Johnson Controls Enhances Fan Experience at Paris 2024 Olympics with Smart Stadiums
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.
