Smart and Sustainable Buildings: With Johnson Controls

InsightDotTech Talk

Did you know that commercial and industrial buildings contribute to almost half of the world’s carbon footprint? When you think about it like that, you can see why more and more businesses are committing to aggressive sustainability goals. And the best way to achieve net zero or carbon neutrality is by creating smart, connected, and sustainable buildings—especially in today’s hybrid work environment.

For example, if only half your workforce comes to the office at any given time, it doesn’t make economic sense to keep all the lights on all the time. And it’s more than just lights. It’s HVAC systems, air quality, security systems, and power supply that all play a role—from office spaces to bathrooms, cafeterias, and even parking lots.

In this podcast we look at what a smart building means, technologies that make a building “smart,” and the role buildings play in larger sustainability efforts.

Join us as we explore these ideas with: Graeme Jarvis, Vice President of Digital Solutions, Johnson Controls Sunita Shenoy, Senior Director of Technology Products, Intel®Christina Cardoza, Associate Editorial Director, insight.tech
