Transforming Sustainability Data into Meaningful Action

Navigating the path to sustainability can be daunting, especially when faced with the initial steps needed to reduce emissions, cut energy costs, and enhance sustainability in your building. No matter where your building stands on this journey, having a clear plan to turn commitments into actionable steps is crucial.

With the shift from voluntary climate reporting to mandatory climate action, the urgency for companies to adopt sustainable building solutions has increased. However, the first steps towards optimising building performance can be challenging. Where do you begin? How should you invest to maximise impact and economic benefits? Essentially, what are the initial steps to achieving net zero?
 

Initiate Energy and Emissions

Tracking Implementing energy-efficiency solutions and innovative digital tools can lead to significant cost savings. Understanding your building’s current status is the first step towards taking effective action.

Digital solutions like OpenBlue Enterprise Manager enable you to track, reduce, and control energy use; accelerate progress towards carbon reduction goals; and gain a clearer understanding of your impact. These tools now include integrated generative AI that offers proactive recommendations for the most impactful energy-saving projects, simplifying the analysis of extensive building data.
 

Optimise Equipment Performance

Leveraging advanced technology, advisory services, and condition-based maintenance can create energy savings through cost avoidance and asset performance optimisation.

The chiller is one of the most critical pieces of equipment in your facility, accounting for up to 40% of a building’s electricity use. Optimise its performance with flexible digital services tailored to your building, operational style, and budget.
 

Modernise Without Financial Risk

Lack of capital or expertise should not hinder your decarbonisation efforts.

Modernise your facility and finance equipment updates through energy savings and performance contracting with flexible payment options. Johnson Controls’ Net Zero Buildings as a Service offerings are customised to your business needs and goals. This can include an energy savings programme, and decarbonisation solutions such as onsite solar, renewable energy supply, along with expert advisory and digital solutions.
