Johnson Controls Automotive – Ontario Sustainability Projects Energy Efficiency : Plants lighting retrofit – T8 and T12 fluorescent bulbs switched to T5’s (300,000 to 1,000,000 kWh reduction annually) Compressed Air Leaks – new projects being started (projected $10-20,000 annual savings for 2 facilities) Peak Electrical Demand – large energy using equipment shut down for 4 hours during peak energy demand times (hot summer days), large manufacturing equipment, A/C reduced, lighting reduced Project in collaboration with OPA Only 2 facilities able to handle production juggle at this point (one facility on line, the other is implementing) ($30,000 + annual rebate) 6 Johnson Controls
Johnson Controls Automotive – Ontario Sustainability Projects Energy Efficiency : - Solar Panels – roof top installation on some facilities (being considered) - Energy Hunts – conducted on an annual basis Chemical Materials Usage - Electrostatic gun trials underway for Naptha mould release (reduction in overspray) - Pollution Prevention Plan developed to reduce isocyanate pollution - Substitution of oil based polymer with non-oil polymer in foam cushions/pads Waste Water Reduction - High pressure equipment systems (foam injection machine) introduced to reduce waste water from a low pressure machine (144,000 L annual reduction) 7 Johnson Controls
Johnson Controls Automotive – Ontario Sustainability Projects Chemical Safety: - Railcar safety changes introduced to minimize the chance of a railcar derail accident on site Air Emissions: - Considerable investment in reducing foam manufacturing air emissions through stack modifications and dust collectors (Ontario Air Regulation 419) and the installation of sound enclosures to mitigate a roof top noise issue Waste Materials - PVC / ABS (3 part material) trimming recycling avenue discovered (400,000 lbs recycled). - Automotive foam cushion/pad scrap processed for recycling using a community based program that benefits the mentally and physically challenged. 8 Johnson Controls
Johnson Controls Automotive Sustainable Packaging & Products Packaging Efficiency: Returnable package used extensively in our plants Recycled packaging pick ups reduced to greatest extent possible For long hauls (trim covers from Mexico ) and foam, we have developed packaging methods that eliminate a return transportation leg saving emissions and reducing cost Product: Seats are the heaviest component in the interior. Lighter weight seat frames help our customers improve fuel economy
