T and Johnson Controls has announced a new collaboration to help business customers in the UK and internationally benefit from Smart buildings technology to digitally monitor , analyse and optimise energy use in workplaces . Buildings from offices to factories can all benefit , helping customers reach net zero faster while reducing operating costs .
The global leaders in their respective fields will build on their extensive expertise in sustainable building management and global networking to make it easier for customers to reduce emissions from buildings around the world .
According to the World Green Building Council , buildings are responsible for almost 40 % of greenhouse gas emissions and the IEA finds they consume at least 30 % of energy globally . Smart and sustainable buildings are on the rise as they represent a key opportunity in helping to meet climate targets . At the same time , the number of subsystems , IoT devices and data is increasing exponentially , driving demand for secure and reliable networks . Connectivity to the cloud is now needed in areas within buildings that may have been poorly served by legacy networking solutions .
Sarwar Khan , Global Head of Digital Sustainability , Business , BT , said : “ Our collaboration with Johnson Controls will help BT deliver on its pledge to help customers avoid 60 million tonnes of CO 2 by the end of March 2030 .
