Johnson Controls HQ gets top green certification

Johnson Controls Inc. has been awarded Platinum certification in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program, the highest such recognition, by the U.S. Green Building Council, for its energy efficiency and sustainability projects at its Glendale corporate headquarters campus.

The LEED certification is for four buildings at the corporate campus in North Green Bay Road.

“As a company that’s been in the energy efficiency business for 125 years, we believe it was important to set an example and demonstrate the benefits of incorporating the latest green technologies, including many of our own, into a multi-building campus setting,” said Stephen Roell, Johnson Controls’ chairman and CEO. “Hopefully, it will encourage others to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of their properties, be it for one building or several.”
