and minimal
acceptable occupant discomfort levels. Complete assessment details are available for
public viewing through the US Department of Commerce; National Technical
Information Service at (800) 553-6847 [email protected] Report: SAND2002xxxx
This project has been featured in articles in Industry magazines which can be viewed from the ECI
website at www.energyctrl.com and has also received the Contracting Business design/build award.
BUILDING ENVIRONMENTS ECI places an emphasis on creating improved building environments while
lowering operating and energy costs. This is accomplished through a myriad of strategies including
life cycle analyses and repair evaluations with the primary goal of producing a positive return on
investment.
The building envelope generally relates to a long-term ROI and is not necessarily a component of
integrated system projects. An example of long term projects would be the architectural system of a
building, which typically involves long paybacks due to high cost. Normally such projects are not
feasible; walls, for example, are responsible for only 17% of the heat loss in a typical building. As a
result, making costly upgrades to wall systems is generally not considered when choosing most
advantageous energy-saving integration upgrades.
IMPLEMENTATION EXAMPLE Another example of experience with integration would be Cloudcroft
Middle/Elementary School. ECI has performed projects which include systems analysis, building
envelope repairs, telecommunications, lighting systems, HVAC, fire protection, access control,
intercom modifications and security systems.
ECI was asked to analyze control issues at the Elementary & Middle School Facility. ECI was able to
ascertain their main problem was due to an improperly sized boiler. ECI worked with a manufacturer
to determine the most efficient boiler for the school while considering the elevation along with BTU
requirements.
ECI provided Prime Contractor and mechanical/electrical services to CMS for a HVAC system
retrofit, plumbing, fire protection, cabling Infrastructure, and roofing. CMS was having major HVAC
problems from an incorrectly designed heating system. ECI was able to correct the problems for the
District. The system operates at an astonishing 90% efficiency. ECI replaced non-functioning
mechanical equipment, added gym cooling, and added a Direct Digital Control system (DDC)
utilizing Delta Controls BACnet®. This provides the facility operators a networked system control
station to review and modify system functions and temperatures in all the schools. ECI identified
roofing and plumbing issues and executed corrective repairs. The roof venting had been improperly
installed at initial construction.
ECI installed a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephone system, which is enabled to call out to
911 and designated staff in case of an emergency. Fiber-optic cables run underground to provide a
common link between schools. Upgrades to the fire protection system included connectivity to voice
systems. This system interoperability increases staff responsiveness to all the schools. In addition
ECI has also provided web-based surveillance.

ECI assisted the School District in acquiring ARRA grant funding for a lighting retrofit for the District.
Schools were re-lamped with more efficient T8 fluorescent lamps and ballasts. Gym Metal Halide
lamps were replaced with LED lighting. Street-pole lights were replaced with LED lamps with backup
electrical power. ECI provided monthly reporting and M&V services to EMNRD on behalf of the
School District as well as the collateral documentation for funding.

Energy Management ECI employs certified and trained staff to commission, manage, and monitor
integrated solutions. ECI has performed historical data analysis, M&V services and performance
reporting on efficiency measures. This has included multi-year capture of utility consumption data,
baseline determination, data analysis, ENERGY STAR tracking and program activation, emissions
evaluation, and customized energy management systems.
Turnover of an installation project requires the testing and commissioning of systems be performed
in the presence of the customer and reflect the designed parameters. ECI finds best results are
achieved when steps are taken to ensure the sharing of knowledge has been executed effectively.
A long term successful project must fulfill five major objectives that will be the primary focus of design
for a TCPN program. Retrofit projects must be:
a. Cost Effective: A project must be cost effective to receive further consideration. Experience of the
analyst and experience of the team contractors is Key in the development of measures. Value
engineering begins the concept to maximize project value and minimize expense.
b. Workable: Only proven technology will be considered for application. The simplest design to
accomplish the function is typically the most cost effective and easiest to operate.
c. Understandable: Long term understanding of what the Member is trying to accomplish and how it
is to be done prevents mis-operation, which in many cases, can be counter-productive.
d. Maintainable: A Design with maintenance and servicing in mind by involving operating personnel.
This is very necessary to maintain peak efficiencies and generally will not add cost to a project.
e. Flexible: While all the above criteria are important, one objective is the most important: System
and equipment must be able to adapt to future requirements.
Design cannot be created in a vacuum, as if only one measure is being implemented. Each measure or
group of measures must be impacted back to the central plant to determine the overall effect of the
project. Specific operational expertise and product preference will be incorporated into each design. All
of the above design criteria will become part of the training program established for any project.
TRAINING ECI believes proper training and maintenance is critical to the success of a project. This
applies to ECI staff as well as that of the customer. ECI will assist members in performing Industry
standard practices and maintenance of equipment to achieve peak performance and optimize
operations. Training is a vital element of any project as it is essential to ensure that equipment
operates as designed. ECI is committed to sell, deliver and provide support to TCPN and its
members including extensive training and technical support services. ECI has instituted a program
over the years which, encompasses comprehensive training within installation and service projects.
With ECI’
s training capabilities and a comprehensive on-site project management training program,
member staff will increase their knowledge and skill level in the operation of the facility’
s equipment.
ECI has nationally recognized training resources that teach seminars for trade associations and
private organizations as well as to direct customers.
For construction installation, training occurs at time of substantial completion and includes, but is not
limited to; mechanical and electrical equipment operation and maintenance, Dashboard
configuration & control sequence review, and related topics. Of key importance with Service training
is that this training will be scheduled at the customers’request to address any components of the
service repair/retrofit. The main goal is to ensure proper operation and maintenance awareness to
extend equipment effectiveness and longevity. Regular training sessions can be made an integral
part of any service agreement.
ECI offers support service agreements as well as full maintenance programs and follows Industry
practices and manufacturer guidelines to ensure equipment longevity.

