Case Study: Golden 1 Center achieves smarter, safer, more sustainable operations with Johnson Controls

Golden 1 Center - Customer Case Study

Golden 1 Center, home of the Sacramento Kings, wanted to create one of the smartest sports arenas in the world: a 100% solar-powered venue that could deliver comfort, safety, and sustainability while supporting a high-profile fan experience. To meet those goals, the team turned to Johnson Controls and its Metasys® building automation platform, along with integrated security and fire protection systems.

Johnson Controls implemented an integrated smart-building solution that connected HVAC, lighting, security, fire protection, utilities, and emergency power into one responsive platform. The result was a more operationally smart, safer, and sustainable arena that can optimize energy use, support grid-neutral operations, and enhance fan comfort; the project is also driving toward LEED Gold certification, with a planned service agreement helping keep systems optimized לאורך the facility lifecycle.
