To provide you with the most flexibility and meet your needs, Johnson Controls can evaluate and offer a number of innovative funding solutions:

Performance Contracting
Improvements are funded through utility and operational savings, and the project savings are guaranteed over an agreed-upon term. This approach provides customer assurance that the project will meet the desired financial outcomes. In the event of a non-accrual in utility and operational savings, Johnson Controls will pay the difference.
Design Build
To encourage collaboration, expedite improvements and achieve higher-quality outcomes
Design, Build, Own, Operate, Maintain
A step short of privatization, this model is preferred for many biogas solutions and simplifies biogas utilization projects for the producer.
Structured Finance
Offering a variety of financial solutions to suit your needs
Grants
We have a dedicated team of grant-writing specialists available to support your projects.
