Johnson Controls Officially Opens its S$50 million Innovation Center in NUS

Published

on

Johnson Controls, the global leader for smart and sustainable buildings, today announced the opening of its S$50 million OpenBlue Innovation Center to create a future-ready built environment for Singapore and the region. The facility, located within the School of Design and Environment (SDE), at the National University of Singapore (NUS), will be a living laboratory for a new breed of customizable, contact-free applications built on Johnson Controls’ unifying technology suite, OpenBlue. 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.

The 240 square-meter center is housed in SDE4, which is Singapore’s first new-build net-zero energy building. It will have sensors fitted throughout the indoor space — including overhead ventilation to measure air flow, and on furniture that provides insights on occupants’ alertness level. Engineers from the center and collaborating NUS researchers will collect and analyze data using OpenBlue, leveraging artificial intelligence and analytics to obtain a qualitative and quantitative understanding of the interactions between technology, indoor environments, and occupant well-being. The ecosystem of partners will tap on the intelligence generated from the center to create evidence-backed solutions for healthier, safer, and connected indoor spaces.

Visal Leng, president, Building Solutions, Asia Pacific, Johnson Controls, said: “The Johnson Controls OpenBlue Innovation Center embodies our approach towards building dynamic and resilient spaces, injecting new lease of life into the built environment sector. Taking an unprecedented holistic and human-centric methodology, we are incorporating people and design perspectives, thus sparking greater innovation within industries and outside traditional boundaries.”

OpenBlue, is a suite of connected platform, solutions and services that combines the Company’s 135 years of building expertise with cutting-edge digital technology. This open digital platform, when integrated with Johnson Controls core building systems and enhanced by ecosystem partners, connects traditionally separate systems to create new capabilities for safer, more agile, and sustainable space usages.

NUS will serve as a living laboratory for the OpenBlue Innovation Center’s pioneering solutions, thus helping the university in its ongoing efforts to develop a smart, sustainable and safe campus for its staff and students. The collaboration also includes joint research and innovation in the areas on built and urban environment, particularly in data analytics, sustainability and operations, as well as people and wellness. There will also be opportunities for collaboration on teaching and internship programs.

Professor Yong Kwet Yew, NUS Senior Vice President (Campus Infrastructure), said: “NUS and Johnson Controls have collaborated on several campus projects and we are therefore very excited to extend our partnership through these new initiatives which are part of our Smart, Safe and Sustainable Campus strategies. The opportunity to test Johnson Controls’ novel solutions on our campus and conduct joint research will help advance our ongoing efforts to build smarter, healthier and sustainable work, teaching and learning spaces for our staff, faculty and students.”

In 2008, Johnson Controls was the appointed partner to implement a converged campus building management solution for NUS University Town. The University Town achieved the Green Mark District Award, the first for NUS, in 2010. Throughout the last 10 years, Johnson Controls had introduced different technologies to enable the precinct to achieve energy savings of 20 per cent. The latest remote maintenance capability introduced at UTown has also proven to be practical and crucial during the current pandemic conditions.

Professor Lam Khee Poh, Dean of NUS School of Design and Environment, said: “Our School of Design and Environment is thrilled to host the Johnson Controls’ OpenBlue Innovation Center in SDE4 and to facilitate cross-disciplinary research and development initiatives across the entire NUS community. This partnership strengthens the School’s ‘Well & Green’ vision that emphasizes a people-centric integrated design approach that generates sustainable and resilient value propositions in its endeavors.”

Johnson Controls announced the setup of the OpenBlue Innovation Center, with support from the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), in mid-2020. The facility is expected to have more than 100 employees within four years, with strong focus on talent development with NUS at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels. The investment marks the company’s commitment to spearhead the creation and adoption of disruptive solutions for the built environment industry in the region.

on

precisely-continues-to-expand-reach-and-capabilities-for-data-enrichment-and-geo-addressing

New global Address Fabric™ and Property Attributes offerings help customers access unparalleled location-based insights, supercharged by the PreciselyID
BURLINGTON, Mass., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Precisely, the global leader in data integrity, today announced further expansions in the global coverage and capabilities of its data enrichment and geo addressing portfolio. New additions to the Address Fabric and Property Attributes products underscore the company’s continued commitment to helping customers easily unlock greater location-based context from their data, enabled by its unique and persistent identifier, the PreciselyID.

