European real estate investor to deploy Honeywell solutions
across its commercial building portfolio in Romania and Poland to improve operational efficiency and
support sustainability efforts
WARSAW,
Poland, April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) announced today that
Globalworth, a leading real estate investor in Central and
Eastern Europe, has selected its
connected technology to help increase operational efficiency,
support sustainability efforts, and improve the occupant experience
across the Globalworth portfolio of commercial office buildings in
Romania and Poland. Globalworth will use solutions from
Honeywell Forge for Buildings, a comprehensive approach to building
system operations and management, to help improve performance and
reduce energy consumption throughout its facilities from a single
point of control.
Buildings are a primary consumer of energy – the UN Environment
Programme 2022 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction
found the building and construction sector accounted for 34% of
energy demand and 37% of energy and process-related CO2 emissions
in 2021. In Europe, the numbers
are even more concerning with the buildings sector accounting for
40% of the continent's total energy needs, 80% coming from the use
of fossil fuels.1
To help reduce this energy demand, Globalworth will use the
machine learning models within Honeywell Forge for Buildings to
monitor energy consumption across its buildings, down to a device
or asset level, and make automatic adjustments to minimize energy
consumption while maintaining occupant comfort and
productivity.
"We believe that building technologies can provide not only
better experiences for our tenants but can also add value in
helping to achieve operational and sustainability goals – all
without sacrificing occupant comfort. We are investing in Honeywell
Forge for Buildings for its ability to integrate systems, improve
maintenance, and save energy, with the aim of helping us to
optimize our selected building operations," said Dennis Selinas, CEO of Globalworth Group.
Honeywell solutions, including Honeywell Forge Site Performance,
Carbon and Energy Management, an application of Honeywell Buildings
Sustainability Manager, and Honeywell Sine visitor management
solutions, will help Globalworth digitalize real estate operations
across its facilities in Romania
and Poland.
- Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Buildings | Site
Performance: Provides asset insights for building operations to
help reduce operational and maintenance costs and to improve
occupant comfort and asset availability. Offerings include
Predictive Maintenance, Centralized Control, and the iOS Mobile
App.
- Honeywell Buildings Sustainability Manager: Provides
building owners and operators with a ready now suite of solutions
to meet two pressing, yet often conflicting, objectives: reducing
their buildings' environmental impact while optimizing indoor air
quality to support occupant well-being, with the aim of advancing
carbon reduction goals.
- Honeywell Sine Visitor Management: Enables visitors to
check in and out of a building in a quick and seamless manner,
allowing building managers to see who is on a given site, account
for occupant capacity, vet visitors before arrival, audit
contractor permits, and send out notifications. When integrated
with access control solutions, Sine can provide a single integrated
and cloud-based means to enhance tenant experiences and reduce
manual interventions.
"Implementing Honeywell Forge for Buildings solutions will help
Globalworth achieve key building outcomes, including helping to
reducing operating costs and lowering energy consumption," said
Kevin Dehoff, president and CEO of
Honeywell Connected Enterprise. "Globalworth is an innovator not
just in its region but across the commercial real estate industry,
and its continued investment in ready now digital solutions for
buildings will further enable it to meet its important
sustainability and operational objectives and support great tenant
experiences."

help enable world-class experiences for its blue-chip roster of
tenants. The company invests in technologies to continue to help
improve the operational efficiency, safety and security, and
resilience of its buildings while supporting its sustainability
goals.
