Johnson Controls states that these solutions will bring new opportunity and help the country achieve its long-term energy saving and emission reduction goals.
From a Metasys building management system to chillers and variable speed drives, Johnson Controls’ solutions cover 123 million square feet of Olympics grounds, monitoring more than 58,000 points in stadiums and office buildings. As a result, the 2008 Beijing Olympics will be the first to generate significant energy and operational savings through sustainability solutions, says Johnson Controls.
