Oct. 5, 2004: Johnson Controls Helps University Meet LEED Requirements
MILWAUKEE - The University of Florida's Rinker Hall is believed to be the first building in the state to earn gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certification. Administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED certification recognizes buildings that meet specified performance standards for environmentally conscious design, energy efficiency, resource conservation, and dedication to indoor air quality.
Johnson Controls Inc. contributed to the effort, installing its Metasys® building management system to optimize energy efficiency and performance of the building's mechanical and electrical systems, says the company.
