Johnson Controls Power Solutions has earned the Department of Energy (DOE) "Save Energy Now" award, which recognizes manufacturing facilities that have implemented significant savings through an energy assessment. Johnson Controls' Red Oak, Iowa facility achieved the award by saving more than 10,100 million British thermal units (MMBTU) adding up to 9.9 percent of total energy savings.

Awards were handed out to 151 plants at the Energy Efficiency Global Forum in Washington, D.C.  Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Cathy Zoi applauded the manner in which the award-winning companies were able to conserve energy, reducing their energy bills and carbon emissions while increasing their competitiveness.  

"Johnson Controls is committed to sustainability and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, which is especially important in Power Solutions where we have high energy usage," said Allen Martin, vice president and general manager of the Americas for Johnson Controls Power Solutions. "Red Oak will serve as a best practice as we look to implement similar efficiencies across our manufacturing footprint."
