Honeywell International Inc., a U.S. maker of thermostats and electronic controls, cut peak power use in buildings by as much as 36 percent during a U.K. trial of “smart” energy-saving equipment in a network run by SSE Plc.
The kit, installed in three buildings in Bracknell, southern England, helps reduce electricity use by dimming or switching off lights and heating when they’re not in use, Scott Petersen, Honeywell’s business development director for smart grids in Europe, said today in a phone interview.
