Constructing a smart building that meets energy, technology, and operational objectives depends on early collaboration between the owner and the design and construction teams. With Johnson Controls’ Technology Contracting, the building is created not as a collection of systems, but as a functional whole: conceived, designed, and delivered with the desired outcomes in mind. We act as a single point of responsibility for the design, integration, installation, and service of the building’s technology.

Involving the technology contractor early ensures that overall building architecture and systems are mutually supportive. The process results in mechanical and electrical systems that are efficient, optimized, and future ready. With our technology convergence approach, building, business, and vertical market systems can be managed on a unified, intelligent infrastructure.

• Avoids unnecessary duplication of infrastructure and systems, cutting first costs by 8–12 percent
• Intelligently deployed technology saves energy, reduces maintenance, and aids workflow and worker productivity, cutting operational and utility expenses
• Provides best practices for identifying gaps between system specifications, IT, security standards, and intended use
• Integration of individual systems provides a more comprehensive use of technology to support business initiatives
• Technology-independent integrator works with innovative ecosystem partners to create a connected environment
• Fewer change orders during construction and systems installation
• Applications in sectors including healthcare, education, transportation, state and local government, commercial real estate, mega-mixed use, and sports and entertainment facilities
