What the company does

Johnson Controls equips buildings from the inside: industrial HVAC, fire protection, security and the software that runs the whole building. Its bet is the smart, efficient building, with data centers as the unexpected star customer.

What will shape its future

  • Data-center cooling, the tailwind that has transformed its order book.
  • Building energy efficiency, pushed by regulation and power bills.
  • Service and retrofits on its huge installed base, the recurring cushion.
