- The collaboration will deliver end-to-end solutions that
help building owners cut energy use and carbon emissions as they
optimize building performance
- Initial focus will be on five international projects, with
the first launching in May
- Complementary solutions will help building owners comply
with local regulations and document and report progress to internal
and external stakeholders
ATLANTA, May 17, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) and Arcadis (EURONEXT:
ARCAD) have today announced a collaboration to provide tools and
services that help optimize energy use and carbon emissions in
commercial buildings worldwide. With an initial focus on five
projects in various locations worldwide, the companies will jointly
offer a range of end-to-end solutions to help clients and customers
expedite progress toward their carbon-reduction goals.
For Arcadis and Honeywell, this relationship strengthens the
efforts that both organizations are making to help clients that are
committed to improving outcomes related to ESG. The relationship is
not exclusive, and both companies expect to add additional
collaborations to enhance their offerings in this space.
Data from the World Economic Forum suggests that approximately
80% of today's buildings will still be standing in
2050i – which means the challenge of controlling
escalating energy use, particularly in older buildings, to meet
carbon-reduction targets will increase over the coming decades.
Many building owners and operators lack the expertise and
technology to monitor and optimize energy performance, making it
harder for them to initiate change in their organizations.
Honeywell and Arcadis offer unique but complementary services to
address these shortfalls and will work with clients and customers
to map a path toward lower carbon emissions, while also improving
resilience.
For building owners who have already set goals and made pledges
to reduce carbon footprint across their portfolio, the
collaboration will deploy a software suite that applies milestones
to document progress with tailored insights and data-led reports
that showcase these efforts to internal and external stakeholders.
Honeywell and Arcadis will also formulate strategic goals for
organizations that do not have access to asset- or device-level
energy performance data.
Arcadis brings a deep background in evaluating business impacts
across programs and portfolios. It assesses ESG risks for companies
by developing current-state assessments that analyze technical and
financial scenarios to measure impacts across energy and climate,
materials and waste, and buildings and infrastructure. Arcadis also
helps building owners include other ESG goals in the design of
their real estate assets, such as climate adaptation, biodiversity,
and inclusivity.
"The strength of Arcadis is our ability to help clients identify
where change can have the most impact in their organization when it
comes to their energy use and carbon footprint," said Alan Brookes, chief executive officer, Arcadis.
"By working with Honeywell, we can take that insight and provide an
end-to-end service from planning to execution and ongoing
maintenance to allow clients to reduce the energy use within their
building portfolios and demonstrate the value of their investment
to key stakeholders."
Honeywell brings decades of experience in developing
smart-building technologies that utilize artificial intelligence
and machine learning (AI/ML)-enabled software to enhance control
systems with sensor-driven analytics, occupancy tracking and
predictive maintenance. The company also offers service solutions
that help building owners fund improvements as operating expenses
instead of capital investments.
"By combining our ready-now advanced building controls software
with Arcadis' expertise in sustainability assessments and
roadmapping, we can develop plans for customers that meet both
their short-term need to manage energy use and their long-term
aspiration to reduce their carbon footprint," said Billal Hammoud, president and chief executive
officer, Honeywell Building Technologies. "By drawing on our
respective strengths, we can deliver more efficient and effective
sustainability solutions for buildings."
Documenting and reporting sustainability efforts will only
increase in importance as more and more regulatory actions are
enacted. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD),
for example, requires all large and listed companies to disclose
information on risks and opportunities related to ESG issues and
their impact on the environment.ii Through
collaborations such as this one, Arcadis and Honeywell are creating
an ecosystem of third-party solutions and complementary services to
help clients and customers worldwide reduce their energy
consumption and carbon emissions.
