A 20-year contract with the Hawaii Department of Transportation will reduce energy usage by about 49 percent and save the state a total of $518 million at 12 state-operated airports. The program, which is currently under construction, includes new lighting systems, air conditioning upgrades and renewable energy sources. The program will create more than 300 skilled tradeand nearly 90 professional, administrative and managerial jobs while adding more than $670 million in economic development.

Since 2000, Johnson Controls' total guaranteed energy savings performance contracting projects have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by over 20 million metric tons, which is the equivalent of annual emissions from 5.3 coal-fired power plants or 1.8 million single family homes. These projects have also saved over $4.7 billion in operating costs for public and private-sector building owners.
