Johnson Controls HVAC Manufacturing Plant Powered by Renewable Wind Energy
Energy savings are expected to be about $2.7 million over the life of the 20-year contract
MILWAUKEE — Johnson Controls announced that its 1.3 million square-foot HVAC manufacturing plant in Wichita, Kansas, is now powered by 100 percent wind energy. The plant manufactures residential heating and air conditioning equipment for the YORK, Luxaire, Coleman,and Champion brands. With this switch to renewable energy, the plant’s electricity is offset by zero carbon electricity, which represents 19 percent of Johnson Controls U.S. manufacturing electricity consumption.
“With the Wichita plant now operating on 100 percent local wind power, this is not only a major achievement for Johnson Controls, but also the community,” said Joe Oliveri, vice president and general manager, Global Ducted Systems, Johnson Controls. “This change has dramatically reduced emissions and the plant’s environmental impact for many years to come. This is a prime example of Johnson Controls commitment to sustainability and a healthier planet.”
