Creating Campus Environments that Work.

Your community expects more. Is your budget up to it?

State-of-the-art labs and classrooms. Twenty-four hour access. A safe, secure environment. Flexible, affordable learning options, including on-line, that meet the ongoing needs of your community’s employers. At the same time, the profile of your student body continues to change. You’re faced with meeting the needs of students, literally ages 18 to 80, in your community who are at various stages in a lifelong learning process. You’re competing for students with other colleges and universities, as well as local businesses. Plus, you’re facing significant faculty and administration turnover in the coming years along with an aging campus infrastructure. It all adds up to ever increasing financial and operational pressures.

Johnson Controls can help. We provide the tools to meet student expectations backed by proven budget and facility management solutions. We have a long history of working with educational institutions of all sizes, in all locations. In fact, an educator founded our company more than 120 years ago.

Energy Performance Contracting in Education

When it comes to educational environments, Johnson Controls experience is unmatched. In fact our founder, Warren Johnson, was an educator himself who created the first electric thermostat to control the comfort in his classroom. From elementary schools to colleges and universities, we create environments that support student achievement and learning. Performance contracting provides a way to create quality learning environments without shifting resources in your budget.

The concept behind performance contracting is simple: install energy-efficient building systems that allow you to save money through reduced energy use and lower facility operating costs. Then leverage the savings to pay for the improvements over a specified period of time. Johnson Controls guarantees the savings and assumes the burden of performance. The result is guaranteed savings and an improved learning environment.
