With buildings currently accounting for more than 20 percent of Singapore’s carbon emissions, Honeywell, in partnership with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), has announced the establishment of a Center of Excellence to pilot and deploy building technologies leveraging AI solutions that can deliver a scalable view of a building’s lifecycle and total energy use.

The Center is set to commence operations later this year, introducing building automation technologies through pilot programs with Singapore-based stakeholders in sectors such as healthcare, data centers, and education. By 2026, Honeywell anticipates expanding the Center of Excellence’s reach to other Southeast Asian nations, aligning with their sustainable building objectives.

The initiative will leverage the Honeywell Forge IoT platform, a predictive maintenance and energy-management software solution, to help customers monitor, manage and optimize their building energy use. The integration of Honeywell Forge will help building decision makers improve their visibility into energy management, energy optimization, and predictive analytics and ultimately gain enhanced insight into their maintenance needs. 

Reducing Commercial Building Carbon Emissions

Through the Center of Excellence, Honeywell aims to work with building owners and operators in Singapore to deploy its solutions to aid in their efforts to reduce commercial building carbon emissions. This is in support of the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and the country’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.  

 

Shaking hands for sustainability: Honeywell’s Nigel Brockett and Lim Tse Yong from the Singapore EDB. 

“Buildings represent a significant opportunity for carbon reduction, particularly when owners can effectively monitor and optimize energy use to manage their environmental impact,” said Nigel Brockett, President of Asia Pacific, Honeywell. 

“With the integration of new AI-based technologies and access to our Center of Excellence, building managers across Singapore can now be equipped with real-time data and automation capabilities to help them curb emissions in alignment with the carbon-reduction goals set out in the Singapore Green Plan.”
