 Large-scale improvements to generate long-term economic and environmental

                                  benefits



    MILWAUKEE, Aug. 5 /EMWNews/ -- Johnson Controls has installed

sustainable building solutions in 18 Olympic stadiums and supporting

facilities, helping the 2008 Olympics in Beijing realize its goals to be

the most green Olympics in history.



    



    From a Metasys(R) building management system to chillers and variable

speed drives, Johnson Controls' solutions cover 123 million square feet of

Olympics grounds, monitoring more than 58,000 points in stadiums and office

buildings. As a result, the 2008 Beijing Olympics will be the first to

generate significant energy and operational savings through innovative

sustainability solutions.



    "Johnson Controls is working with governments, manufacturers and

businesses throughout China to improve energy efficiency and

sustainability," said Steve Roell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,

Johnson Controls. "China is showing the world its commitment to energy

efficiency and environmental protection. We know that China's green

investments today, such as those for the Olympics, will bring new

opportunity and help the country achieve its long-term energy saving and

emission reduction goals."



    Incorporating sustainability solutions into the 2008 Beijing Olympics

is part of an overall strategy to create a green Beijing. The solutions

featured at the Olympic facilities will generate long-term savings for the

city and will be used for sporting and cultural events for years to come.



    China is the world's second biggest market for the building control and

HVAC services industries and is predicted to quickly become the largest in

the world. Johnson Controls is developing solutions that bring energy

efficient, environmentally-friendly products and systems to customers such

as the Administration Building of Beijing Planning Board, Shanghai World

Financial Center and Guangzhou Higher Education MegaCenter. These projects

are shining examples of how Chinese businesses and governments can enhance

energy efficiency while directly contributing to emission reduction goals.
