Industry News January 15, 2021 TiL Editors
Signify, world leader in lighting, and Honeywell a global leader in connected buildings, announced a strategic alliance to deploy integrated lighting solutions for commercial buildings. Together, the companies aim to improve the occupant experience, focusing on productivity and well-being and to reduce energy consumption.
Additionally, building owners and operators will be able to better manage lighting systems and energy efficiency with smart LED lighting systems. Lighting represents 17% of all electricity used in US commercial buildings according to the Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey, making it the largest end use of electricity in buildings.
Signify’s connected LED lighting system, Interact Office, can save up to 70% of the energy used for lightingiii. Deploying advanced building controls and sensing, like those from Honeywell, can save up to 30% in facility energy costs.iv
“Increasingly, we see lighting systems playing a critical role in buildings to improve occupant comfort, well-being and productivity as well as to help meet energy-savings goals. We anticipate that this trend will continue to grow,” said Vimal Kapur, President and CEO, Honeywell Building Technologies. “Our collaboration with Signify will allow us to enable our customers to help improve the occupant experience with customizable lighting solutions that can be integrated into our Honeywell Forge and Building Management Systems platforms.”
Many of our customers expect our solutions to deliver value beyond illumination. We look forward to collaborating with Honeywell and jointly developing products and systems that not only deliver end-user benefits, such as increased well-being and productivity, but are also easy to commission and maintain.”
