US Army Deploys Energy Efficiency Firsts

Fort Bliss is the first to respond to President Barack Obama’s directive calling on federal agencies to make $2 billion worth of energy efficiency upgrades over the next two years using Energy Savings Performance Contracting. The recently announced $16 million project, which includes a solar energy installation and other energy efficiency improvements, is expected to save $39 million in energy costs over the next 24 years.

Maine Hospital Finds Relief, Energy Efficiency and Savings with New Chillers

When Maine’s Waldo County General Hospital found its chiller was ailing, they sought a cure that would bring them reliable comfort for patients and staff, improved energy efficiency and a level of redundancy that would maintain a healthy environment at all times. The not-for-profit community hospital also needed a cost-effective replacement that would continue to contribute to a vigorous bottom line. Johnson Controls proposed a double chiller replacement that will save an estimated $47,785 annually in electricity costs, provide reliable cooling and achieve a four-year return on investment.

Historic University Advances Savings with Innovative Energy Technology

Bowie State University is one of the oldest Historically Black Universities in the country, with a rich history dating back to 1865. Unfortunately, some of its heating and cooling equipment had a long history as well, resulting in comfort issues for students and staff, along with high operating costs and poor energy efficiency. When Governor Martin O’Malley’s “EmPOWER Maryland” initiative called for state buildings to reduce energy consumption by 15 percent by 2015, Bowie State called on a trusted energy efficiency partner to help reach its ambitious goals. The state-of-the-art technology designed and installed by Johnson Controls not only reduces energy consumption, it also will offset the cost of the improvements through lower utility bills and result in an expected positive cash flow of more than $1.2 million when the contract expires.
