JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As Indonesia's hospitality sector recovers and grows in the energy transition era, Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning Indonesia, a global leader in HVAC technology, is driving HVAC transformation in the hotel sector. Focusing on flexibility, sustainability, health and well-being, the company delivers advanced, energy-efficient, IoT-driven solutions to ensure operational efficiency, guest comfort, and environmental responsibility.
According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS-Statistics Indonesia), star hotel occupancy grew by nearly 14% YoY from 2021 to 2024, signalling recovery. However, the industry faces new challenges: evolving guest preferences, staffing shortages, stricter energy standards, and Indonesia's Net Zero 2060 target. Hotels will need to adapt to accommodate digital nomads and long-stay travellers, improve indoor air quality (IAQ), and upgrade infrastructure to meet sustainability goals.
"Indonesia's hospitality sector is growing, despite the challenges. One thing we are sure is that sustainability is no longer optional—it's a necessity. Our innovative HVAC solutions are designed to address issues, helping hotels adapt, thrive, and contribute to a sustainable future," said Susanna, General Manager at Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning Indonesia.

Sustainability at the Core
With rising energy costs and stricter regulations, sustainability is critical. Our air365 Max VRF system offers significant improvements in energy consumption. Thanks to the high Cooling EER up to 5.40 & SmoothDrive technology which helps to reduce running costs during part-load operation. Overall, the air365 Max efficiency drives reduction of energy consumption and carbon footprint by 47%. With IoT enabled controls such as airCloud Pro, remote monitoring and predictive maintenance are made easier, ensuring long term efficiency
Prioritizing Health and Well-being
