CORK,
Ireland, Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy
and sustainable buildings, today announced it was named a leader in
energy management software by independent industry analyst firm
Verdantix in its Green Quadrant: Energy Management Software
2023 report.
"Buildings contribute nearly 40% of global emissions and new
levels of efficiency and sustainability can only be achieved
through digitalization," said Johnson Controls Chief Technology
Officer Vijay Sankaran. "Recognition
as a leader in the Energy Management Software industry speaks
volumes about our work and solutions that continue to create the
spaces and places that improve well-being, achieve climate goals
and save money."
This Green Quadrant: Energy Management Software 2023 report
provides a detailed, fact-based comparison of the most prominent
energy management software (EMS) vendors evaluated on their
innovation and product strategy and customer satisfaction through
product demonstrations, vendor responses and
interviews. Through its analysis, Verdantix found a dramatic
improvement of energy management capabilities in Johnson Controls'
offerings since evaluations in 2015 and 2018. Through the launch of
OpenBlue and a targeted acquisition strategy to bolster and deepen
capabilities, Johnson Controls has enriched its offering with
additional energy and sustainability management features. Johnson
Controls received high scores relative to fifteen leading EMS
vendors both in capabilities (e.g., breadth and depth of
functionality) and momentum (e.g., customer adoption, strategy
investment). OpenBlue is rated higher than other EMS software
providers for capabilities including autonomous operations and
control, energy monitoring and reporting and innovation and product
strategy.
"As a Green Quadrant Leader in Energy Management Software,
Johnson Controls has established itself as a leader in the energy
management space and is helping customers unlock energy
efficiencies, achieve sustainability goals, and harness digital
insights," said Harry Wilson,
Industry Analyst, Verdantix. "We found the company's offerings are
transitioning from those of a traditional building technology
manufacturer, to those of a software solutions provider with a
deeper focus on equipment integration and control
capabilities."
Already recognized as a leader in the Green Quadrant: IOT
Platforms for Smart Buildings 2022, the cornerstone of the Johnson
Controls energy management offering is OpenBlue, an
industry-leading ecosystem of connected technologies, expertise and
