Honeywell will establish a Centre of Excellence in Singapore in partnership with the Singapore Economic Development Board to pilot and deploy building technologies leveraging AI and machine learning driven solutions that can deliver a scalable view of a building’s life cycle and total energy use.
The initiative will leverage the Honeywell Forge IoT platform – a predictive maintenance and energy-management software solution – to help customers monitor, manage and optimise their building energy use. The integration of Honeywell Forge will help building decision makers improve their visibility into energy management, energy optimisation and predictive analytics and ultimately gain enhanced insight into their maintenance needs.
The Centre of Excellence in Singapore will leverage building technologies using AI to help operators drive their efficiency and decarbonisation efforts across building sectors in Southeast Asia. The Centre is expected to begin operations in 2025 and will deploy building automation technologies through pilot programs with Singapore-based players across verticals such as healthcare, data centre and education.
Buildings currently account for more than 20% of Singapore’s carbon emissions, according to the Building and Construction Authority. Through the Centre 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.
“Buildings represent a significant opportunity for carbon reduction, particularly when owners can effectively monitor and optimise energy use to manage their environmental impact,” said Honeywell Asia Pacific President Nigel Brockett. “With the integration of new AI-based technologies and access to our Centre 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.”
In 2026, Honeywell expects the Centre of Excellence to begin serving other nations in Southeast Asia based on their specific sustainable building goals.
