  1. 2011 SMA Energy Bowl Final Results and Awards Joe Abernathy President, SMA VP of Stadium Operations Busch Stadium February 8, 2012

  2. What is the Energy Bowl? • An energy efficiency competition in which SMA member venues competed to reduce their 2011 energy consumption. • Participants tracked 2011 energy use and compared it to 2010 energy consumption using EPA ENERGY STAR’s free measurement and tracking tool, Portfolio Manager. energystar.gov/portfoliomanager • Achievement is based on percent reduction in energy use intensity (kBtu/sf).

  3. Participating Venues • Rangers Ballpark in Arlington • Cleveland Browns Stadium • CenturyLink Field • Ralph Wilson Stadium • Target Field • Georgia Dome • PGE Park • MetLife Stadium • M&T Bank Stadium • Progressive Field • Miller Park • Busch Stadium • Chase Field • Safeco Field • PNC Park • Turner Field • Tropicana Field • Great American Ball Park • Nationals Park • Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium

  4. 2011 SMA Energy Bowl Champions Honorable Mention (percent reduction ≥ 10%)Nationals Park (-14.6%) Target Field (-10.9%) Overall Champion: Tropicana Field (-16.6%) NFL Champion: MetLife Stadium(-13.3%) MLB Champion: Tropicana Field (-16.6%)

  5. Aggregate Results • Participants collectively reduced energy consumption by 50 million kBtu, equivalent to the: • Electricity needed to light almost 7,500 homes annually • Greenhouse gas emissions generated from nearly 2,000 cars per year • Generated cost savings over $1 million • Ranged from $40K - $588K

  6. Energy Metrics

  7. Best Practices • Tropicana Field • Enhanced management and operational controls with their Building Automation System • Computer now automatically controls all fans based on temperature and humidity • System previously ran at either 100% or was off. Now it can run at 50% • MetLife Stadium • Focused on improving operational controls and systems to maximize energy efficiency, such as controls for: • Lighting (stadium and parking lots) • Condenser water system • Air handling units

  8. Best Practices • Target Field • Maximized the Building Automation System • Replaced lighting systems with LED or fluorescents • Re-commissioned HVAC systems • Implemented a “winterization” mode to shut off unnecessary equipment during the off-season. • Nationals Park • Close monitoring via energy management system during non-game days and in unoccupied spaces • Regular analysis of utility bills

  9. Congratulations to all participants!
