2 A Vocabulary for Measurement The Return on Physical Assets ROPA SM The annual investment needed to ensure buildings will properly perform and reach their useful life Keep-Up Costs The accumulated backlog of repair and modernization needs and the definition of resource capacity to correct them. Catch-Up Costs The effectiveness of the facilities operating budget, staffing, supervision, and energy management The measure of service process, the maintenance quality of space and systems, and the customers opinion of service delivery Annual Stewardship Asset Reinvestment Operating Effectiveness Service Asset Value Change Operations Success Peers: 2

4 Key Observations E&G and Auxiliary Analysis Balanced Age Profile Millersville s renovation strategy creates a favorably balanced age profile. Shift in Capital Investment Strategy A shift in investment strategy towards new space creates a decreased focus on existing space. There is a need to create an institutional recurring fund for facilities so that Millersville can keep-up with annual needs instead of relying on the catch-up model. The impact of decreasing capital investment has been growth of the backlog. Staffing Changes in Operations Although Millersville has lost some employees, the institution is still covering less space per employee than the PASSHE peer averages for maintenance and custodial. Higher people costs drive operational costs above the PASSHE average. Energy Consumption Shift from electric heat to fossil has cost advantages. 4

10 Complex Buildings on Millersville s Campus Millersville has the second highest tech rating of PASSHE system Consequences of a Higher Tech Rating: Buildings cost more to maintain Trades workers require more experience/training Materials used to maintain buildings tend to be more expensive 10

11 Growth of Campus Density 9% growth in density since 2003 increases demands on campus facilities Consequences of a Higher Density Factor: Additional custodial staff and materials tend to be required to handle the increased demands on dense campuses. Maintenance demands increase with dense campuses due to the added wear and tear on the facilities. 11

38 Conclusion 38

39 Concluding Comments Facilities MB&A Space Profile: Renovations have helped maintain a campus that is younger than peers. FY2011 Annual Stewardship Capital Investments: A large portion of capital investment has been spent on new space. Since FY06, capital investments into existing space has decreased 70%. There is a growing need to create an institutional fund for recurring capital to keep-up with the growing needs of campus. Operations: A loss of employees creates a decreasing operating budget. Millersville has a high tech rating and high building intensity; however, operational expenditures are still higher than PASSHE average. Energy profile remains dominated by electric; however, a shift is starting to occur to fossil. Asset Reinvestment Service Operating Effectiveness 39

72 32 Concluding Comments Suggestions to Reach Out-Performing Carbon Solutions - Millersville Sightlines 2010 BUILDING EFFICIENCY Impact Very High Invest in lowering purchased electricity, such as building improvements, fuel switch, or PV installation Develop a capital funding plan that emphasizes the energy-related DM needs of campus In-Line RENEWABLE ENERGY Impact High Develop on-site renewable energy installations (Photovoltaic, Solar DHW). Under- Performing Out- Performing COMMUTING Impact Moderate Commuting has been significantly cut within the past year, which reflects upon the scope 3 emissions Work with local community to entice commuters closer to campus to reduce trip distances. Continue to support and enhance institutional policies that incentivize cleaner commuting modes OFFSET POLICIES Impact High At a state level, PASSHE has taken the initiative to invest in Renewable Energy Offsets to carbon emissions Seek further opportunities for local carbon offsets that provide both GHG reductions and educational opportunities for campus community Go-Green MB&A Emissions Gross Emissions (per 1,000 GSF): Energy Consumption (BTUs/GSF): Gross Emissions (per Student): FY2011 Peer Avg. Database , , ,

73 34 Suggestions for Further Analysis These Data Pieces Will Provide Better Results Sightlines 2010 Last commuting survey took place in FY09. We should attempt another survey this year or in FY12. To ensure more accurate data, it would be helpful to have directly financed travel broken out by categories in an electronic version. During construction projects, the contractor will bill the customer for materials disposed, and often this number has recycling figure attached. If this number were obtained, it would greatly enhance Millersville s recycling figures. We still need credit hours for FY10, and FY11. Go-Green MB&A
