Honeywell Helps Modernize Air Force Base and Save $3.5 Million a Year
Upgrades made to assembly plant’s HVAC, lighting, hot water, thermal energy systems
OKLAHOMA CITY — Honeywell and Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OG&E) announced a $19.1 million facility modernization project that is expected to reduce energy consumption by 44 percent and lower energy expenses at Tinker Air Force Base’s assembly plant. Combined with previous energy retrofit projects and sustainability initiatives at the base, the project helps the Air Force’s efforts to achieve the federally-mandated goal to reduce energy consumption by 25 percent by 2025.
The project is being led by OG&E and funded through a utility energy service contract. The contract enables the base to pay for the project using future energy savings generated by the more efficient energy, water, and renewable systems to be installed. Honeywell is providing the upgrades and guaranteeing the savings.
