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.” For more information, visit www.buildingsolutions.honeywell.com on the Web or follow @HoneywellBuild on Twitter.ing manufacturing operations, are less than a
