Sustainability in action
LEED Platinum certification for Johnson Controls headquarters campus buildings
The Johnson Controls headquarters campus at Glendale, Wisconsin now has the largest concentration of buildings on one campus to ever receive LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum certification.LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council rates buildings on how well they save energy and water, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve indoor environmental quality and their overall environmental impact. Platinum is the highest LEED designation.
The four LEED Platinum-certified buildings on the Glendale campus embody the latest green, sustainable designs and technologies, such as:
- Renewable solar energy to produce electricity and hot water
- Geothermal heating and cooling systems
- Rainwater collection for use in water closets throughout the buildings
- Lighting systems that automatically adjust to make more use of natural light and reduce artificial light
- Automatically adjusting window shades that allow daylight in but keep glare and heat out
- Demand load limiting strategies to reduce energy consumption, which in turn reduces operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions
- The Johnson Controls Metasys™ building management system which continuously monitors, integrates and controls all key systems to optimize comfort, efficiency and security
Employees even have control over the temperature, lighting, airflow and ambient noise levels at their individual workspaces. And if they're not at their workspace for 10 minutes or more, those individual environmental systems are automatically shut off to save energy.
Remarkably, while the square footage of the project has doubled, energy usage is down 21 percent. Water usage has been reduced by 595,000 gallons a year. Greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced by the equivalent of 857,200 million pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
All this was done – not by entirely building a brand new facility from scratch -- but by restoring more than 44-year old architecture to not only look appealing but to function in an environmentally friendly manner. Since existing buildings account for the vast majority of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, making existing buildings more efficient and sustainable has the potential for doing the substantial good for the environment. The Johnson Controls Glendale campus proves that it can be done.
While obtaining LEED Platinum certification is a significant achievement, the effort to obtain that certification was not about recognition. "This campus is really a testament to our mission to create safe, comfortable, environments," said Ward Komorowski, director of facilities and building services for the Glendale headquarters. "This campus shows others what can be done to promote the cause of energy efficiency and sustainability and benefit businesses, communities and the world at large.
