Makkah’s Holy Mosque

An Historic Expansion

Makkah's Holy Mosque Historic Expansion

Johnson Controls is honored to participate in the redesign of one of the world's most magnificent buildings.

The Makkah’s Holy Mosque in Saudi Arabia was built in the 7th Century and today can accommodate more than one million worshippers during the holy month of Ramadan.

Throughout its history, the Holy Mosque has been modified, rebuilt and expanded many times. Now, as part of the largest-ever expansion of the Holy Mosque, Johnson Controls will be providing an integrated management system including state-of-the-art heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).

The contract represents one of the largest single HVAC equipment orders in our history and will include:

  • 27 York® multistage centrifugal chillers: The chillers will be installed at the Shamiyah central utility complex and Ajyad chiller plant, and provide 135,000 tons of refrigeration capacity.
  • The use of environmentally-friendly R134A refrigerant
  • Solid state starters and variable-speed drives (VSDs)
  • A Johnson Controls Metasys® building management system

We will also support the facility’s sustainability goals through various water and energy conservation solutions, helping to make the Holy Mosque one of the most efficient and sustainable facilities of its kind in the world.

“The signing of this contract today is the culmination of a long journey to win this unique and prestigious order -- and also one of the largest single HVAC equipment orders in the history of Johnson Controls,” said Stephen Roell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Johnson Controls, Inc. “We are particularly pleased that these products, which are specifically tailored to meet the expansion requirements of the Holy Mosque, will contribute to a more efficient and sustainable environment that supports the comfort of the millions of people who visit this site annually.”
