Enabling the Paris 2024 games to operate at their peak
Adidas Arena: 50% reduction in CO2 emissions
We deliver cutting-edge solutions to stadiums worldwide, demonstrated by successful projects such as La Chapelle plant. As the twelfth power plant in the city of Paris' cooling network, it meets the cooling needs of the Adidas Arena and the surrounding area. This equipment provides sustainable and energy-efficient cooling at one of the flagship sites of the Olympic Games.
Real-time data for enhanced performance
Another example is a renowned tennis stadium where the Johnson Controls Metasys building automation system links the most vital building equipment including HVAC, lighting control and energy management. The system controls and monitors performance and provides real-time data so facility managers can identify potential issues, make adjustments and ensure the stadium is running as efficiently and sustainably as possible.
Advanced Analytics Make Your Arena Smarter
Today, the sports and entertainment industry embraces technology to make the fan experience richer and more enjoyable. At Johnson Controls, we’ve helped venues around the globe create safe, secure, and connected environments. We look at more than sight lines, seat width, and concessions. We help venues integrate technologies to give your tech-savvy fans and event-goers new ways to connect to their passions and to share their experiences.
We link consumer technologies like web services, point-of-sales systems, digital signage, and concessions. We deploy operational components like high-density Wi-Fi, integrated lighting control, and voice and data capabilities. By leveraging customer data gathered at every fan touchpoint—from parking patterns to ticketing to concessions—we help you build new businesses, unlock new revenue streams, and capture operational efficiencies. In addition, an integrated infrastructure of all systems—building, IT, business, sports, and entertainment—can make venues more energy efficient and more adaptable. We can help you improve the bottom line.
Sustainable Operations Help Save Money and the Environment
The drive to energy efficiency and sustainability continues to gather momentum, and we are here to help make your facility as green as you want it to be. For new construction as well as retrofits, take advantage of state-of-the-art systems from Johnson Controls to make heating and cooling more efficient and more environmentally friendly.
A more efficient, more sustainable venue generates multiple benefits aside from the most important one of reducing your environmental footprint. Fans increasingly appreciate a “green” facility. Sustainable facilities perform better, with less energy, with obvious impact on the bottom line.
Life Safety Has Become a High-tech Function
Fans, patrons, and cities all benefit from more secure arenas and safer neighborhoods around them. We have created technologically-rich life-safety solutions for large facilities, ranging from electronic access controls and video surveillance to fire and security alarms, and digital voice evacuation—all centralized for easy management and rapid response. We help you ensure your facility and surrounding areas are safe and secure.
