Technology company Honeywell has announced an integrated solutions portfolio to help building owners in the Middle East comply with new hygiene and social distancing policies and enable business continuity

By integrating air quality, safety and security technologies along with advanced analytics, Honeywell’s Healthy Buildings solutions are designed to help building owners minimise potential contamination risks and create business continuity by monitoring both the building environment and building occupants’ behaviours.

Honeywell's new solutions provide more control over critical health, safety and security factors for building owners to encourage continued compliance with changing building standards, safety guidelines, government-issued regulations and risk management policies for a company. These innovative solutions also give its occupants transparency in the state of health of a building.

George Bou Mitri, vice-president and general manager, Honeywell Building Technologies, Middle East, Turkey and Africa, said, “We’re all facing a new normal – including how buildings are managed. We’re working with entities in the region to support well-being as building owners, operators and occupiers return to work, consider travel, visit shopping malls or healthcare facilities.

“Honeywell has developed outcome-based solutions that allow building owners in the region to transparently address how they limit exposure to and the spread of viruses while supporting their business continuity needs. We are giving them the data they need to confidently reassure their employees to accelerate their business operations.”

The solutions are part of a comprehensive effort among Honeywell’s businesses to come together to quickly develop solutions that help major global economy sectors recover.

Honeywell's Healthy Buildings solutions provide a holistic view of the health of a building based on major factors such as indoor air quality, occupant flow, personal protective equipment (PPE) analytics, thermal screening, social distancing, anti-bacterial wiring devices and sanitation effectiveness.

There are two packages in Honeywell’s Healthy Buildings solutions – one focused on indoor air quality and the other on safety and security.
