Next level building intelligence
Excited for the potential AI brings? Ready to harness technology of today to take us into tomorrow? We have introduced more cutting-edge AI capabilities into OpenBlue and it's just the beginning.

“New AI-driven features not only enhance operational efficiency and drive sustainability, but also empower building owners and operators with unprecedented levels of insight and control.”

Vijay Sankaran, Johnson Controls Chief Technology Officer

New updates in OpenBlue Enterprise Manager allow you to take big steps toward building autonomy, net zero and lower operating costs. Here are five ways you can improve building performance today with AI:

1. Unlock and translate your buildings’ data
Track the live activity of your building through a huge amount of internal and external data – from people to equipment to weather. It is then digested by AI and converted into actionable insights and clear recommendations. For example, develop a better understanding of how your spaces are used and make targeted changes to use them more effectively. Our customers have reported up to 10% better optimization of their spaces when employing tactics like these.

2. Make energy savings sooner
Generative AI allows you to close the gap on energy waste by recommending the most impactful energy-saving projects.

Without the need for well-written prompts, OpenBlue Enterprise Manager analyzes normalized energy use based on live weather data and chosen baselines. It then creates actionable insights that go beyond benchmarking and offer you real improvement measures. This dramatically speeds up the process of achieving energy and carbon savings, with our customers reporting significant reductions in energy spending.

3. Make operations more efficient
Automated fault detection and routing can reduce the time required to detect, analyze and address potentially critical and costly issues. In an environment where labor shortages and service costs are on the rise, this is a game changer.

OpenBlue delivers in-depth insights about the monetary impact of each fault, making it easy to determine which items to prioritize. Work orders can then be generated manually or autonomously to resolve the problem. Features like these have helped our customers cut maintenance costs by up to 20%.

4. Lower emissions and track sustainability goals
With proactive recommendations, easily configured in Net Zero Advisor, you can get closer to achieving your sustainability goals.

OpenBlue Enterprise Manager provides data-driven guidance to uncover Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs), calculated by our professional engineers. The platform tracks energy conservation projects across over 130 categories, improving data management and managing decarbonization strategies.

5. Create an environment that manages itself
With OpenBlue Enterprise Manager, you can now run your building with less manual intervention than ever before. Switch easily between advisory or autonomous modes, meaning you decide the level of control that suits you for each parameter.

Adjust automation setpoints based on your aims, whether it’s fault diagnostics, saving energy or accelerating potential cost savings. You can enable autonomous actions in OpenBlue, or just use it to get advice to inform your decisions. It also provides detailed information about equipment performance and trends, from a broad view down to individual pieces of equipment.

These are just some of the transformative powers available to you with OpenBlue. Are you ready to harness the power of AI in your building?
