Johnson Controls launches new Enterprise Energy Services offering

Self-funding, technology-enabled energy management for global 1,000 companies

Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions (GWS), a leading provider of facilities and real estate management, has launched a new offering called Enterprise Energy Services to help global 1,000 companies reduce energy consumption and meet carbon-reduction targets. The service is distinct in the corporate real estate marketplace because it delivers the expertise of energy professionals, hardware, software and guaranteed savings from a single company.

The new offering combines energy-centered operations and maintenance practices, energy advisory services and energy efficiency projects into a self-funding continuous energy improvement program, supported by an enterprise data management system.

Enterprise Energy Services combines Johnson Controls’ facilities management and building efficiency capabilities into tailored programs for large companies. Each program can be designed to suit a company’s specific objectives and budget requirements. Typical solutions include a guaranteed reduction in energy consumption across a client’s real estate portfolio.

Iain Campbell, vice president and general manager, Energy Solutions, Building Efficiency, Johnson Controls, says: “Corporate sustainability strategies can be at very different stages, which is why we have brought this pragmatic, tailored approach to the market. Enterprise Energy Services combines Johnson Controls’ experience managing global corporate real estate portfolios with its deep energy and building technologies expertise. We’ve completed over 2,500 energy projects and will leverage this experience to guarantee program results and help companies achieve their energy and sustainability goals.”

Adds Philip Gregory, Senior Regional Executive: Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions, Middle East & Africa, “As the cost of electricity increases in the South African market, a reduction in energy consumption and energy efficiencies strategies have become an imperative for companies. However, the most effective outcomes are achieved by monitoring usage with intelligent technology and real-time data and combining this with the expertise and experience of a provider that considers all aspects within the total facility. This delivers the ability the measure, monitor, control and improve. Our new service offering is able to deliver this.”

Enterprise Energy Services clients also benefit from ongoing innovations in building information technology, including the Johnson Controls Panoptix solution, which supports energy and carbon reporting, facility benchmarking, automated fault detection and energy performance management.
