Meeting a Texas-sized challenge. Not to mention $29 million in savings.

摘要

Fort Worth is one of the country's fastest growing cities. Yet, like many cities today, it was faced with the need to make its municipal buildings more energy-efficient without using capital funds or raising taxes. To meet this Texas-sized challenge, in 2003, the city partnered with Johnson Controls to upgrade its many diverse buildings. Improvements included lighting upgrades, low-flow plumbing fixtures, efficient chiller plants and installation of Johnson Controls' Metasys? building management system to monitor and control the performance of building systems. To date, the city of Fort Worth has upgraded 96 buildings, including its Meacham Airport terminal, libraries, community centers, fire houses and convention center.
