Johnson Controls introduces Metasys 15.0 building automation system with expanded scalability and energy intelligence
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin, United States, November 19 2025: Johnson Controls announced the launch of Metasys 15.0, the latest version of its building automation system. Making the announcement through a Press Release, Johnson Controls said the system was designed to meet the demands of mission-critical environments and that Metasys 15.0 delivers scalability, built-in resiliency and instant energy intelligence giving facility managers the tools to optimise building performance, ensure compliance and accelerate decarbonisation.
Johnson Controls said Metasys 15.0 supports up to 1,000 IP devices per server, which it noted is 60 percent more than most building automation systems available today. The company said the system includes multi-server redundancy with simultaneous backup alongside a ready-to-use Energy Management suite that provides real-time insights and actionable data.
Kaishi Zhang, Vice President, Product Management, Building Automation Systems, Johnson Controls, said: “Building operators today must navigate a complex landscape of energy goals, operational demands and evolving workforce needs. The latest release of Metasys delivers a secure, intuitive BMS platform that ensures reliability, simplifies energy oversight and reduces reliance on specialised labor – essential for deploying across critical applications where performance and uptime matter more than ever before. We’re thrilled to launch this highly anticipated release, a technology that symbolises the roots of Johnson Controls and where our experts continue to redefine building automation.”
According to Johnson Controls, the Metasys 15.0 simplifies deployment and can be scaled across multiple buildings and sites, bringing competitive advantages to mission critical industries such as healthcare systems, data centers and large campuses, while bolstering uptime and efficiency. Johnson Controls said Metasys 15.0 can support up to 50,000 objects and 1,000 IP devices per server, allowing the system to be deployed across large healthcare campuses, universities and multi-site enterprises without requiring additional hardware. By enabling IP devices to communicate directly with the server, the company said organisations can reduce infrastructure costs by eliminating intermediary components. The company said the new multi-server redundancy backs up critical alerts, trends and audit logs across two Metasys servers simultaneously. According to Johnson Controls, this approach supports operational continuity, data availability and compliance in mission-critical environments.
The company said the Energy Management suite provides ready-to-use applications intended to help users access and interpret information related to energy management, engineering productivity and cybersecurity. The company added that these tools are designed to support operational improvements and long-term planning. Johnson Controls said facility managers can configure and manage the system through a web client, reducing equipment setup time compared to previous versions and removing the need for server shutdowns or external support. Johnson Controls said the Metasys 15.0 continues to function as an open building automation platform, supporting widely used third-party IT and OT protocols, including BACnet, MSPP and M-Bus.
Johnson Controls said Metasys is a cornerstone of its product ecosystem and delivers integration across a broad spectrum of building technologies. The company said this integration is aimed at unlocking energy efficiency, system-wide optimisation and thermal performance. Johnson Controls said the combined impact of Metasys with its HVAC, fire and security technologies and the OpenBlue smart building ecosystem can deliver lower operating costs and a stronger return on investment.
