Honeywell to Cut Costs, Improve Facilities for South Dakota County
MINNEAPOLIS - Honeywell has announced a 10-year, $3.6 million energy-savings and modernization project with Pennington County in western South Dakota. The project includes infrastructure upgrades, energy-conservation measures, and maintenance services. It is designed to help the county offset rising energy costs and reduced budgets, while improving comfort, security, and productivity at its facilities.
Pennington County will fund the project out of energy and operational savings that will result from Honeywell-led modernization efforts in all 14 of the county's primary buildings. These savings - expected to total more than $700,000 annually - are guaranteed by Honeywell under a performance contract with the county, ensuring the work will not impact capital budgets or require additional taxpayer dollars. The project, the latest in Honeywell's 20-year relationship with the county, which includes other retrofits, building controls work, and services, is currently underway and is expected to be completed by early 2007.