Virtually every business worldwide captures and stores address information, with the average large business in the United States now estimated to store over 100 million unique addresses. However, navigating the inherent data integrity challenges is notoriously difficult, as it involves new buildings, changing street names, different country formats, and more.
Expanded Address Fabric Reach
Precisely customers can now access the Address Fabric dataset for Great Britain, France, and New Zealand – providing the most current and comprehensive lists of all known physical addresses across these countries. The new datasets expand Precisely’s existing coverage for the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Address Fabric data is easy to use with any database and analytics environment without needing specific geospatial expertise or tools. Customers can analyze address locations for various applications, including identifying new serviceable addresses, discovering new customers through look-a-like analysis, or selecting a site for new stores or network expansion opportunities.
Comprehensive Property Attributes Information
Precisely also announced the expansion of its Property Attributes products for the United States with 26 new attributes now available via integration with Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data. The MLS database of property listings is used by real estate agents to share information about homes currently on the market, including whether a property is affiliated with a Homeowner’s Association or if it’s considered a rental property.
With the latest updates, Property Attributes products now include over 230 different property information attributes across virtually every county located in the United States, providing a highly comprehensive view of a property and its key characteristics, such as details on land use, square footage, construction materials, and year built.
Address Fabric and Property Attributes leverage best-in-class geo addressing solutions from Precisely to provide the most accurate location information possible. Because each record is appended with a unique PreciselyID that remains persistent even when address elements change, customers can unlock greater value by enriching their data with additional information such as points of interest data, risk factors, demographics data, and much more.
“Precisely continues to be at the forefront of data enrichment and geo addressing solutions, enabling customers where they are on their data journey and supporting them with access to consistent location-based insights across their countries of operation,” said Dan Adams, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Data Enrichment at Precisely. “An essential element of data integrity, our unique PreciselyID makes address management and enrichment simple by eliminating time-consuming data preparation and augmenting insights with rich, relevant context.”  
Precisely is renowned for its expertise in helping customers reveal maximum context from their data, with a comprehensive portfolio that includes over 400 datasets containing more than 9000 attributes. The company also recently joined the Overture Maps Foundation, founded by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom, providing guidance on location intelligence and data enrichment to help drive exciting new advancements in geospatial technology.

The data center market in Australia has been witnessing significant growth in investments over the past few years. It is expected to grow at an absolute growth rate of around 20% between 2023-2029. Australia is among the top destinations for data center investments in the APAC region.
Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth are the primary data center hubs hosting most data centers in the country. Canberra, Brisbane, Darwin, and other cities are among the emerging locations in Australia with abundant land availability for data center development.
Investment Opportunities
In November 2023, OVHcloud announced the launch of its upcoming SYD3 Sydney data center facility, which is expected to be operational in 2024.In November of 2023, Rest Super invested about $656 million in a data center in Brisbane, which Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners are developing.In November 2023, NEXTDC announced the development of the D1 data center facility in Darwin; the facility is expected to go operational by Q2 2024.AirTrunk announced the expansion of its SYD2 data center campus in Sydney; once fully built, the facility will account for an additional power capacity of around 30 MW, making it an aggregate capacity of around 120 MW. This second phase is expected to be completed in 2024. AirTrunk’s upcoming SYD3 Sydney facility calls for an aggregate investment of about $670 million.In an August 2023 news article, Macquarie Data Centres revealed its plan to expand its upcoming IC3 Super West facility in Sydney regarding power capacity. As per January 2024 news article, Macquarie Data Centres has received approval to build/grow the IC3 Super West, its third facility in Sydney.In August 2023, STACK Infrastructure announced the MEL01 A data center launch in Melbourne, located at 399 Palmers Road. The entire campus will have a power capacity of around 72 MW, divided equally between buildings A and B. As of early 2024, Building B is still a work in progress. Furthermore, the company plans new facilities in Canberra, Hume, and Perth.Rising Procurement of Renewable Energy in Australia Boosting the Market Opportunities
In 2022, according to IRENA, solar energy accounted for around 61% of Australia’s overall renewable energy capacity, followed by wind, hydro, and bioenergy (in decreasing order), from which renewable power is extracted for all the sustainable energy needs of the country. Australia aims to achieve its target of zero carbon emissions by 2050. The country announced plans to reach almost 43% less emission than in 2005.
According to the Australia National Electricity Market (NEM), the renewable energy share in the country is expected to reach around 41% by 2030. By 2025, Australia aims to achieve 100% instantaneous renewable energy for its main grid, starting with a half-hour period and gradually increasing to cover hours and days. This transition will be facilitated by an increase in wind, solar, and energy storage solutions to meet the country’s new target of 82% renewables by 2030. The retirement of coal-based power generation facilities in the coming years will contribute to this goal.