temperature swings on the ground loop and higher efficiency compressors. A Delta Controls DDC
system using BACnet® was designed to optimize daily and annual schedules, and to ensure
comfortable learning environments during normal school hours. By integrating the systems into the
District Ethernet they provide knowledge tools necessary to perform savings measurement and
verification.
ECI has also upgraded DDC and HVAC systems within two additional schools and the
Administrative complex. Sub-meters have been put in place to monitor energy at the High School.
ECI has a Maintenance and Monitoring Contract on the DDC systems which ECI has installed at the
District. A Performance Contract with guaranteed savings is in its eighth year. APS has requested
ECI provide a proposal for full repair services for the District.

ECI designed and installed a BACnet based Open Automation system using Delta™ Controls
equipment in Carlsbad Environmental. The project consisted of a complete Facilities Management
and Control System using “DELTA™ CONTROL”Software Front-End and Graphics package for
control of AHU’
s, boilers, pumps, mixing valve, chiller, exhaust fans, perchloric acid wash down unit,
and room controllers for VAV fan powered boxes with reheat. ECI also replaced reheat valves and
on VAV boxes. All above controls and controllers communicate by “DELTA ORCAview”via Carlsbad
Environmental Ethernet. This is a critical environment and the site contains BSL3 labs in which ECI
has created negative static conditions for safety of the facility and its’personnel.
ECI has provided full maintenance service and remote monitoring of the DDC automation control
system. This service is scheduled to re-engage after the warranty period. As required, ECI provides
repair services of chillers, pumps, invertors, air handlers, terminal units and associated hot water and
cold water zone valves.
CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE – Albuquerque, NM

Facilities Energy Manager: Ken Mitchell; (505) 768-5362
ECI developed software specific to the needs of the COA to ensure smooth integration of diverse
systems and enable the City to monitor and manage energy functions in order to optimize energy
efficiency. This is principally an integration task that involves knowledge-based system interaction to
ensure that the City is able to demonstrate the effectiveness of energy management or reduction
technology. ECI has incorporated technologies such as the Transient Energy System Simulation
Tool (TRNSYS) and the Global Energy Management System (GEMS) to offer the COA mechanisms
in which to manipulate and analyze real time energy use. The Alvarado Transportation Terminal and
Plaza del Sol will be the first facilities to gain from this collaboration. The goal is for COA to see their
carbon footprint and take measures in real time to reduce their energy consumption.
ECI’
s knowledge of full system integration lends itself to creating ever more efficient means of
controlling building automation systems. By inclusion of a Demand Response program event,
building operators or their automated control systems make adjustments to building operations with
the goal of reducing the building’
s electric load during times of the electric system’
s peak electric
usage and peak cost cycles. Smart Grid sequences create optimal building operation. ECI installed
a Delta Controls direct, digital control (DDC) system to create easy functionality and system
responsiveness. The existing mechanical system useful life was weighted against efficiency
capabilities to determine what offered the best return on investment to the City. Determinations
were in keeping with expectations of energy reduction goals. The use of Variable Frequency Drives
(VFD’
s) on supply and return fans offered a great return on investment to the City. Along with other
efficiency efforts such as curbing fan use during peak cost cycles and better insulated windows, the
City can use measurement and verification data to confirm their efforts have materialized into real
savings.
Acting on behalf of the City of Albuquerque, ECI established interconnection to the local utility
meters and installed sub-meters with a BACnet interface. ECI engineers created points to tie the
Delta Controls BACnet into the existing automation system.

