Planned Retrofits
2-3 Excavators, Spring 2008 1 Crane, Spring 2008 3-5 Compressors, Ongoing Asking Future Subs to Push Envelope
Example: A concrete sub can retrofit their pumps, but how to lessen impact of ‘dirty’ trucks bringing concrete to site?

Maintenance / Operational Impacts NONE! Proper Sizing Ensures Proper
Performance Routine Maintenance Subcontractor Fears:
Impact to Equipment PerformanceImpact to Fuel Consumption
• [Theoretically, reduced idling saves money from less fuel consumption!]

Hurdles
Learning Curve Faith in Subcontractors Onsite Operations
Limits the subcontractor’s ability to swap out equipment at will.
Enforcing No-Idling / Shut-OffVerification
![Page 21: Case Study: Dana-Farber Yawkey Center for Cancer Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681601e550346895dcf1dc0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Positive Impacts
Market TransformationAt the forefront of a new trend.
Self-Perpetuating CycleClear trend in marketplace. Subs gain
experience, get more jobs. Owners talk, programs take root elsewhere.
Environmental Stewardship PR
![Page 22: Case Study: Dana-Farber Yawkey Center for Cancer Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681601e550346895dcf1dc0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Positive Impacts
For DFCI: Incorporation into DFCI Master Plan Enhance Their Mission
For WBI: Implement on New Jobs Leaders in the Marketplace
For Subcontractors: Marketing Tool Benefit From Participation Gain Retrofitted Equipment

Lessons Learned
ALL Devices EPA Approved What Would We Change?
Length of Time Onsite?After the initial learning curve, the
program is absolutely feasible.Subcontractors are becoming more
knowledgable.More than worth the cost.

Looking Forward
Interesting Time for Diesel Powered Equipment:Baselines are constantly improving.Huge Need for Retrofits:
• Case Study: Sitework Contractor, Fleet = 100 pieces of Equipment
• Age 15 years to New• ¼ of the Fleet is New [<5 years]• 10% of Fleet is Retrofitted• Nearly ¾ of the Fleet Needs Retrofits
