Join us on our Journey to Decarbonization

At Johnson Controls, we’ve been dedicated to protecting the environment since our invention of the electric thermostat in 1885, which provided a fundamental shift in the energy efficiency of buildings. Delivering sustainable products and solutions is core to our business and growth as a global leader in smart, healthy, sustainable buildings.

What is a SMART Building?

We are creating a new class of smart buildings that are secure, healthy and sustainable.

A smart building improves well-being, achieves climate goals, and saves you money. Johnson Controls utilizes the smart building trifecta of efficiency – electrification - digitalization to make it possible to break down system silos and save both energy and money.
