Johnson Controls developed the Green Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Vocational Program for the Indian Creek Correctional Center in Chesapeake, Va. The company provided the curriculum and the training for correctional instructors for potential careers as service mechanics, controls technicians and maintenance specialists. Research shows that education of this nature can reduce the likelihood of inmates returning to prison.
Johnson Controls helps correctional facilities become more energy and cost efficient, without compromising security
Correctional institutions must safeguard the public while supervising offenders humanely. It’s challenging – and expensive. These facilities are like cities, with housing, cafeterias, work areas, offices, physical plants, and populations of up to several thousand. They must operate securely around the clock. They consume a lot of energy and water. Many are old and badly in need of renovations, but funds are hard to come by.Johnson Controls has helped corrections departments in Virginia, Alabama, Indiana, Wisconsin and elsewhere overcome these challenges through energy efficiency and water usage improvements paid for by utility savings guaranteed under performance contracts.
For example, Johnson Controls upgraded lighting, heating, air conditioning and plumbing at 20 of Virginia’s approximately 40 correctional institutions. That should reduce energy consumption by more than 17.3 million kilowatt hours and water usage by more than 244 million gallons over 15 years. Savings pay for the work so the state doesn’t have to.
Not everyone can do this. Prisons have unique requirements which contractors must understand. For security reasons, access to some areas is limited, and strict work schedules must be followed. Tools must always be accounted for, because in the wrong hands, they become weapons.
Johnson Controls has considerable experience meeting correctional facility requirements. “They did very well coordinating the projects and working with our staff to keep the work moving in a timely manner with minimal disruption,” said Kimberly Lipp, Chief, architectural and engineering services, VA department of corrections.
Johnson Controls also helps correctional facilities prepare offenders for re-entry into society. For example, the company developed programs to train Virginia offenders for HVAC equipment repair, maintenance services and energy efficient operation. Research shows that such education reduces the likelihood that individuals will return to prison.
At correctional facilities, savings and security must go hand in hand. Johnson Controls makes it happen.
