PARIS, July 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Paris Olympics 2024 is
about to get underway, millions of fans will travel to the French
capital city to attend one of the world's largest sporting events.
Thanks to the latest technology from Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI),
they will enjoy a more comfortable experience at some of the
smartest and most energy-efficient stadiums on the continent.
By integrating advanced building automation systems, HVAC and
fire suppression technologies across eight venues, the company not
only is helping the International Olympic Committee prioritize
safety and operational efficiency but also is contributing to the
Committee's ambitious goal of reducing the event's carbon footprint
by 50% compared to previous Games. Achieving this goal
required making the building infrastructure behind the games'
venues more energy efficient and sustainable.
For example, two of the latest innovations of Johnson Controls'
York 3.3 MW industrial chillers are in operation at the new cooling
production plant, the La Chapelle plant, located in the Adidas
Arena sports and cultural complex. As the twelfth power plant in
the city of Paris' cooling
network, it meets the cooling needs of the Adidas Arena and the
surrounding area. This equipment provides sustainable and
energy-efficient cooling at one of the flagship sites of the
Olympic Games.
"With temperatures rising year on year and heatwaves becoming
the norm, the need for sustainable cooling technology is critical
to ensure optimal conditions in venues while minimizing the impact
on the planet," said Marc Vandiepenbeeck, CFO and EMEALA President
for Johnson Controls. "Chillers are one of the most
energy-consuming pieces of equipment in a building and represent an
important opportunity to cut energy use and cost, while minimizing
carbon footprint and delivering a healthier indoor
environment."
A further example is a renowned tennis stadium where the Johnson
Controls Metasys building automation system links the most vital
building equipment including HVAC, lighting control and energy
management. The system controls and monitors performance and
provides real-time data so facility managers can identify potential
issues, make adjustments and ensure the stadium is running as
efficiently and sustainably as possible.
"We are proud to work with these prestigious venues and help our
customers achieve their desired outcomes in energy efficiency,
carbon reduction emissions, safety, security and building
management. Our expertise in smart stadiums and large venues has
made Johnson Controls the partner of choice for stadiums across the
world and we continue to innovate in this space to further elevate
the fan experience," continued Vandiepenbeeck.
Johnson Controls drives fan engagement, operational efficiency
and sustainability with innovative building technology at sports
and entertainment venues across the globe. The company provides
smart buildings solutions to Intaleq in Doha, Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, O2 Arena in London, Allegiant Stadium in
Las Vegas, Chase Center in
San Francisco, Borussia Dortmund
at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, and more. It offers its full range of
technologies for this sector including its OpenBlue digital
platform, building automation system, HVAC, fire detection and
suppression.
