Chances are you know Johnson Controls as a market-leading HVAC provider — but that’s just part of the picture. We offer complete design, build, finance, operate and maintain services with guaranteed outcomes. Partner with us for solutions and benefits like these.


As-a-service business models:
Cut energy costs with no upfront investment

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is the epitome of partnership. Using a forward-thinking concession model, we operate your energy systems and handle capital planning, upgrades and operations. In turn, you pay us for energy at a competitive rate — with outcomes guaranteed.

The benefits are clear: You protect your balance sheet while improving resilience and uptime. Our design-build-operate-maintain approach ensures you have experts running your energy system, even in a time of skilled labor shortages. And you transfer all the risk — financial, operational, labor, and equipment performance — to us for the life of the contract. This model works for both new construction and retrofits, especially where deferred maintenance is a challenge.

Currently Johnson Controls holds $6.83 billion in performance-based guarantees through approximately 344 active projects across North America.


Flexible financing:
Get the right structure for your operating style

We recognize that one financing approach does not fit all. Along with as-a-service models we offer performance contracts, P3s, renewable energy services, traditional debt financing, and installment purchase and leasing—through Johnson Controls Capital and other providers.

Here’s where partnership brings you additional benefits. Thanks to our strong relationships with national and regional lenders, tax-exempt lease purchase providers, and energy-focused financial institutions, we can secure highly competitive interest rates. We specialize in bundling multiple funding sources to meet your budget constraints while delivering maximum energy and operational savings.


Engineering expertise:
Know the technology will work for you

The success of your infrastructure upgrade relies on our understanding of building systems, including HVAC, lighting, security, fire detection and suppression, and water. We know how to make those systems work together to help you increase productivity and meet KPIs.

You also benefit from our innovative, industry-leading technology in building automation and connected equipment, and brand-agnostic expertise to maximize current systems and equipment. Our AI-powered solutions help you analyze data for productive, practical insights to improve operations and maintenance, simplify reporting and streamline compliance.

This expertise comes over time, not overnight. You can be confident that your facility is properly engineered and maintained to flex as needs change and to produce the desired outcomes for decades.
