Johnson Controls HVAC Manufacturing Plant Powered by 100% Renewable Wind Energy
MILWAUKEE — Johnson Controls is leading the charge on sustainable manufacturing with its continued commitment to green energy. The company’s 1.3 million-square-foot HVAC manufacturing plant in Wichita, Kansas, is now powered by 100% 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% of Johnson Controls’ U.S. manufacturing electricity consumption.
“With the Wichita plant now operating on 100% local wind power, this is not only a major achievement for Johnson Controls but also the community. This change has dramatically reduced emissions and the plant’s environmental impact for many years to come,” said Joe Oliveri, vice president and general manager, global ducted systems, Johnson Controls. “This is a prime example of Johnson Controls commitment to sustainability and a healthier planet.”
