#1: The P3 Future – Addressing and Funding Infrastructure Needs
State facility administrators are challenged to simultaneously address aging infrastructure, deferred maintenance, and limited appropriated capital. As a result, a growing number of states are implementing innovative public-private partnerships (P3). This session provides an overview of the P3 model, a $90 million central plant case study, expected trends, and how to best utilize enabled legislation.

#2: Putting Energy Savings To WorkA major challenge facing facility managers today is deferred maintenance projects in their buildings. Many state and local governments are faced with the challenge of failed or failing facility infrastructures and the lack of funds to restore them. This presentation highlights best practices and examples that can help mitigate the challenges to address deferred maintenance while leveraging private sector resources through a Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contract.
