Integrating the diverse systems within your building is a vital element of energy efficiency and increased productivity. Johnson Controls has the expertise that it takes to help you with systems integration across your entire organization.
Our flagship Metasys® system comes complete with a number of features designed to make systems integration effortless. Johnson Controls also offers custom systems integration solutions to guarantee compatibility through every one of your building subsystems.
Open Systems Standards for Full Building Automation System Integration
For the best results, a building automation system should be able to work with the existing equipment in your building, regardless of manufacturer.

- N2
- XML
- Web Services
- OPC
By adopting an open approach to communication, Metasys® can connect with everything from your commercial and industrial HVAC systems to security devices. This makes it easier and quicker for you to get access to the crucial data you need, and take appropriate action to maintain efficiency and performance.
Building Automation Systems Integration with Proprietary Standards
Although many of the more reputable providers of building systems are moving towards an open approach to connectivity to facilitate the use of centralized systems, there may still be occasions when your system needs to use proprietary forms of communication.
Our building automation system provides a wide array of paths to integrate proprietary protocols and systems from the equipment of most major manufacturers, including Honeywell, Siemens, Andover, CSI, Invensys and Trane.
