Virginia Corrections Project Reduces Costs, While Ensuring Safety

The Virginia Department of Corrections, like many state agencies, faced a lack of funds to deal with an aging infrastructure and deferred maintenance – along with the added challenge of the governor’s executive order to reduce energy use. The solution, from partner Johnson Controls, allowed them to make more than $51 million in facility infrastructure upgrades with a minimal impact on their capital budget.

Guaranteed Energy Savings Fund Upgrades for Saskatoon Schools

With an aging infrastructure and winter temperatures that reach -40°F, the Saskatoon (Saskatchewan) Public School District was facing super-sized utility bills and annual repair costs. They turned to Johnson Controls, a long-time energy efficiency partner, for nearly $10 million in facility improvements to 48 of their schools. The good news is the district could take advantage of performance contracting, allowing the investment to be funded through the project’s expected energy and operational savings of $13 million over a 10-year period.
