Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) releases its new Carbon & Energy Management, a carbon energy management software that enables building owners to track and optimise energy performance against carbon reduction goals down to a device or asset level.
Developed by Honeywell engineers in India, Carbon & Energy Management is the centrepiece of Honeywell’s new Sustainable Buildings solutions portfolio, which is ready now to help building owners and operators meet two pressing, yet often conflicting, objectives: reducing the environmental impact of buildings while optimising indoor air quality to support occupant well-being, to help them to meet carbon-neutral goals.
Companies face increasing pressure today – from stakeholders as well as regulatory agencies – to curb energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions and create more sustainable, healthier facilities. There’s an urgent reason for this: commercial buildings currently account for almost a third of global energy consumption and 37% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. While 28% of those emissions are related to building operations – or the energy used to heat, cool and power the building – many building owners likely don’t have a device or asset-level insight into energy consumption or carbon impact.
Leveraging the Honeywell Forge enterprise performance management software solution’s artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, Carbon & Energy Management autonomously identifies and implements energy conservation measures to help drive efficiency, resiliency and accountability throughout a real estate portfolio. It continuously investigates, analyses and optimises building performance down to an asset-specific level, measuring critical sustainability KPIs, including carbon emissions.
