Creating Environments for Achievement

Better surroundings mean better educational opportunities.

A comfortable, healthy, safe environment has been shown to enhance student performance, and help attract and retain the best teachers. Johnson Controls has the expertise and technology to improve the learning environment and support your teaching and staff requirements. And we can help optimize maintenance staff productivity and facility operations. As a result, you can better position your schools to succeed in an increasingly competitive K-12 marketplace. Whether you’re updating older buildings, or building from the ground up, Johnson Controls can provide quality learning environment solutions that are right for you.

How to do that on a limited budget is your challenge. That’s where Johnson Controls can best serve you. We offer proven budget solutions by using the savings that improved facilities generate to fund improvements. And we can help you generate positive publicity by educating the community on your commitment to being fiscally responsible. In fact, schools that we work with are being nationally recognized through the federal programs. We also provide energy education and school-to-work programs correlated to meet curriculum standards.

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.
