Harnessing the Power of Smart Technologies to Decarbonise Our Buildings
At Johnson Controls, the global leader in smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings, we recognise the critical importance of decarbonising the built environment. The future of smart buildings not only benefits the environment but also enhances the bottom line.
In a new video, Katie McGinty, Vice President and Chief Sustainability and External Relations Officer, highlights how this new model of sustainable buildings can positively impact the bottom line. By creating vibrant workplaces where people are more comfortable, healthier, smarter, and more productive, we can drive both environmental and economic benefits.
"Let's enable buildings to become like a neural network where all the operating systems talk to each other."
Expanding Our Vision for Sustainable Buildings
Johnson Controls is committed to leading the way in the decarbonisation of buildings. Our approach includes a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to meet the unique needs of each facility. From energy-efficient retrofits to advanced building automation systems, we provide the tools necessary to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency.
Net Zero Buildings
Our Net Zero Buildings initiative is a cornerstone of our sustainability strategy. Buildings account for approximately 40% of global emissions, and Johnson Controls is uniquely positioned to help customers achieve their net zero goals. We offer a proven path to decarbonisation, making the transition easier with the right resources, skills, and solutions.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
Energy efficiency is at the heart of our smart building solutions. By implementing energy-saving measures such as LED lighting, heat pumps, and advanced building automation systems, we help reduce utility costs and lower carbon footprints. Our energy performance contracting model guarantees savings through energy-efficient retrofits, eliminating the need for capital investment.
Digitally Enabled Environments
We leverage digital solutions to create smart, connected environments that enhance building performance and occupant well-being. Our OpenBlue platform integrates various building systems, providing real-time data and insights to optimise energy use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Collaborative Efforts for a Sustainable Future
Johnson Controls is actively working with other industry leaders to decarbonise the building sector as part of the Sustainable Markets Initiative’s Sustainable Buildings Task Force. This collaboration aims to drive innovation and share best practices to accelerate the transition to sustainable buildings.
