2020 Johnson Controls Energy Efficiency Indicator Study

The 14th edition of our Energy Efficiency Indicator study surveyed 150 commercial, institutional and industrial facility executives in the U.S. in September 2020. The COVID-19 pulse survey included questions on coronavirus-related improvements, investments and impacts.

The percentage of organizations saying that improving occupant health and wellness was an extremely or very important driver of investment increased from 62 percent to 74 percent in 2020.

Increasing building flexibility to respond to coronavirus and other emergency conditions was second in priority only to cost savings in driving investment during the pandemic.
