Johnson Controls Selected by Jewish Museum Foundations in Berlin

Jewish Museum Foundations Building

Johnson Controls is honored to have been given the opportunity to improve the energy efficiency of this landmark museum in Berlin – Jewish Museum Foundations.

The museum’s building complex consists of two different types of architecture. Part of the complex was designed by world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind and the other section of the complex consists of a Baroque building, built in 1735. The differing architecture and the need to preserve the integrity of the complex’s building designs presented unique challenges.

The Solutions:

  • Partial renovation of the building automation system and use of innovative LED lighting
  • Ventilation system will be modified to use more outside air to cool the building
  • Air humidification will be optimized and ensured by environmentally friendly district heat - generated from the central combined heat and power (CHP) system of Berlin, instead of using electric energy

Under the 10 year EPC, renovations of the Jewish Museum is expected to reduce its energy costs by 26 percent and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 31 percent by 2012 – completion of renovation. The total annual energy cost savings is estimated at 165,000 € ($216,900 USD).

The Jewish Museum sought help of the Deutsche Energie Agentur (Dena) for making its building more energy efficient and environment friendly. In April 2010 the German government and the foundation organized an Energy Performance Contract tender to which Johnson Controls participated and was selected.
