Johnson Controls, the global leader in smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, has unveiled Cooling as a Service (CaaS) - a new innovation set to reshape the cooling industry. CaaS is a capital-free, innovative solution that revolutionizes the traditional cooling model. Fully managed by Johnson Controls, it covers the entire cooling lifecycle from equipment upgrade to ongoing operation, service and maintenance – ensuring optimal performance and customer satisfaction. The company will launch the solution in 2023 with a UAE-based customer.
“With record temperatures in the region and across many parts of the globe, the launch of CaaS marks a pivotal moment – allowing businesses to quickly transform their buildings into more efficient and sustainable assets while spreading the cost of capital,” said Mohammad Khalid, vice president, and general manager for the Middle East and Africa region at Johnson Controls. “In a world where buildings contribute around 40% of global emissions that mostly come from heating and cooling, upgrading equipment is key to reducing carbon footprint and meeting sustainability targets.”
Johnson Controls’ CaaS offers customers a complete cooling solution including consultancy, design, equipment installation, digital connectivity, and a full range of flexible and scalable services to suit customer requirements. It is suitable for new and existing facilities and can be tailored to a range of business sectors including property management, residential, commercial offices, retail, hospitality, and more. As a true pay-per-use model, customers only pay for what they use to cool their premises and have full transparency over usage, performance, efficiency.
When paired with Johnson Controls’ OpenBlue platform and its cloud, edge, and AI technologies, CaaS can digitally transform buildings and further enhance energy efficiency and usage.
