Honeywell applauds Obama’s commitment to energy efficient federal buildings
Honeywell says it supports President Obama’s plans to make $2 billion in efficiency-focused upgrades to federal facilities by 2016. The commitment, which the president unveiled May 9, extends a similar goal set over two years ago, which led to more than a billion in improvements at government buildings and military bases — work financed and implemented with private-sector support.
"America’s business leaders welcome the president’s increased commitment to improving energy efficiency in federal buildings,” said Dave Cote, Honeywell chairman and CEO. “Leveraging private-sector expertise and dollars to improve energy use in federal buildings is smart policy. We stand ready to work with the Administration and Congress to implement a national strategy that ensures abundant supplies of reliable, affordable energy for America’s homes and factories.”
