ATLANTA, May 24, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON)
recently announced the launch of Honeywell Forge for
Buildings, a comprehensive approach to building systems operations
and management that can be used at a single site or with an entire
portfolio. Unveiled at Honeywell Connect 2023, Honeywell Forge for
Buildings features software, hardware and services that deliver on
key outcomes to help building owners and operators achieve
sustainability, operational efficiency, occupant experience,
compliance, safety and security, and resilience goals.

"Building operations is evolving at a rapid pace as many
customers work to digitalize their facilities. This means they need
better integration and enablement capabilities of their smart
building applications and solutions," said Kevin Dehoff, president and chief executive
officer, Honeywell Connected Enterprise. "We are integrating our
purpose-built products that support multiple assets in a building
with the SaaS capabilities of Honeywell Forge to create a singular
approach to building operations. The goal is to make it simpler for
our customers to address business-critical outcomes."
One key outcome building owners and operators are looking to
address is sustainability. Featured in the launch are expanded
capabilities of the Honeywell Forge Sustainability+ for Buildings |
Carbon and Energy Management application.
Building Health or Energy Efficiency? Choose Both
Building owners and managers face increasing pressure to
accelerate their digital sustainability transformation plans as
well as improve indoor air quality (IAQ). 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 only
increase.
Carbon and Energy Management is a ready-now, cloud-based
application. It helps assist building owners and operators optimize
IAQ, help reduce energy use and support their carbon reduction
goals. The Carbon and Energy Management Optimize package enables
zone-specific optimization of energy consumption and IAQ parameters
based on real-time occupancy levels and space use. It uses sensor
data and ML algorithms to continuously monitor and automatically
adjust building controls at the zone level.
The vendor-agnostic solution connects to a building management
system (BMS) and can work across many types of assets, such as HVAC
and lighting operations, to help building owners to continuously
optimize operations and reduce energy consumption. It adjusts the
setpoints in near real-time based on actual demand, occupancy, time
and weather to determine the most optimal energy savings strategy
without impacting the comfort of the building occupants.
"Carbon and Energy Management effectively disproves the
misconception that improved indoor air quality has to come at the
expense of energy efficiency," said Billal
Hammoud, president and chief executive officer of Honeywell
Building Technologies. "Our solution will enable building owners
and facility managers to support their occupants' well-being while
also managing energy costs and carbon impact. They no longer need
to operate on the assumption that these two imperatives are
mutually exclusive."
