For more than 125 years, Honeywell has provided
technology and services that improve energy efficiency
and cut utility costs. It all began in 1885 with invention of
a regulator for furnaces. And the company’s
energy-saving legacy continues today.
Nearly 50 percent of Honeywell’s portfolio company-wide
helps boost efficiency. If Honeywell’s existing
technologies were immediately and comprehensively
adopted, the United States could reduce energy demand
20-25 percent.
Addressing the rising costs of electricity and other
utilities is a particular focus for Honeywell Building
Solutions (HBS), the business that installs, integrates and
maintains the systems that keep facilities safe, secure,
comfortable and, above all, efficient. From schools to
skyscrapers, HBS provides a comprehensive array of
solutions critical to effective building management.
HBS is also a global leader in energy services, working
with organizations to conserve energy, optimize facility
operations and leverage sustainable resources. Since the
1980s, Honeywell has completed more than 5,000
energy-efficiency projects across the globe. It also has
helped 5 million homeowners decrease their energy use
through its work with utilities. Combined, these efforts
are expected to deliver more than $5 billion in energy and
operational savings.
This includes extensive work with municipalities like the
City of Dayton, Ohio. Honeywell was one of four energy
services companies selected at the outset of the Clinton
Climate Initiative to help the world’s largest cities reduce
energy consumption and emissions. And for decades,
we’ve assisted towns and metropolises alike, upgrading
their facilities and infrastructure while cutting expenses
through energy efficiency, renewable energy, microgrids,
smart grid and other improvements.
“Along with products and services, HBS also provides
general education about available financing options for
projects, ranging from performance contacts to federal
and state grants.”
