Education Resources

One challenge of learning about renewable energy and its remarkable advancements is keeping up-to-date with the industry. We’ve listed several websites here that we find helpful:

  • DSIRE is a comprehensive source of information on state, local, utility, and federal incentives that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency: http://www.dsireusa.org/
  • The Department of Energy National Renewable Energy Laboratory site has information related to the research and development of renewable fuels and electricity that advance national energy goals: http://www.nrel.gov/
Education Resources
  • US Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy site features information on EERE's products, services, and 10 technology programs, including solar, wind, geothermal and biomass: http://www.eere.energy.gov/

Calculate Your Energy Profile

To begin the journey of changing your organization’s energy costs, operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions, you should determine your current “energy profile.” To start with, look at the emissions from your vehicles, your home and your business. To get you started, try the calculators shown below or find your own calculator online.

If you are a school, municipality or business, Johnson Controls’ engineers can help you calculate your emissions and help you craft a plan for change. Our expertise is energy. Our mission is to help create a more safe, comfortable and sustainable world. Contact a Johnson Controls sales representative to learn more.
