April 8, 2002—To meet the need for reliable, high-quality electric power in nonresidential buildings, Johnson Controls now offers Power Assurance Services. Through a strategic alliance with Eaton Corporation’s Cutler-Hammer business unit, Johnson Controls provides customized power management plans and a package of systems, equipment, and expertise for customers across a range of industries.
The goal of Power Assurance Services is to expose inefficiencies, identify effective solutions, and implement processes that maximize energy efficiency and power reliability while producing substantial. Plans are customized by market and may include the following: back-up power systems, monitoring and controls, grounding integrity, surge protection, and load management improvements.
Every year, US businesses lose as much as $120 billion because of power reliability problems, according to a recent study by Primen, an independent energy data firm. An earlier study by Duke Power showed that businesses lost, on average, $11,000 per momentary power outage; losses were significantly greater for firms with critical applications such as data centers and e-commerce operations.
“Dependence on digital-based technology means today’s facilities must have the proper infrastructure to ensure the delivery of quality electric power that is free from outages, surges, sags, and other system failures,” said Randy Carson, Eaton senior vice president and group executive.
