New pharma HQ projected to save over $100K annually

At its ten-floor new headquarters, the organization wanted to create an environment that supports employee wellbeing while operating more efficiently. Facility teams also needed clearer visibility into space use, energy performance, and environmental conditions to make informed decisions and stay on track toward net zero commitments.

Multiple building systems were brought together through OpenBlue, creating a connected platform that gives teams a unified view of performance across HVAC, lighting and occupancy.

Real time insights into indoor conditions such as temperature, air quality, and space utilization, helped identify opportunities to enhance occupant comfort while improving efficiency.

With centralized data and dashboards, the company could better manage space, streamline operations, and plan for long term energy and carbon reductions. The connected setup also supported the consolidation of a nearby site, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption to day-to-day work.

Performance insights highlighted potential savings of:

• Uncover over $100K in annual cost savings
• 246,458 kWh in annual energy savings
• 91 metric tons of CO2e in emissions avoided each year

These projections demonstrate the potential of data-driven building management to improve comfort, efficiency, and sustainability across large-scale facilities.

The organization is a multinational biopharmaceutical company operating research, manufacturing, and distribution sites around the world. It develops medicines and vaccines across a wide range of therapeutic areas and supports large-scale production and global supply for healthcare partners. The company operates more than 90 offices worldwide.
