Case Study: Penn State Health achieves major energy savings and improved hospital reliability with Johnson Controls

Increasing efficiencies and decreasing energy costs at a Pennsylvania hospital

Pennsylvania Hospital, a major academic medical center and Level 1 trauma center, faced the challenge of managing its massive 80-building campus. They needed a partner to maximize operational efficiency, reduce energy costs, and enhance the reliability of their building systems. They turned to Johnson Controls for an operations and maintenance (O&M) contract to address these needs.

Johnson Controls implemented a comprehensive O&M solution, leveraging their OpenBlue Enterprise Manager software and 24/7 monitoring to optimize energy use and system performance. This partnership resulted in significant measurable outcomes, including annual savings of $300,000 in electricity costs and 1.4 million gallons of water. Johnson Controls also helped the hospital reduce CO2 emissions by 7 million pounds in one year while improving compliance and supporting an excellent patient care environment.
