The City of Dayton, Ohio, awarded Honeywell a $3.2-million energy conservation and building modernization program that will decrease utility expenses and greenhouse gas emissions at the targeted facilities by more than 30 percent.
Funded through a 10-year performance contract, the program includes a variety of infrastructure upgrades that are expected to cut $420,000 in annual energy and operating costs. The city will use the energy savings, which are guaranteed by Honeywell, to pay for the improvements. So the work will not increase city operating budgets or require additional taxpayer dollars.
The upgrades will reduce electricity consumption by an estimated 3.7 million kilowatt-hours per year – enough energy to power more than 350 homes annually. They will also decrease carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 4,000 tons each year. According to figures from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this is equivalent to removing more than 650 cars from the road or planting 825 acres of trees.
