Johnson Controls Selected as One of the First Energy-Saving Service
Companies Certified by China’s National Development and Reform
Commission
Beijing, China (December 21,
2010) – China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC)
recently appointed Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), a global leader in
delivering products, services and solutions that increase energy
efficiency in buildings, as one of the first energy-savings service
companies in China. Johnson Controls was awarded an “Energy Saving
Service Institution Record Certificate” that qualifies the company to
provide comprehensive building efficiency service and Performance
Contracting (PC) in China.
In an effort to better manage and
develop the energy-saving service market, the NDRC and Ministry of
Finance (MOF) rigorously reviewed companies that operate in the market
and selected its first list of energy-saving companies. Johnson
Controls and other companies on the list are eligible for energy
conservation subsidies, green low-interest loans, and tax reductions
and exemptions as they provide expertise in air-conditioning, heat
pump, lighting and other innovation solutions that contribute to
improved building efficiency and reduced costs.
“We are honored to be among
the first energy-saving service companies recorded in the NDRC,” said
Elvis Chan, vice president and managing director of Johnson Controls,
Greater China. “The State’s ‘12th Five-year Plan Energy Saving and
Emission Reduction Plan’ makes energy saving and emission reduction the
focus of development in the construction, industry and transportation
sectors. Johnson Controls is pleased to work with the Chinese
government as it works toward a low carbon economy, contributing our
expertise in the operation of energy efficient, sustainable buildings.”
The Chinese market and markets
around the world recognize the positive influence of enhanced
efficiency in reducing costs and improving energy security and
environmental protection. By analyzing and evaluating energy use in
buildings, Johnson Controls is helping the Chinese government
effectively manage and control building efficiency through its new
energy-saving mechanism, the Energy Management Contract. The building
energy management services provided by Johnson Controls have resulted
in reduced energy costs and enhanced building efficiency.
As
the world's leading one-stop building solution provider, Johnson
Controls has more than 125 years of experience in developing and
deploying advanced building technologies and services in the world. In
addition to providing customers with safe, comfortable and sustainable
building facilities, it is also committed to helping people renovate

Based on rich resources, experience and global practices, as well as
long-term cooperation with governments, non-profit organizations and
industry associations, Johnson Controls’ energy management service has
helped users worldwide to significantly improve their building
efficiency. In 2009, the company retrofitted the landmark building in
New York, the Empire State Building. It is projected that the project
will reduce energy consumption by at least 38 percent, upgrade the
building’s operation capability and comprehensively lower coal
emissions and save costs. For more information, please visit http://www.johnsoncontrols.com.
