Honeywell to serve as Official Sustainable
Building Technology Partner
ATLANTA, Feb. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced that
it has become the Official Sustainable Building Technology Partner
for the Atlanta Hawks and the award-winning State Farm Arena. As
part of this multi-year deal, Honeywell will implement a series of
high-tech upgrades to State Farm Arena's building operations
systems to help decrease energy consumption and emissions while
increasing visibility and control of the indoor
environment.
"We are extremely pleased that the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm
Arena chose Honeywell to collaborate on prioritizing efficient,
healthy and sustainable building operations at the State Farm
Arena," said Adam Joiner, Vice
President of Global Sales, for Honeywell's Building Automation
segment. "Our teamwork will help drive powerful change for the
local community."
To help optimize the court's playing conditions while improving
the fan and guest experience, Honeywell will upgrade the arena's
building management system with a new system that includes its
Honeywell Forge software solutions. The software leverages machine
learning to monitor energy use and will autonomously adjust the
arena's HVAC system to operate more efficiently, help advance
sustainability efforts and regulate indoor air quality. This
partnership further supports Honeywell's alignment of its business
with the compelling megatrends of automation and energy
transition.
"Honeywell's technology provides us with the solutions and tools
that we need to make our arena more energy efficient, help meet our
sustainability goals and make the arena healthier for our fans,
players and staff," said Hawks' Executive Vice President and
General Manager of State Farm Arena Brett Stefansson. "With an
approximate two million fans and guests visiting State Farm Arena
each year, our building operations are fundamental to managing
their experiences and improving our collective impact on the
environment."
Additionally, Honeywell will install secondary filtration in
player locker rooms and fan clubs and will deploy specialized
sensors to monitor levels of carbon dioxide, total volatile organic
compounds and particulate matter.
As part of the initiative, Honeywell will also collaborate with
the Atlanta Hawks to develop a community engagement program that
offers STEM and Sustainability Education to metro Atlanta schools.
