OpenBlue Expands Use of AI and Autonomous Building Controls
Turning AI-based insights into energy savings recommendations by leveraging energy and weather data. With OpenBlue, customers can benefit from up to a 30% reduction in energy spend, up to 20% reduction in maintenance spend, and 10% more optimized space utilization - a win for the environment and the bottom line.
OpenBlue Enterprise Manager continues to lead the charge towards autonomous buildings with additional integrated AI capabilities. Providing real-time data visibility across assets, people, and processes. With a single-pane-of-glass interface, you have a gateway to the live activity of your building.
The new features allow you to accelerate toward building autonomy, greater sustainability, and achieve lower operating costs. You can experience these new features now and pave the way for additional AI enhancements that will factor in globally accepted regulatory standards and real-time operating conditions to correlate savings with equipment performance and regulatory compliance.
Turning insights into energy savings using generative AI
OpenBlue Enterprise Manager now features integrated generative AI tools that proactively recommend the most impactful energy savings projects, reducing the need to analyze large amounts of building data. Without needing to write prompts, the system anticipates common needs, such as analyzing energy usage based on live weather data and chosen baselines, to create actionable insights, helping you achieve energy savings and reduction in carbon emissions.
Additionally, OpenBlue Enterprise Manager now supports system and user-generated Energy Conservation Measures (ECM) projects, allowing you to track energy conservation projects across over 130 categories, thereby enhancing data accuracy and flexibility in managing decarbonization strategies.
Driving toward autonomous buildings
Driving forward the future of autonomous buildings allows you to run your buildings with less manual intervention than ever before. It can automatically adjust setpoints based on fault diagnostics, saving energy, and accelerating the capture of potential savings. You can switch between getting advice or enabling autonomous controls while setting your own operational constraints.
“The expansion of customer-facing AI features into Johnson Controls OpenBlue marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of building management technology."

Refreshed user experience
This release includes major upgrades to the user experience, focusing on improving design, simplified navigation, and compliance with a higher level of accessibility standards. With a focus on user adoption and impact, the system supports personalization to enable a quick view of primary insights and enables appropriate action in the context of the space, location, and equipment.
With increased focus on space utilization, the system provides an even clearer picture of how spaces are actually used by building occupants.
Detailed visitor insights are available throughout the entire portfolio of buildings, improving the understanding and management of visitor activities, along with intelligent planning when anomalies occur.
Operators can also schedule services, like facility cleaning, based on detailed occupancy insights, saving resources and money. Updates also support improved indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring with a broader ecosystem of sensor partners to support the trend toward smarter, healthier buildings.
