Established in 1989, the factory in Dalian is Pfizer’s first production base in China. The expansion project, which is an aseptic workshop for cephalosporin products, is a key step in Pfizer’s efforts to expand investment and capabilities in China. Covering an area of about 13,000 square meters, the expanded area was constructed in 2014 and completed in April 2017. Johnson Controls was involved throughout the full design and construction process of the area. This included providing lifecycle LEED certification consulting services to deliver outstanding energy efficiency and sustainability.
     Johnson Controls, a company in creating intelligent buildings and efficient energy solutions recently announced its instrumental role in helping Pfizer build its first LEED-NC Platinum certified pharmaceutical factory in the world. This follows an expansion project at Pfizer’s factory in Dalian, China. As the chosen strategic partner for this project, Johnson Controls provided lifecycle green building certification consulting services, alongside building controls systems and other related products to help Pfizer successfully meet energy efficiency challenges in the pharmaceutical industry. As a result, a significant improvement in energy efficiency was recorded, including savings in water (45 percent), energy (35 percent) and cost (28 percent), according to the standards of ASHRAE90.1-2007.
     The building is installed with Johnson Controls’ Metasys Building Automation System (BAS), which has substantially improved the facility’s overall operating efficiency. It also utilizes Johnson Controls’ SPEED smart energy management platform, enabling real-time calculations of factory energy consumption for energy usage optimization through images, texts, and videos. To maximize energy savings, the building collects wastewater and rainwater for watering the lawn and grounds, combined with high-efficiency equipment, and LED and automated solar lighting systems.
     "As a global pharmaceutical giant, Pfizer is devoted to improving energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption," said Josephine Su, vice president and general manager, Building Technologies & Solutions China, Johnson Controls. “We fully understand the demands and provide an integrated solution including LEED certification consulting by leveraging our product advantages and expertise.” 


In the recent "Toward 2040: Enterprise Innovation and Urban
Sustainability" campaign, Johnson Controls Headquarters Asia Pacific, the first
"triple certified" green building in China, stood out from hundreds of
nominees and won the 2017 Shanghai Enterprise Sustainability Impact Award.
