111 University in Alabama, USA, worked with us on a $31 million campus-wide performance infrastructure project. The initiative is expected to save $51 million over 20 years, while reducing the school’s carbon footprint, energy use and water consumption. The two-year project included new smart building automation systems, an advanced automation chilled water plant; indoor and outdoor LED lighting retrofits and lighting controls upgrades; high-quality windows; rainwater harvesting for irrigation; and other heating, ventilation and air conditioning, electrical and mechanical work. Utility and operational savings are guaranteed to cover the costs of the work without requiring additional funding or capital expenditure. We also worked with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), in partnership with Microsoft, to make its new headquarters the tallest, largest and smartest government netzero energy building in the world. OpenBlue solutions including OpenBlue Enterprise Manager ensure the building’s annual energy use will be less than or equal to the energy produced on-site, and that its water use will be half that of comparable buildings. As a result of these partnerships and the work we are doing, Johnson Controls has been named a market leader in smart building internet of things (IoT) platforms by Verdantix, a London-based independent research and advisory firm. Its Green Quadrant: IoT Platforms for Smart Buildings 2022, released in January 2022, compares 17 platforms from the world’s leading vendors, and praises OpenBlue Enterprise Manager for its asset management, fault detection and diagnostics, and multirecommendation IAQ tools. Wherever your business stands on the path to sustainability, our OpenBlue solutions can help you balance sustainability and business goals to achieve measurable progress. Cut energy use, optimise asset performance, enhance occupant well-being, and protect our planet.
