Johnson Controls has introduced the next generation of Central Plant Optimization (CPO) software, which uses up-to-the-minute data to help operators make smart decisions for both design and operations. This scalable software looks forward over a seven-day time horizon to optimize cooling, heating and power generation in a holistic way. It reviews a myriad of ever-changing inputs every 15 minutes and updates dispatch decisions to minimize utility costs and maximize potential utility program revenues where they are available.
