"The UTC Center for Intelligent Buildings is more than a world
headquarters for our business – it's the embodiment of our
commitment to our customers," said Bob
McDonough, president, UTC Climate, Controls & Security.
"This building was designed specifically to show our global
customers exactly what is possible in the building technology
space. That's why we've chosen to openly display critical building
technologies that are typically hidden in basements, closets and on
rooftops. These solutions are vital to productive, safe and secure
indoor environments, and our new building is a celebration of the
modern life they enable."
Employees working in the building today – and those filling the
100 new jobs expected to be created in Florida by 2021 – will benefit from the same
advanced technologies. The Center is designed to indoor air quality
conditions found by Harvard University
researchers to double occupants' cognitive function test scores
compared to a conventional building environment. In addition,
employees will have access to a custom mobile app that will enable
access to the building, control the temperature and lighting in
their workspaces, and help them find their next meeting through
wayfinding capabilities. Further, the office space is also designed
to be open and collaborative, incorporating employee feedback and
expert guidance to deliver the kind of workplace our employees want
and one that best fosters innovation.
The 224,000 square-foot UTC Center for Intelligent Buildings
meets the highest standards for green design and operation. UTC is
seeking LEED Platinum® certification by the U.S. Green
Building Council® for the facility, which boasts a
number of efficient and environmentally responsible technologies
that reduce energy and the consumption of water and carbon dioxide
on an annual basis.
Featuring innovative products, integrated systems and
interactive displays from UTC brands such as Carrier, Otis,
Automated Logic, Chubb, Edwards, Kidde and Lenel, the building
offers a top-of-the-line briefing center and conference facility to
ensure all customer visits are productive and collaborative from
start to finish.
