Honeywell has announced a facility infrastructure modernization project at 21 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-operated facilities across the United States. Officials said the project will create 95 related jobs over the course of the program and is expected to help the FAA reduce the energy use in those facilities by nearly 10%.
The project will be funded through a combination of an Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) Grant from the Department of Energy and a 23-year, $10.8 million energy savings performance contract (ESPC). The ESPC will enable the FAA to fund the upgrades using annual energy and operational savings guaranteed by Honeywell, eliminating the need for upfront capital investment.