the Tridium JACE 200 Express. The intent is to provide an 8 mega-watt reduction in electrical
consumption during critical high-demand periods to meet City sustainability needs.
ECI provides configuration and bench-testing of the JACE systems before the actual installation
occurs. This process was established to streamline the actual system implementation in which the
JACE will be enabled to communicate with the building automation system to respond to set shed
sequences. It will also be tied to ECI’
s monitoring network in Albuquerque, NM to allow for remote
management and verification.

and DDC modifications at 14 schools, access controls, intercom, fire and burglar alarm
modifications, and the addition of surveillance cameras within 15 schools. ECI is currently installing
sub-meters at the Amy Biehl Community School to monitor energy. ECI designed a custom
dashboard for the energy manager and touch-screen monitors for learning tools and community
interface.
The Santa Fe Public Schools uses Delta Controls BACnet® Integration. A BACnet® Testing
Laboratory (BTL)-listed system is applied across the district. At the district office, the system
optimizes control of heating and cooling, and is part of a fully redundant computer room airconditioning system. A web-based interface monitors critical computer room conditions, while a
controller provides temperature control and lead lag on the units to maintain this critical environment
and avoid downtime due to environmental conditions. Even more importantly, this controller allows
for interface via Ethernet, which makes it possible to communicate over the district network. The BTL
ensures that devices conform to the requirements of the applicable standard device profile and lists
products. By specifying the standard device profiles, it is possible for multiple vendors to compete for
future projects.
ECI has maintenance contracts with SFPS to clean cooling towers, monitor HVAC and DDC

Smarter Energy Usage
Produced by Mike Armstrong & Written by Eric Gundberg
There is no doubt that energy is a topic of continuous,
sometimes contentious debate in the United States. Oil prices
rise ever higher, fracking gives the future of natural gas pause,
coal sparks conversation on pollution, and the recent tsunami
in Japan highlights potential issues with nuclear power.
There is one company in the U.S., however, that is at the
forefront of a movement within the industry to make the
nation’s energy consumption more efficient,
and therefore put less stress on fossil fuels.
That company is Energy Control Inc. (ECI),
headquartered in Rio Rancho, N.M., with a
branch office in Las Cruces.
ECI was founded in 1976, and under the
leadership of President Jack McGowan
the company has been providing energy
engineering and building control services
since its inception. In the past three-plus
decades the company has become a premiere,
comprehensive integrator of environmental
comfort, security/access control, microgrid
and intelligent building technology. It
provides its clients with technology-driven
design-build solutions for commercial
buildings, educational institutions and
government and industrial projects. The
company specializes in the management and
integration of building automation systems.
In 2010 ECI became a part of the Denver,
Colo.-based OpTerra Energy Group, which
uses its combined regional resources to
provide clean energy conservation options to
key markets. OpTerra’s best practices fall in
line with what has always been a core focus
of ECI, acquired because the company is
already a market leader.

