Johnson Controls, the global leader in delivering products, services and solutions that increase energy efficiency in buildings, is retrofitting 83,000 square metres of property owned by the Victorian Department of Treasury & Finance with energy efficient systems and technology.

The extensive retrofit project is the first under the Victorian Government’s Greener Government Buildings program, a new initiative designed to reduce the government’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, cut energy use and costs and save water. By 2018 the program aims to implement Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) or similar projects at sites that account for 90 percent of the state government’s total energy consumption, implementing projects that comply with an eight year payback period. The program was developed by the Department with the support of the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI), a project of the William J. Clinton Foundation. » More: Johnson Controls helping Victorian government save money, cut emissions
