Mario,

 

EMS Controls (David Hardin’s group) is working on a controls upgrade at Micro Nano. I am trying to connect Ayush (cc’d) with someone who can discuss the engineering on the ESCO project and potential ECM’s that were evaluated but ultimately not included in the project. Are you a good contact for this or should I reach out to GBA (Mike/Tim)?

 

Thanks,

 

Amber Perfetti

Amber,

 

I think Mike would be best.  I don’t have access to any of the work we did with ESG.  Maybe Jim C can help as well ?

Hey Amber,

 

Thanks for getting this conversation started. Can you share Mike and Jim’s email ID’s? I can try contacting them.

 

Thank you,

Ayush

Dear Jim and Mike,

 

EMS Controls (David Hardin’s group) is working on a controls upgrade project at Micro Nano. Is there someone with whom we can discuss the potential ECM’s that were evaluated but ultimately not included in the ESCO project?

 

Thank you,

Hey David,

 

Below is the list of unfunded ECMs and deferred maintenance items that were considered but not acted upon by ESCO.

 

Thank you,

Ayush,

 

This is useful information and provides a starting point.

 

Thanks

 

Hey everyone,

 

Here is some info from Mike McDermott from their ESCO review.