“We’ve created a business model around energy-related
projects. We design-build our projects and we work with
third-party financing to make those projects a reality,”
explains McGowan. “Our vision going forward is that the
energy element in the commercial building industry is
in a significant state of change. We are at the forefront of
implementing smart-grid activities.”
Doing Laundry While You Sleep
A smart grid, for those that aren’t familiar with the term,
is an intelligent monitoring system that analyzes and
keeps track of the electricity demands flowing between
energy generators and consumers. It has the capability
to efficiently and intelligently integrate renewable
electricity, like wind or solar, as well. Using information
gathered on the times and amounts of system behavior,
administrators can automate multi-building facilities to
shut down non-essential machinery during peak hours,
among many other functions.
For example, in a university residential complex
washing machines could be set to only operate during
off-peak hours. This results in a reduced economic and
environmental impact, as well as an improvement in
system reliability, quality and security. McGowan acts
as Chairman Emeritus of the Department of the Energy
GridWise Architecture Council, a committer of industry
leaders whose goal is to bring technology standards and
national attention to the smart grid, which McGowan
believes to be a major facet of the energy industry’s
future.
“John Chambers, the CEO of Cisco [a $40 billion
company] said he thinks that smart grids are going to
be even bigger than the Internet. The key to a smart grid
is that you have to understand buildings. We do basic types
of energy-efficiency projects, like changing overhead lighting
to LED [Light-Emitting Diodes] and high-efficiency HVAC
systems, but we want to bundle that all together so the building
operates more efficiently as a whole,” reveals McGowan.
ECI’s overriding business philosophy is to develop long-term
relationships through offering organizational effectiveness
that reduces energy costs for clients. This is done by taking
into account how entire facilities can be managed through
LAN and Ethernet connections, allowing everything from
security and and alarm to lighting and HVAC to be more
efficient solutions to the problem of how to optimize building
performance and minimize carbon footprint. Designing and
deploying Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design
(LEED)-minded technologies for safe and comfortable
environments, ECI is a driving force that can increase
efficiency across an entire campus.
ECI’s commitment to redefining how energy is managed in
this country has drawn the company praise from like-minded
companies. For example, Ashcraft Mechanical Inc. worked
with ECI on a ground-source heat pump system during
construction of the Amy Biehl school in Santa Fe, N.M.,
and Ashcraft’s Tim Gormley applauds ECI’s efforts to lead
new technology adoption. “They’re redefining the market …
being at the forefront of design considerations, and taking
that through the practical applications,” he says. “They’re
active at a regional and national level, participating in forums
at an international level and putting concepts into action. As
they get acceptability of the systems they are recommending,
we are evolving our technical abilities to be able to implement
those concepts.”
Award-winning Project
ECI has worked on projects from coast to coast, but a recent
project the company completed at the University of New
Mexico (UNM) in Albuquerque, N.M., has been generating
a lot of press. The university is one of Public Service Co. of
New Mexico’s (PNM) largest consumers of energy, so the
university, PNM and ECI collaborated on a project that
would tie all of UNM’s 200-plus buildings onto a smart grid.
“UNM provided us with an ideal smart-grid test case, because
it already had so much smart technology in place, and it
has some solar systems and natural gas generators that can
produce more than six megawatts of electricity on campus,”
McGowan was quoted as saying. ECI helped UNM assess
and upgrade smart technology on campus and helped build
the web portal that integrated the monitoring system with
PNM’s computers.
The design-build project leveraged the existing technologies
with new technology and the Internet-based monitoring.

An “energy business intelligence tool” from Hunt Energy
IQ, called GEMS (Global Energy Management and
Sustainability), provides full information for over 100
buildings on campus and is reported in real-time. Energy data
from 84 other buildings is reported in 20-minute intervals
and can report current energy consumption or cost-persquare foot.
“This system provides an intuitive management tool for
building owners to understand the impact of energy and to
provide for real-time management of building performance,”
McGowan told a local
journal. “The system also
integrates multiple BACnet
[Building and Automation
Control network] and legacy
automation
systems
to
provide seamless interface
to building operations. This
smart campus can use this
tool to manage energy use,
energy cost, and its carbon
footprint.”
This project, which was
awarded
Contracting
Business Journal’s 2009
Project of the Year Award,
stands as a notable example of
ECI's fundamental approach
toward funding projects.
“After the markets melted
down, funding became a very
big issue for us and everyone
else in the industry,” explains
McGowan. “We went back
to our core, which is finding
a third party to provide
the financing. The UNM
project was funded by the
Department
of
Energy
and PNM. Our goal on
every project is to have a
self-funded project with
no money upfront and we
provide our customers with
a revenue stream from the
energy savings.”

