Honeywell Survey Reveals Healthier Buildings Top the List of Back-to-Work Priorities
According to a report by Honeywell, 75% of surveyed U.S. facility managers say COVID-19 has caused them to permanently rethink how their facilities operate. Nearly six in 10 respondents are more likely to invest in IAQ 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 U.S., Germany, China, and Saudi Arabia across the education, health care, data center, and commercial real estate industries. It focuses on COVID-19's impact on building trends and facility managers' priorities — now and in the future.
