Advertiser Staff
Honeywell said it will help nine U.S. Coast Guard locations in Hawai'i, California, Oregon and Washington upgrade building systems and cut energy costs as part of an 11-year, $15.1 million conservation project.The company said the work will be funded by the savings the improvements generate and that it should lower greenhouse gases emitted by the facilities. The project also aims to cut utility bills at the Coast Guard buildings.
The current work builds on projects completed under the initial contract awarded in 1999, which focused on the Coast Guard's Alameda, Calif., facility, Honeywell said in a news release. That $1.5-million program exceeded the savings guaranteed in the contract by 12 percent. It also helped capture more than $170,000 in utility incentives and rebates to further lower costs.
