A SURVEY BY THE COMPANY INDICATES THAT INDIA NEEDS TO INVEST MORE IN SMART BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES
NEW DELHI:
Buildings in India’s smart city may soon get a ranking that will measure the safety, productivity and environment friendliness that will enable you to be a comfortable inhabitant.
The index or ranking will be based on a Smart Building Score developed by Honeywell, a Fortune 100 company that develops and manufactures technologies in the field of energy efficiency, safety and security.
The company will showcase this methodology, which was l aunched here on Tuesday, in India, US, Middle East and China.
“Implementing smart building solutions can make facilities more connected and adaptive, reduce energy and operating costs, and improve the safety and quality of life for occupants and users,” said Alex Ismail, president and CEO of Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions.
The company, along with research firm IMRB International, has surveyed 2,000 buildings across India. The findings indicate that the government, building owners and service providers need to invest more in smart building technologies to better serve India’s rapidly urbanising population and help create sustainable infrastructure.
The survey found that airports and hotels are leading the way with smart building technologies in India.
The survey findings were accompanied by a white paper from Honeywell and Ernst and Young, “Smart Buildings Make Smart Cities,” which details how targeted investment in smart buildings can be used to drive economic and environmental benefits, protect human life and assets, and support India’s goal to develop 100 smart cities.