Published

invoca-named-a-leader-in-real-time-revenue-execution-platforms-report

Report recognises Invoca’s innovative platform for delivering “game-changing AI capabilities to revenue teams.”
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Invoca today announced that Forrester Research has named Invoca as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Real-Time Revenue Execution Platforms, Q2 2024 report. Forrester evaluated the most significant revenue execution platform vendors based on three main categories — current offering, strategy, and market presence — along with interviews with customers. Invoca is the top-ranked vendor in both the current offering and strategy categories and among the top-ranked in market presence. Invoca also received the highest possible score in 19 of the 31 evaluation criteria, including AI differentiators, AI: large language model utilisation, Marketing: performance optimisation, In-call guidance: pre-call insights, System configuration: privacy, and Interaction capture: integrations.

The report states, “[Invoca’s] success starts with a vision focused on enabling revenue teams to drive growth by delivering the most complete platform for optimising the entire buying experience. Invoca has a track record of innovation that continues to raise the bar on what is possible to fulfil its vision.”
Revenue Execution Platforms Unify the Buying Journey to Drive Revenue Growth
Invoca’s revenue execution platform enables revenue teams to connect customer buying journey data across the marketing team that engages customers and the sales teams that close the deals.

Invoca also enables sales teams in the contact centre or at distributed business locations to access information from the customer’s digital journey from a centralised source, enabling them to provide the best call experience possible and close more sales opportunities.
Revenue Execution Platforms Needed to Power Today’s Buyer Journey
“B2C revenue teams across marketing and sales are feeling more pressure to directly connect revenue to their investments. But a lack of alignment and poor visibility of the full buying journey makes that nearly impossible,” said Peter Isaacson, Chief Marketing Officer at Invoca. “I believe Invoca was named a revenue execution Leader because we help marketing and sales teams manage the complete buyer journey from the first click to the final sale, so they can drive revenue growth.”
By using Invoca’s comprehensive revenue execution platform, revenue teams can connect their paid media investments directly to revenue, improve digital engagement and deliver the best buyer experiences to drive more sales. The Forrester report states that “reference customers rave about the versatility of the platform and its collaboration with customers around enhancements.”
Windstream, an Invoca customer, embodies this approach to revenue execution by tightly aligning the marketing and sales teams so they can work together to increase revenue.
“‍We’re a better marketing organisation because we have a strong partnership with sales,” said Aaron Pierce, VP of Marketing at Windstream. “Our teams have realised that we make each other better — I think that’s the biggest win. And now, when we have a problem, we can put all the smartest people together in the room to tackle it.”
“The Invoca platform has allowed us to unlock a ‘full-funnel’ view of our marketing performance that incorporates both online and offline,” said Lorenzo Clark, VP of Digital Sales at Windstream. “Now, we can get a read on lead quality because we can see what’s happening on sales calls and also track sales performance on a lead-by-lead basis.”
