ATLANTA, Sept. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON), a global leader in connected buildings,
announced today it will have selling rights to KE2 Therm Solutions,
including industry-leading smart controllers for the refrigeration
industry, in the grocery vertical. The combined expertise of
Honeywell, the inventor of the retail multi-site energy management
industry, and KE2 Therm will help grocers, convenience stores and
restaurants lower energy costs, reduce spoilage and meet regulatory
guidelines.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, grocery stores are
responsible for approximately nine percent of the total energy
consumed by commercial buildings[1] in the United States, of which more than 50
percent is from refrigeration.[2]
With the agreement, KE2 Therm will also sell Honeywell Multisite
technologies including its Novar building controls systems, E-MON
electrical meters, and Manning refrigerant leak detection
sensors.
"Honeywell is the only building automation manufacturer that
provides full-service energy management support to the retail
industry so owners can focus on other critical parts of their
operations," said Matt Call, general
manager, Honeywell Multisite. "By combining our enterprise-level
capabilities with KE2 Therm's smart edge level controls, we will
deliver bottom line savings to any grocer, retailer or restaurant
chain using refrigeration."
"KE2 Therm is specified by a wide range of end users,
consultants and major OEM manufacturers of evaporators, and walk-in
freezers and coolers," said Patrick
Holdmeyer, president and CEO of KE2 Therm. "Top U.S. and
global restaurant and supermarket chains recognize the benefits of
KE2 Therm controls and specify them for both new install and
retrofit applications. We are excited to work with Honeywell to
serve an even larger customer base."
