This software platform enables building management systems to interface with open protocol IT systems to better manage energy, maintenance, physical security and compliance, which makes facilities more energy efficient and sustainable. Currently the platform is functional in many global business segments, including data centers, government, higher education and commercial facilities.

We are trying to help large and global organizations integrate, measure, manage and reduce their energy costs through enhanced integration and systems management, said Allen Martin, vice president and general manager–systems business of Johnson Controls. With rising energy prices and increasing concern over the environment, organizations seek solutions–such as data on their key performance indicators–to help minimize the effects of market volatility.

Customers are looking for, and Johnson Controls is committed to providing, integration of a myriad of operating systems throughout the enterprise into a single information source. The Metasys Sustainability Manager enables the convergence of IT and building management systems, providing greater information on the impact these systems have on facilities.
