Case Studies
Slug: microsoft-beijing-johnson-controls-openblue Category: Case Studies Published: 2024 Microsoft's Beijing West Campus deployed Johnson Controls' AI-enhanced OpenBlue platform to manage a 150,000-square-meter complex with horizontal data…
Occupancy Analytics
Post-COVID hybrid work has permanently reshaped commercial real estate utilization. We analyzed occupancy patterns from 2024–2026 across APAC portfolios, revealing that average utilization sits between 30–60%, with volatile mid-week peaks and…
Occupancy Analytics
Not all occupancy sensors are created equal. We evaluated Wi-Fi counting, passive infrared (PIR), CO₂, and camera-based AI across four buildings over 18 months.

Grid-Interactive Buildings
Northern Taiwan faces a hard cap on new data center capacity. With 79 pending applications totaling 4,758 MW competing for grid access, developers must navigate a complex regulatory landscape.
Grid-Interactive Buildings
Taipower requires 1 MW of battery energy storage (BESS) from data center operators. Most see it as a regulatory mandate. Smart operators convert it into a competitive advantage through time-of-use arbitrage, demand response participation, and…
