ATLANTA — According to a report released by Honeywell, 75% of surveyed U.S. facility managers say COVID-19 has caused them to permanently rethink how their facility operates. Nearly six in 10 respondents are more likely to invest in indoor air quality optimization and other healthy building solutions, while seven in 10 are now more willing to invest in smart building solutions that help drive efficiency and support sustainability efforts.
This report, "Rethinking Buildings Post-COVID-19," the first in Honeywell's 2021 Building Trends series, introduces the challenges, priorities, and assessments of surveyed facility managers in the United States, Germany, China, and Saudi Arabia across the education, healthcare, data center, and commercial real estate industries.
