Humidity Control and Evaporative Cooling
Honeywell, SAP join forces target real estate
HONEYWELL AND SAP have teamed up to create a joint cloud-based solution based on Honeywell Forge, the company’s enterprise per- formance management offering.
It has joined the SAP Cloud Platform which will streamline and combine operational and business data to support better decision-making and drive greater efficiencies.
The companies’ first area of focus will be the real estate industry, where building owners of- ten need to pull data from disparate sources that are not normalised.
This makes it extremely difficult to deter- mine the true efficiency and utilization of their portfolios.
Drawing on the power of the Honeywell Forge autonomous buildings solution and the SAP Cloud for Real Estate solution, the new offering will enable facility managers and building own- ers to reposition their portfolios through cost savings and newly identified efficiencies, while also helping to improve tenant experience.
Honeywell Forge powers a new AI-driven au- tonomous control capability that makes auto- matic adjustments to maintenance, comfort and sustainability.
By providing real-time access to these KPIs, the joint offering will help building owners opti- mise their operations to meet aggressive energy savings targets and substantially reduce mainte- nance hours.
For example, in the HVAC operation alone, which is known to account for 35 per cent of total energy consumption in commercial buildings, an AI-automated system such as Honeywell Forge can save up to 23 per cent in energy costs.
Honeywell CEO and chair, Darius Adamczyk, said building owners today often struggle to get the real-time data they need to determine the true efficiency and utilization of their portfolios.
“Honeywell and SAP together will provide in- sights from the boiler room to the boardroom that make it easier for our customers to get a true picture of how to optimize building perfor- mance, lower carbon emissions to meet sustain- ability goals, reduce energy costs and help en- hance occupant experience.,” he said.
“Having this information readily accessible will allow our customers to generate tremen- dous business value while becoming more sus- tainable, and it will greatly enhance the appeal of their buildings to renters and tenants.”
SAP CEO Christian Klein, said the partnership will significantly change the game in digital and intelligent real estate management.
“IT WILL PROVIDE INSIGHTS FROM THE BOILER ROOM TO THE BOARDROOM.”
He said customers will greatly benefit from the single holistic view provided by the dash- board.
“With the addition of Qualtrics, companies can also collect employee sentiment data to pro- vide a complete 360-degree experience measure- ment while optimising occupant productivity, building performance and their entire real estate portfolio,” Klein said.
“With embedded artificial intelligence and data analysis, our solution will enable managers to determine their optimal office use and adjust their portfolios to reflect varying economic, en- vironmental and regulatory conditions.”
