Project expected to reduce energy use in by nearly 10 percent
MINNEAPOLIS — Honeywell announced a facility infrastructure modernization project at 21 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-operated facilities across the U.S. The project will create 95 related jobs over the course of the program and is expected to help the FAA reduce the energy use in those facilities by nearly 10 percent.
The project will be funded through a combination of an Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and a 23-year, $10.8 million energy savings performance contract (ESPC). The ESPC will enable the FAA to fund the upgrades using annual energy and operational savings guaranteed by Honeywell, eliminating the need for upfront capital investment.
