DUBAI: Johnson Controls, a sustainable buildings company, will be partnering with Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA) for developing the Gulf region’s first-of-its-kind sustainable new campus for the Rochester Institute of Technology Dubai (RIT Dubai).
The company said it will deploy its OpenBlue Enterprise Manager (OBEM) solution for the campus, using artificial intelligence.
OBEM will empower campus administrators to analyze field data to help address challenges around energy efficiency and optimization.
The platform will facilitate RIT Dubai with real-time monitoring, benchmarking and analysis of energy consumption and demand besides reducing operational costs and lowering environmental impact.
The company said the OpenBlue digital platform and services for optimizing buildings can drive 50 percent and more improvement in energy efficiency and corresponding carbon emissions.
The university aims at attracting students and faculty committed to building a net-zero economy. RIT Dubai has around 1,000 students and 100 staff members.
