21. Features/Pain/Solution Avoid Legacy Rip out & replacement of existing controls  Excessive time and labor costs  Unable to utilize features of new technologies E: When renovating or installing new space Q: would it help if P: You and your staff A: could reuse and improve your existing investment in your controls system by integrating the old system with the new one? Real-time energy management  Incur high peaks and associated costs  No visibility to energy consumption patterns  No notification of unfavorable events  Penalties throughout the year  Run equipment when not needed  Higher maintenance costs E: On an ongoing basis Q: would it help if P: control network A: could monitor signals directly from the utility, compare them to a pre-set model in real-time, then could command electrical loads on and off reducing excessive utility costs? Web-based, thin client interface (common interface across multiple systems)  Slow response time  Higher training costs  Higher maintenance costs  Increased travel time  Not utilizing remote resources efficiently E: When needing to monitor or control your systems Q: would it also help if P: any authorized personnel A: could access all systems with one common user-interface, via a web-browser, from anywhere at anytime? Benchmarking building performance  Don’t know where to invest time or money  Don’t understand best practices for start up, shut down, scheduling, maintenance.  Misallocation of costs  Miscalculation of ROI E: At any time Q: would it be helpful if P: You and your team A: could easily identify your worst performing building by running a report on your browser, which compares the data collected from all your facilities? Features/Capabilities:Usage Scenarios

22. Diagnostic questions developed from analyzing pain, and features that provide a solution Maximizing Existing Investment What is the impact on your building systems when you add space? Renovate space? Do you expect to have to replace your existing systems?, will you be able to get competitive proposals? Lead to a significant investment? Do you feel you got the right return on that original investment? E: When renovating or installing new space Q: would it help if P: You and your staff A: could maximize the value of your existing controls system investment by reusing it, while upgrading with new technology? Energy Costs Are energy costs a major part of your operating budget? Have you ever had to pay penalties for excessive peaks? How much? Have you ever had equipment run when it shouldn’t have? Example? How did you find out? When? E: On an ongoing basis Q: would it help if P: your controls system A: could monitor energy consumption in real-time, then automatically adjust electrical loads and set-points to reduce utility costs? Identify Inefficiencies/Allocate Resources How do you track energy data? Across multiple facilities? Do you have any metrics to rate building performance? Do you have the right information to determine how to allocate capital expenditures? Resources? E: At any time Q: would it be helpful if P: You and your team A: could easily identify your worst performing buildings by running a report on your browser, which compares the data collected from all your facilities? Operational Efficiency How do you deploy your maintenance resources across facilities? Do you have to duplicate skill sets at each facility? Can you leverage your best talent? Even if they are remote? What is your typical response time? Are you and your tenants satisfied with that? Do you pay overtime or on-call charges for employees or contractors to come to the facility at off hours to respond to problems? How often, how much. Does it present any problems? E: When you need to monitor your building systems, respond to alarms, or make changes to your controls system, Q: would it help if P: any authorized personnel A: could access and diagnose all systems with one common user-interface, via a web-browser, from anywhere at anytime?
