-Honeywell's Enacto energy management software and
submetering to help Coop Denmark cut energy consumption by 20% in
next three years
-Software to also help Denmark achieve carbon reduction
goals
ATLANTA, Feb. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) today announced a major energy management
project with Coop Denmark, the country's largest retailer of
consumer goods, to help reduce energy consumption by 20 percent by
2020 and achieve mandated carbon reduction goals.
Coop Denmark is a member-owned
cooperative with more than 1.7 million members and approximately
1,200 stores. Under the project, Honeywell will deploy its
software-based energy management solution, Enacto™, and
up to 20,000 new wireless Enacto submeters throughout the network
of stores to provide the retailer with a unified view of energy use
across all of its locations.
"Around the world, retailers are looking for ways to rein in
costs and meet regulatory targets," said Jeff Tolnar, president of software solutions,
Honeywell Home and Building Technologies. "Geographies may vary,
but the business drivers for today's retailers are universal:
reduce energy use and lower costs. Honeywell's software gives
retailers the technology to better manage their energy use and
reduce energy waste."
Honeywell's connected solutions enable Coop Denmark to identify
opportunities to reduce consumption, lower energy and operational
costs, and track returns on energy-saving measures. It will also
help the retailer contribute to Denmark's goal of having the world's first
carbon-neutral capital by 2025. The project is expected to be
completed by 2020.
"Energy use comprises a significant portion of our total costs,
so we're always looking for ways to ensure we're being smarter and
more strategic with where and how we're consuming it," said Peter
Kjærgaard Svendsen, energy manager of Coop Denmark. "Today, given
the pressures of our industry, coupled with carbon-reduction goals,
we're more mindful than ever of energy consumption. Honeywell's
software and energy-saving expertise will help us keep our energy
costs in check so we can stay focused on providing the best retail
experience for our customers. All of this contributes to a more
sustainable Coop and a cleaner environment."
Honeywell will work on the project with local integrator
Energidata, which will provide energy audit services to help Coop
Denmark identify opportunities to save energy.
