Johnson Controls announced that its OpenBlue digital platform technologies will be rolled out across Derwent London's portfolio. This rollout will drive the digital transformation of Derwent London's estate, enabling new possibilities for operational efficiency, occupant experiences and sustainability in one dynamic solution. After a successful pilot at its White Collar Factory building, Derwent London is adopting a suite of Johnson Controls OpenBlue technologies ? including OpenBlue Enterprise Manager and OpenBlue Central Utility Plant optimisation ? across 22 of its buildings in London. This represents approximately 55% of its total estate by area and includes Derwent London's net zero carbon development The Featherstone Building. OpenBlue Central Utility Plant is responsible for the efficient and effective management of the biggest consumer of a building's energy ? the Central Plant. Using AI and Machine Learning, the software constantly adjusts and optimises thousands of variables every 15 minutes, significantly reducing baseline energy load, while keeping occupants comfortable. Johnson Controls OpenBlue digital platform and services for optimising buildings are capable of driving significant improvements in energy efficiency and corresponding carbon emissions.