By Ron Rajecki, Contributing Editor
An intelligent energy system at the University of
New Mexico proves electric systems
ystems can be
designed to be more reliable and efficient. Should
there ever come a time when cities of the future are
powered by “smart grids,”projects such as one
undertaken by Energy Control, Inc. (ECI), at the
University of New Mexico (UNM), will be looked
upon as one that led the way to that future. For the
present time, we gladly award this project with a
2009 ContractingBusiness.com Design/Build
award.
The University of New Mexico smart grid leverages
smart buildings, smart meters, thermal storage,
renewable energy, and distributed generation.
For those not familiar with the concept of the smart
grid, Jack McGowan, CEM, CEO of ECI, is happy
to provide a brief primer. After all, he was a
founding member of the U.S. Department of Energy
GridWise Architecture Council, and served as its
chairman for two years.
“August 14, 2003, when the eastern seaboard of
North America went dark, was a significant date in
electric industry history that captured the attention
of both the
he media and Capitol Hill,”McGowan
says. “It quickly became evident however, that the
blackout was a symptom of a much larger problem,
which many have begun calling the ‘energy perfect
storm.’This problem begins with an aging electric
infrastructure that has not had major technological
advancement in a nearly a half century. It is
exacerbated by a U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE)-projected
projected 40% increase in electric demand
over the next 20 years that will cost utilities a
projected $3 trillion. That includes the impact of
cap and trade, which is part of the third element of
this perfect storm: climate change.”
Thus was born GridWise™, an initiative created
under the DOE Office of Electricity and Energy
Reliability. The focus of GridWise is on stimulating
stimulati
the development and adoption of an intelligent
energy system, or smart grid, to make the U.S.
electric system more reliable and efficient.
UNM was an ideal site for a
GridWise project because of
ongoing technology
investments the university
had made. UNM
UN had built a
mechanical engineering
building in the 1980s
equipped with solar thermal
and thermal storage, but the
systems had fallen into
disrepair and were not
operating. In fact, Andrea
Mammoli, Ph.D., associate
professor of engineering at
UNM, stepped up to lead a
team of academics and facility engineers to work
with ECI on the design and construction of this
project. The university had also invested in a smart
meter system, a district heating and cooling plant
with power generation capability of eight
megawatts of combined heat and power, and
numerous automation and integration technology
projects over several decades.
The advent of smart grid, according to McGowan,
presented an opportunity for a truly cutting-edge
cutting
Design/Build energy project, and the ultimate Green
Building system. Using this rationale, ECI was
successful in acquiring around $600,000 in prepre
stimulus DOE funding, partially matched by UNM

and the state. “This was a perfect example of the
type of design/build shovel-ready
ready projects sought
under the American Reinvestment and Recovery
Act,”McGowan says.
This Design/Build energy technology project
leverages existing technologies that have been
implemented at UNM, with new technology and
Internet-based web services. “This unique Design
/Build project leveraged wide ranging relationships
and skills,”according to McGowan. “ECI has had a
strong presence in building automation and in the
smart grid market since its inception. We
recognized the connection between smart buildings
and smart grid,
rid, and saw how this market offered
explosive opportunity for design build solutions that
blend automation, system integration,
mechanical/renewable energy systems, and
efficiency.”
An Intuitive Tool to Understand Energy Use
This Design/Build energy technology project
leverages existing technologies that have been
implemented at UNM, with new technology and
Internet-based
based web services. The project touches
many campus buildings with automation, metering
and integration. In addition, an “energy busines
business
intelligence tool”from Hunt Energy IQ, called
GEMS (Global Energy Management and
Sustainability) provides full information for more
than 100 buildings. Energy data from the
mechanical engineering building is reported in real
realtime through an integration using Tridium Java
Application Control Engine (JACE) and Delta
Control technology. Energy data from 84 other
buildings is reported in less
than 20-minute intervals
and can be displayed in key
performance indicators
such as energy
consumption or cost per
square foot.
“This system provides an
intuitive management tool
for building owners to
understand the impact of
energy on their business
and to provide for real-time
manage of building performance,”McGowan says.
“The system also integrates multiple BACnet and
a
legacy automation systems to provide seamless
interface to building operations. This smart campus
can use this tool to manage energy use, energy cost,
and its carbon footprint.”
Jack McGowan: Smart buildings use energy in a
clean and efficient way, to become green
buildings.
ECI worked with Hunt Energy IQ, and Delta
controls to deploy a seamless BACnet integration
between the BACnet systems in more than a dozen
campus buildings and GEMS. A similar integration
was executed between Tridium JACE and GEMS to
t
access Btu energy data from systems that pick up
this data from industrial controls on HVAC.
The project deploys automated demand response.
This integrates utility systems with home and
building control and energy information systems.
Technical development
ent and software programming
at each customer's site may include a smart
thermostat or a building automation system
programmed to shut down equipment and reduce
electrical demand if it receives a signal to do so. Or,
the thermostat will signal a start-up
start
of the CHP
system to generate power on campus when the
utility grid can't keep up with demand.
“The UNM project was designed to show how this
level of performance data could be combined with
automation and energy technology to provide a new
generation of smart green building. We believe that
smart buildings use energy in a clean and efficient
way, to become green buildings,”McGowan says.

