Johnson Controls the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, is now projected to successfully cut more than one million metric tons of carbon dioxide through energy efficiency and renewable energy public projects across the state of Arkansas. Since 2010, Johnson Controls has partnered with 22 public organizations to implement decarbonization solutions that are expected to deliver the same air quality results as taking a quarter million vehicles off the roads for one year while saving Arkansas taxpayers a combined $229M.

“Our partnerships across Arkansas are a perfect example of how public entities can support ambitious sustainability goals,” said Nate Manning, president of Building Solutions North America at Johnson Controls. “Through creative funding solutions, public organizations can make much-needed infrastructure updates that enrich their communities while reducing costs and meeting decarbonization goals. We are eager to see how these customers innovate and inspire similar organizations to join the race to cut emissions and save capital.”
Twenty-two public organizations throughout Arkansas have engaged with Johnson Controls under performance contracts to implement energy-efficient and renewable infrastructure solutions. These contracts help empower organizations to make critical infrastructure improvements to deliver guaranteed outcomes while preserving capital. Johnson Controls projects throughout Arkansas are leading the way in energy conservation and tax-dollar preservation.
