Turn CRE headwinds into cost-saving opportunities

Tenant flight to quality and demand for ESG-compliant office spaces are accelerating. Yet, fluctuating energy prices and rising maintenance costs mean razor thin, hard-to-predict margins for facilities management companies. Making it more challenging to deliver energy savings glidepath commitments.

Johnson Controls helps global facilities management and office building operators deliver resilient and energy efficient buildings. Our technologies scale across building portfolios and enable repeatable performance, predictable cost containment and significant cost savings.

Frequently asked questions

  • How can CRE building operators drive decarbonization at scale?

    Decarbonization at scale starts with unifying fragmented building data. Consolidating utility, meter and equipment data into a single source of truth lets operators benchmark every asset, prioritize the highest-impact projects, and track performance in one place.

  • Can energy efficiency result in significant cost savings?

    Yes. Integrated solutions like high-efficiency HVAC, modern building automation systems and digital platforms like OpenBlue can baseline and reduce energy use by up to 30% while lowering chiller maintenance costs by up to 67%.

  • Why does building performance matter to leasing demand and asset value?

    Tenants and investors are increasingly tying leasing and capital decisions to sustainability performance. High-performing, ESG-compliant buildings command rental premiums of up to 7%, attract and retain quality tenants, and protect long-term asset value as building performance standards tighten.
