Johnson Controls teams with Ford to save $3 million at Ford World Headquarters.
Project Scope
Johnson Controls developed ventilation and other energy and water savings improvements for Ford
Motor Company's World Headquarters resulting in a projected ten-year utility savings exceeding $3
million.
Project Summary
A key element of the project is Demand Control Ventilation (DCV). By installing DCV, Johnson Controls
is able to adjust ventilation based on real-time occupancy and actual measured carbon dioxide (C02)
levels, instead of providing fixed airflows based strictly on static maximum occupancy calculations. This
automatically provides fresh air in the appropriate volumes and to the appropriate locations for occupant
comfort. At the same time it saves energy by continuously matching the ventilation to the occupancy
level and location in the building. Other facility improvement measures included lighting upgrades and
water conservation.
•	Energy Savings
Approximately $300,000 per year or 9%
•	Investment
No net out of pocket investment
•	Financial Return
Project was completely vendor-funded, producing guaranteed positive cash flows throughout the
6-year finance period
•	Other Benefits
Both boiler and chiller loads are dramatically reduced, thereby extending maintenance and
operating life.
Monitoring & Verifying Energy Savings
Computerized monitoring provides ventilation data that is then compared to baseline measurements
taken prior to construction.
Distinguishing Value
The responsiveness, professionalism and innovative energy saving ideas offered by the Johnson
Controls team have been a great asset in achieving the energy reduction goals of the Ford Motor
Company.
