Water, Wastewater and Bioenergy
Comprehensive approaches to water resource management
Johnson Controls was one of the first organizations to develop a solution to improve water efficiency through performance-based contracts. These solutions started with water loss reduction through comprehensive water utility metering replacement projects and have extended through leak detection and reduction, wastewater energy efficiency, and biogas utilization.
We offer our customers one-stop solutions for some of the most challenging problems facing water / wastewater utilities and industrial users. Each system is different, so Johnson Controls tailors each project to our customers’ specific needs by following this main approach:
Leverage inefficiencies by capturing and redirecting lost revenue to offset project expenses. Wasted water and wasted energy are wasted cost.
Validate and guarantee water and energy savings.
Shift risk from the utility to Johnson Controls. We ensure smooth project execution and guarantee that you achieve and maintain expected long-term benefits.
