Install network infrastructure and integrate meters into Port of Seattle Energy Management System (EMS)
This is year 1 of a multi-year program to install smart meters throughout Port of Seattle waterfront facilities.
New buildings will be identified and prioritized each year based on regulatory compliance and impact.
Buildings for year 1 were selected and prioritized due to their building footprint size and use to meet upcoming
Washington Clean Building Performance Standards.
This project requires significant cross departmental and divisional engagement with Port Engineering, ICT,
Environment and Sustainability, and others.

Risks and Opportunities
•
RISKS
DESCRIPTION
Long Lead Items
Current estimated delivery time for smart meters is 6 weeks.
This may increase over the coming months
Power and Natural Gas
Outages
Installation of meters will require outages to natural gas and
electricity which may impact tenant operations
Interruptions to
buildings/operations
Installation of conduit may occur in retail, cruise or other client
facing spaces which may disrupt tenant business
PROBABILITY
IMPACT
MITIGATION
Medium
Medium
Monitor lead times for smart meters. Port of Seattle
High
Schedule outages during non-standard working
hours and only perform work that needs to be done
during the outage to minimize impact to tenants
Medium
Perform work at cruise terminal outside of cruise
season. For meters which are located far away from
the network gateway, consider using an LTE
connection.
High
High
Overall, smart meter installation has a low and manageable risk with significant benefits when complete.
