Johnson Controls emphasizes several key benefits of integrating energy storage with building technology, though specific details on each benefit might vary. However, based on their general approach to smart buildings and energy management, the following advantages can be inferred:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: By seamlessly integrating energy storage solutions with building management systems (BMS), buildings can optimize their energy usage. This integration helps manage energy demand more effectively, leading to reduced energy consumption and enhanced efficiency.
- Cost Savings: Energy storage allows buildings to store energy during off-peak hours when it’s cheaper and use it during peak hours, reducing electricity costs. Additionally, optimizing energy usage can lead to significant cost savings.
- Enhanced Sustainability: Integrating energy storage promotes sustainable practices by helping buildings manage their energy usage more effectively, thereby reducing carbon emissions and supporting net-zero building goals.
- Increased Reliability and Resilience: Energy storage systems provide backup power during outages, ensuring continuous operation of critical building systems and enhancing overall reliability.
- Optimized Maintenance: By integrating energy storage with smart building platforms like OpenBlue, buildings can benefit from predictive maintenance and reduced downtime, as seen with potential reductions in chiller maintenance costs.
Overall, Johnson Controls’ solutions aim to optimize building performance while supporting sustainable and cost-effective practices.
