Johnson Controls Named by Analysts as Leader in Connected Chillers
Conventional chillers consume up to 40% of an average building's total energy
IRELAND — Johnson Controls has been recognized by independent analyst firm Frost & Sullivan with its Best Practices Customer Value Leadership Award for 2022. The assessment, covering chiller systems in buildings in North America, pitted Johnson Controls against global peers and roundly praised the company's technology and customer service as market leading.
"Chiller systems can account for 40% of a building's total energy demand and they are one of the biggest targets for greenhouse gas reduction," said Vijay Sankaran, chief technology officer, Johnson Controls. "By installing connected chillers, or adding connectivity to existing equipment, we can optimize how a system works —
reducing failures and lowering a building's total energy draw to make serious inroads into its CO2e footprint. The chiller product is itself key but so is the connected digital solution; particularly the AI-enabled predictive and remote diagnostic abilities delivered by our OpenBlue platform."
