Johnson Controls Collaborates with National University Singapore for Building Data Breakthrough
BRICK Schema integration allows for quicker, easier building data connections
The open-source schema describes smart buildings and their subsystems in a format that enables software to more easily and quickly connect to a larger number of buildings.
This makes for a standardized model for building data labels that supports better understanding of metadata usage across all building types.
What does this mean?
It means greatly improved overall sustainability and operational efficiency.
Collaboration drives innovation
This is just the latest step forward taken by this $5 million partnership, based at the on-campus Johnson Controls OpenBlue Innovation Center in Singapore.
As part of our collaboration, we pledged to focus our considerable expert energies on co-creating people-centric smart building systems to power smarter, safer, more connected places and spaces.
The OpenBlue Innovation Center facility, which is located within the School of Design and Environment (SDE), is a living laboratory for a new breed of customizable, contact-free applications built on OpenBlue, the Johnson Controls digital platform for connected solutions and services.
This BRICK schema integration is a great accomplishment and core strategic goal for the team. Meeting tomorrow’s buildings demands today
The OpenBlue Innovation Center facility, which is located within the School of Design and Environment (SDE), is a living laboratory for a new breed of customizable, contact-free applications built on OpenBlue, the Johnson Controls digital platform for connected solutions and services.
Together with its ecosystem of partners — which includes NUS and Microsoft — the center is pioneering the use of a common configuration language that bridges core building technology with behavioral, wellness, and spatial data to develop solutions that meet new demands for safety and sustainability in connected spaces.
