From a Metasys(R) 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 innovative sustainability solutions.

“Johnson Controls is working with governments, manufacturers and businesses throughout China to improve energy efficiency and sustainability,” said Steve Roell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Johnson Controls. “China is showing the world its commitment to energy efficiency and environmental protection. We know that China’s green investments today, such as those for the Olympics, will bring new opportunity and help the country achieve its long-term energy saving and emission reduction goals.”
