As part of its drive to make federal buildings more environmentally sustainable, the U.S. General Services Administration has awarded a $22.7-million contract to Johnson Controls Federal Systems to electrify the 3.1-million-sq-ft Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C.
The project is a key element of GSA's program to make environmental and energy-efficiency upgrades at more than 100 federal buildings. To fund the buildings program, announced in June, GSA is drawing on $975 million from last year's Inflation Reduction Act.
