In the long river of human history, new technologies have always been the core force driving social change and progress. From the steam engine and power technology during the Industrial Revolution to today's artificial intelligence, big data, and new energy technologies, every emergence of new technologies has brought about significant changes in production and lifestyle. In green development, new technologies are the core driving force for enterprises to achieve green transformation. With the global climate change, the concept of green development has gradually become a global enterprise committed to smart, healthy, and sustainable building solutions. Johnson Controls, with nearly 140 years of innovative experience, uses a comprehensive digital solution OpenBlue and a complete product and solution portfolio in the field of building technology to achieve sustainable development blueprints for many fields such as healthcare, education, data centers, airports, sports venues, and manufacturing.

On August 20, 2025, Cheng Yong from Jiangsu SmartCool Engineering Co., Ltd. led a team to visit the Asia Pacific headquarters of Johnson Controls located in the Changning Airport Park in Shanghai. The total construction area of Johnson Controls Asia Pacific headquarters is 54000 square meters, with five above ground floors and one underground floor, equivalent to a medium-sized urban park, making it one of the largest office buildings in the air park area. In June 2017, the Asia Pacific headquarters building of Johnson Controls was completed and put into use in the Hongqiao Airport Economic Park in Shanghai. At that time, the newly completed Johnson Controls Asia Pacific headquarters was not only China's first "triple certified" green building, but also included IFC World Bank EDGE certification, three-star China Green Building Design Mark certification, and LEED Platinum certification for new buildings from the US Green Building Association. The LEED Platinum certification also achieved a good score of 93 points, the second highest score in the world in 2017. The team of Jiangsu Chuangleng Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. experienced the future building benchmark that integrates intelligent management, energy efficiency priority, and humanized design up close, and deeply felt the real power of technology driven sustainable development.

The technical leader of Johnson Controls China, Jiangsu SmartCool Engineering Co., Ltd team, provided a comprehensive introduction to Johnson Controls' specific practices and development in technology innovation, market expansion, and sustainability. With the support of the country for energy-saving and emission reduction policies and the continuous increase in customer demand for energy-saving and efficient equipment, it has established advantages in the new industrial market with its products, IoT technology, digital solutions, and stable control systems. Both parties had in-depth exchanges on green building system solutions and innovative application scenarios of low-carbon materials. In the future, both parties will explore cooperation opportunities for the integration of high-performance low-carbon materials and digital energy efficiency technologies, providing more valuable zero carbon solutions for China and even the Asia Pacific market.
