Meeting a Texas-sized Challenge

Fort Worth improves city energy efficiency, saves money, and reduces emissions at city facilities

Fort Worth, Texas is one of the country's fastest growing cities. Yet, like many cities, it's faced with the need to make its municipal buildings more energy efficient without using capital funds or raising taxes.

 

To meet this Texas-sized challenge, the city partnered with Johnson Controls to make energy-efficiency improvements to City Hall and many other municipal buildings. Based on the success of that first project, the city embarked on a four-phase collaboration with Johnson Controls that will run through 2025. The project includes energy efficiency retrofits and upgrades at municipal buildings and facilities in almost every department: from office buildings to libraries, and police stations to park and recreation facilities — even the Fort Worth Convention Center. Improvements will include lighting upgrades, low-flow plumbing fixtures, efficient chiller plants and installation of Johnson Controls’ Metasys® building management system to monitor and control the performance of building systems.

 

To date, the city of Fort Worth has upgraded 96 buildings, resulting in:

  • $29 million in projected energy and water savings by 2025
  • 34% reduction in electricity consumption
  • 22% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

 

Johnson Controls, through a performance contract, is guaranteeing the energy savings, which offset the cost of the city’s projects.