The site's “ultimate”green building is — not
surprisingly — the mechanical engineering
building. As part of this project, ECI's team rebuilt
the solar thermal system with vacuum tube
collectors and 400,000 gallons of thermal storage in
the building. The project completely upgraded the
system, added a 200-ton absorption chiller, and
connected the building to the campus chilled water
loop. As a result of the work in just this one
building, the project can actually take the entire
building “off the grid”for cooling, with the
exception of some fan and pump loads. Centennial
Engineering, the newest building on campus, was
designed for optimum energy performance
including a connection to the thermal storage loop
from the mechanical energy building.

generation of smart building/smart grid strategies
for energy management and load management, to
support the power grid. It provides a great example

about working with ECI is that doing practical
things like this on buildings and energy systems
really fires up students,”he says.
“There are a lot of students that are really interested
in this topic, and I think the interaction with ECI
has been instrumental in sparking that interest. This
is where the people who are going to be doing this
type of work in the future are going to see it.”
Inspiring Future Generations
Mammoli says working with McGowan and the
team from ECI has helped him see the real-world,
practical applications of the theories that underlie
the smart grid. And while no one really knows
exactly what a city-wide smart grid is going to look
like, or how it will ultimately function, putting one
on a college campus is the right thing to do.
“The campus is like a small city, so it's very
exciting to look at the potential of smart grids, and
to think that someday we'll say this is one of the
places where it all started,”Mammoli says.
Mammoli is not the only one excited by the

Energy Control grows profits with smart building
BY KEVIN ROBINSON-AVILA NMBF STAFF
Jack McGowan is helping to create a
completely new paradigm in the world of
building management.
As chairman of the national GridWise
Architectural Council, McGowan is contributing to the design of a national strategy to
cut energy waste in buildings across the board
while strengthening the country’s electric grid.
In the process, McGowan is generating a lot
more potential business for his New Mexico
firm, Energy Control Inc. (ECI), which designs
“smart buildings” that run more efficiently
with less energy. This fall, McGowan expects
to sign ECI’s first out-of-state contracts since
the business launched in 1975.
“We’re a New Mexico company that
focuses on the New Mexico market but, as a
result of my work at the national level, we’re
being approached by large companies that
want to use our services,” McGowan says.
“We’re poised to expand outside New Mexico
for the first time. That’s a major milestone for
the company.”
Even without leaving the state, ECI has
earned a glowing reputation nationally thanks
to its success in redesigning buildings around
New Mexico. The company has received two
national “Buildy Awards” since 2004 for its
smart-building designs from Builconn, an
organization that promotes fully integrated
buildings. SDM Magazine, a trade publication,
consistently recognizes ECI as one of the Top
100 System Integrators in North America.
McGowan himself was admitted to the
International Energy Managers Hall of Fame
in 2003 by the Association of Energy
Engineers.
“He’s a national leader on the issue of
energy efficiency,” says Mayor Martin
Chávez. “He commands respect in this
industry.”
Karen Cook, president of the sustainable
economic development consultancy EECOM
Inc., says McGowan has been a driving force
in Albuquerque efforts to promote green
buildings.
“He’s working nationally to connect smart
grids with smart buildings, and to bring that
initiative to New Mexico,”Cook says. “Under
Mayor Ch ávez, Albuquerque is becoming a
national leader in the sustainable energy arena,
and Jack has contributed a lot to that.”
McGowan is the only New Mexican
appointed to the 13-member GridWise Council, which the Department of Energy formed in
2003 after rolling blackouts occurred on the
East Coast.
The Council aims to draw government and
industry together to create an “intelligent”
national grid that can broker energy supplies
based on customer need, strategically targeting
delivery shutdowns when the grid is
overloaded.
For that to work, buildings across the board
must become more energy efficient, with fully
integrated computer controls that allow
managers to easily redirect scarce resources as
needed.
With McGowan’s help, the DOE has
granted $600,000 for a pilot-demo project at
the University of New Mexico that will use a
solar energy system to save electricity and
allow Public Service Co. of New Mexico, at
times, to take an entire building off the grid.
“With smart buildings and an intelligent
grid, PNM can look at customer demand for
energy to more efficiently distributed
electricity,”McGowan says.
In April, with encouragement from
McGowan, Ch ávez became the first mayor
Las Cruces 575 521 3104
nationwide to sign the new GridWise
Constitution.
When this initiative moves forward across
the country, many won’t know who the people
were that made it happen,”Chávez says. “Jack
is one of those people.”
As president of ECI, McGowan has already
made it happen quite effectively in buildings
throughout New Mexico.
The company, originally created by
engineer A. Bruce Cantrell, was mostly a subcontractor for heating and cooling control
systems until 2001, when McGowan joined
the firm.
McGowan brought with him expertise in
“systems integration”, which creates smart
buildings by connecting and automating all
building management ― from heating and air
conditioning to lighting, security and fire
prevention ― under a single, online computer
umbrella. Under ECI’s integrated systems,
building technicians can control temperatures,
security cameras and all other systems with
the stroke of a computer button, from virtually
anywhere in the world.
“That means it’s available for management
and communication through the Internet
anytime, anywhere,”McGowan says.
ECI has set up such systems for public and
commercial buildings across the state, such as
the Heart Hospital of New Mexico, Albuquerque
Academy, Don Chalmers Ford, New Mexico
State University and many K-12 public
schools.
Under McGowan’s leadership, company
revenue has grown from $3.2 million in 2003
to just over $10 million in 2006. McGowan
projects $12 million in sales this year.
“We’ve gone from being a subcontractor on
jobs to being the prime contractor for energy
systems,”McGowan says. “The key to ECI’s
growth is our consultative approach with
clients. We provide customized solutions.”
Cantrell retired in 2004 from ECI, although
he remains on the board. As majority
shareholder, McGowan now controls the firm;
there are two minority shareholders.
ECI now is concentrating heavily on
contracts with public schools. The company
helps to redesign systems for school districts
across the state, such as Santa Fe,
Alamogordo, and Artesia.
ECI just finished renovating the heating and
cooling structures at a high school and an
elementary school in Alamogordo. It led a
team to design and install geothermal systems
at both schools, and it integrated all building
management into the company’s flagship
blueprint for central, online control.
The Alamogordo Public Schools invested $9
million in the redesign at both schools, say
Dave Flood, director of operations and
transportation.
“It’s a higher up-front cost than a
conventional system, but over the life cycle of
the system it will be no more expensive,”
Flood says. “In fact, it will probably be less
expensive because of the energy savings.”
Flood says the district hired ECI because it
provides a turnkey solution for building
management.
“They’re kind of a one-stop shop for
engineering, design, installation, control and
maintenance,” Flood says. “I’m just tickled
pink. My hope is to install the same systems in
all 16 schools in the district.”

