How Johnson Controls’ Decarbonisation Services Propel Global Sustainability Goals
In recent years, the global push towards sustainability and achieving net zero carbon emissions has gained unprecedented momentum. Governments, businesses, and individuals are increasingly recognising the urgent need to address climate change. Johnson Controls, a leader in smart, healthy, and sustainable building solutions, is at the forefront of this movement with a comprehensive range of decarbonisation services.
The Global Shift Towards Sustainability
The world is witnessing a significant shift in attitudes towards sustainability. Countries are setting ambitious net zero targets, with many aiming to achieve these goals by mid-century. This shift is driven by a combination of regulatory pressures, consumer demand, and the undeniable impacts of climate change. Businesses are now expected to not only comply with environmental regulations but also to actively contribute to the global sustainability agenda.

Hounslow Council Decarbonisation Case Study
Johnson Controls partnered with Hounslow Council in West London to complete an ambitious project to decarbonise 61 schools and public buildings throughout the borough. Before this project, Hounslow's schools were responsible for 67% of the Council’s carbon footprint with outdated infrastructure across schools and other public buildings posing serious net zero concerns.
Johnson Controls implemented decarbonisation measures through 61 properties, including schools, leisure centres, and corporate buildings. Gas boilers were replaced with air source heat pumps wherever possible, solar panels were installed and LED lighting solutions put in place.
As a result of the project, carbon emissions across Hounslow’s schools and public buildings dropped by 50%, resulting in a 50% reduction in energy costs, with on-site solar energy production and the use of LED lighting being used to offset the increase in electricity use. To date, Hounslow has achieved energy savings of over 17 million kWh across its corporate and school sites, equating to over 3,000 tonnes of carbon.
