New initiative to build awareness for innovative, cost effective, scalable energy efficiency solutions
May 5, 2010 - Milwaukee, WI The Institute for Building Efficiency is a new initiative of Johnson Controls providing information and analysis of technologies, policies, and practices for efficient, high performance buildings and smart energy systems around the world. The Institute leverages the company's 125 years of global experience providing energy efficient solutions for buildings to support and complement the efforts of non-profit organizations and industry associations.
"The Institute will complement non-profit organizations and industry associations by leveraging the company's global experience in providing building efficiency solutions," said Clay Nesler, vice president of global energy and sustainability, Johnson Controls. "We will do more than talk about what should be done, but really identify how global efficiency can be achieved through the right building solutions."
Major programs of the Institute for Building Efficiency include:
The Institute for Building Efficiency will focus on seven areas: Existing Building Retrofits, Green Buildings, Smart Grid and Smart Buildings, Renewable and Distributed Energy, Clean Energy Finance, Carbon Management, and Energy & Climate Policy. Spearheading the Institute is Jennifer Layke. As Director of the Institute, she brings two decades of global experience focused on energy and sustainability issues, including her recent work as Deputy Director of the Climate and Energy Program at the World Resources Institute (WRI). Ms Layke will be based in Washington D.C and will have global research program managers located in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