COUNTY OF SONOMA
COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY PROJECT
Following a rigorous qualification based selection process and the requirements of Government Code Section
4217, the Board of Supervisors authorized a contract with Aircon Energy to act as the County’s Energy Services
Company for the purpose of conducting an Investment Grade Audit of County facilities as part of the County’s Climate
Protection Action Plan. The Audit analyzed the energy usage of County facilities and proposed specific viable Energy
Efficiency Measures to reduce energy usage. More specifically as the County’s partner, Aircon Energy’s role is to
define, design, and implement potential energy efficiency and clean generation
projects for the County, with the end goal being greenhouse gas emissions

“The ability to generate our own clean energy is a huge step forward in our efforts to
lower our greenhouse gas emissions,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Paul
Kelley. “The fact that the cell will save a substantial amount of money is, of course,
another tremendous plus. This project is good for both the environment and the
county’s bottom line,” Kelley said.

Financing Arrangements
Project was developed that includes 38 of these Measures at 24 buildings.
Lease Purchase
Improvements to the facilities include: Chillers, Boilers and other Central Plant
Equipment Replacements, Lighting Systems Design and Retrofit, Air
Distribution Systems Upgrades, Automation and Control Improvements,
Detention Flush Control and Laundry Water Conservation Devices. The crown jewel of the project is a
1.4megawatt fuel cell system that will provide electricity and hot water to the entire Sonoma County main
campus. Fuel cells are among the cleanest, most reliable sources of power generation, providing continuous
high quality power 24 hours a day, with ultra-low emissions and quiet operation. In addition to the electricity
the heat byproduct is incorporated into the building heating feed water loop.
The result of the project is:
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions reductions estimated at 6,805 tons annually
• Facility improvements and reduced capital liability
• A Self Funding program that places no burden on the citizens of Sonoma County
