As part of the deal, Honeywell and Arcadis will also formulate strategic goals for organizations in case they cannot access asset or device-level energy performance data.

Honeywell Building Technologies president and chief executive officer, Billal Hammoud, said, “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."

Lately, Honeywell has been working toward reducing the carbon impact of buildings through various collaborations.

The agreement is aimed at reducing carbon emissions across several buildings through the rapid deployment of technologies designed to lower energy use and improve asset health.
