Johnson Controls to Scale Up Supplier Energy Efficiency Program
ACEEE will provide overall coordination of this CGI America Commitment to Action
MILWAUKEE — Johnson Controls plans to scale up its program to help small and medium-sized suppliers reduce energy use in their manufacturing facilities as a Clinton Global Initiative America (CGI America) Commitment to Action.
The Scaling Energy Efficiency in Corporate Supply Chains CGI Commitment to Action expands an existing Johnson Controls supplier efficiency pilot program in which company energy experts visit the plants of its suppliers and train their in-house teams on identifying and implementing low-cost/no-cost energy efficiency improvement measures. The supplier training follows an industry practice known as “energy hunts” conducted for years by Johnson Controls at its own manufacturing plants around the world. Suppliers participating in the program typically achieve energy savings of 5 to 10 percent with less than a two year payback on their investments.
