Johnson Controls' transformative heat pump technology has been recognised by its inclusion in the 2023 Fortune Change the World list.
The list of the leading companies that are using creative tools to address society’s unmet needs is determined by evaluations of measurable social impact, business results and their degree of innovation.
Johnson Controls’ heat pumps use electricity to efficiently move heat, rather than burn fuel.
Buildings represent nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions and 50% of building energy consumption is used for heating and cooling.
This makes heat pumps, which boost energy efficiency by three to eight times, a critical tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
A 2022 International Energy Agency emissions report found that global emissions rose less than 1% in 2022, thanks in significant measure to unprecedented growth in energy-efficient equipment like heat pumps, renewable energy and electric vehicles. According to the report, using heat pumps in place of boilers and other traditional heating systems could replace 80% of the gas used to heat buildings, playing a significant role in helping the built environment reach net zero and drive energy security. Johnson Controls offers one of the world's most comprehensive range of heat pumps across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Urgent climate action is needed to make sustainable buildings an immediate reality
