             CHALLENGES:
             •  Capabilities and conditions vary from site to site, region to region, with no consistent approach to maintenance/updates,
             with most installed prior to IP-based controls and protocols
            «
             •  Many sites have multiple non-integrated systems for HVAC, lighting, metering, & compressed air, few with complete facility coverage
             •  Many communication methods and protocols, many proprietary   ing technologically advanced buildings with a lean energy footprint. The
             •  Most are ‘Shadow IT’ and not compliant with corporate IT standards
             SUCCESSES:
             •  Created a global BMS standard supporting and reinforcing Ford’s Energy Management Operating System (EMOS)
             •  Developed and implemented the global BMS Standard that is IT approved/ supported and residing on the Ford Office

             integration to the global standard; 8 commercial office buildings integrated to the global standard
             •  2016: Ford announced the Dearborn Campus Transition, effecting the majority of non-manufacturing
             facilities that includes BMS to enable continuous monitoring and energy optimization
