Towards a safer future: Honeywell wants to offer solutions for the modern world’s challenges

Smart buildings lay the foundation of a smart city. With the advent of new technologies, buildings are gradually transforming from static environments to more dynamic and interactive spaces that impact the lifestyles, wellbeing, and productivity of the occupants. People spend 80 to 90 per cent of their lives inside buildings— be it in homes, offices, entertainment, retail, transport, or public service facilities — making them an integral part of a city’s ecosystem.

Buildings are becoming complex entities with multiple interconnected systems such as lighting, ventilation and cooling, utilities, and security. The complexities increase with the size of buildings and the nature of their use. In most traditional constructions, these complex systems exist in isolation, leading to inefficiencies in energy consumption, building usage, and lower quality of services.

According to a Pricewaterhouse-Coopers report, India will be the third largest construction market in the world by 2020. Honeywell is uniquely positioned with the broadest building solutions portfolio to support India’s 100 Smart Cities vision, and is already working on several significant projects. It has reached out to the farthest corners of the country with its latest surveillance solutions technology.

Honeywell invents and manufactures technologies that address some of the world’s most critical challenges around energy, safety, security, productivity, and global urbanisation. Honeywell solutions support connected systems that improve homes, buildings, and facilities worldwide to enable a safer, more comfortable and more productive world.
