Creating Building Environments that Inspire Champions

Home of the Milwaukee Brewers is first stadium with retractable roof to earn LEED certification and now ranks among the most sustainable stadiums in professional sports

Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers since 2001, has been recognized as the first stadium with a retractable roof and the third Major League Baseball stadium overall to become LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified in the category of Existing Building Operations and Maintenance. Only two other Major League Baseball stadiums have achieved LEED recognition for Existing Buildings – AT&T Park in San Francisco and Target Field in Minneapolis – and both are open-air facilities. 

Johnson Controls manages the Miller Park facility and coordinated the LEED certification process which focused on creating a more sustainable facility and improving the ballpark experience for players and fans.  

  • Energy savings: A new high-definition scoreboard will use 49 percent less energy.
  • Reduced CO2 emissions: Upgrades to heating, ventilation & air conditioning (HVAC) systems, equipment and controls, plumbing, electrical lighting and power systems are expected to reduce 1,153 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually; it's the equivalent of taking 220 cars off the road each year.
  • Improved indoor air quality: Smoking areas were moved 25 feet from doors, windows and ventilation systems to preserve the indoor air quality for occupants.
  • Less water use: Old water fixtures have been replaced which will help save an anticipated 5.2 million gallons of water annually.
  • Increased recycling: More than 140 new recycling containers have been added on site, averaging 10 tons of waste recycling each game
  • A greener shade of clean: More than 50 percent of the cleaning products meet sustainability criteria as “green cleaning” products.

Johnson Controls managed the entire LEED project at Miller Park, which included helping the Milwaukee Brewers identify ways to become more sustainable and to draft policies to help stadium service providers and vendors adhere to sustainability goals.

Johnson Controls works on sustainability projects around the world and is proud to have facilitated this challenging certification process for its home town team," said Iain Campbell, vice president and general manager, Energy Solutions, Building Efficiency, Johnson Controls. “The Brewers organization deserves recognition for its commitment to make Miller Park among the most sustainable stadiums in professional sports."

Johnson Controls has more than 1,350 LEED-accredited professionals around the world.

We're walking the talk. Our own global headquarters in Glendale, Wis., represents the largest concentration of LEED Platinum buildings (four) in the world.
