Honeywell will also install its Enterprise Building Integrator (EBI), a management platform that integrates core building functions. EBI will enable the school to control the environment of each classroom from a single workstation. In addition, Honeywell will replace all windows at the high school, which comprise almost one-half of the building's exterior surface, with double-pane, energy-efficient windows.

For the Paw Paw School District, Honeywell will provide $1.98 million in capital upgrades for three schools through a 20-year performance contract.

At Ridgeview, Honeywell is providing capital upgrades as part of a 20-year, $3.66 million performance contract to three schools. Honeywell's 10-year, $874,000 performance contract with the Butler School District will provide capital upgrades to two elementary schools.

"Despite the reality of tight budgets, aging infrastructure and rising energy costs, school districts have options when it comes to improving their facilities and operations," said Joe Puishys, president of Honeywell Building Solutions. "Through performance contracts, Honeywell is helping districts create more comfortable and effective learning environments without impacting budgets."

The company will complete work in the main academic areas of all affected buildings before school begins in late August 2006.
