The University appreciates Honeywell's Optimum Maintenance Strategy (OMS), which focuses on reducing costs.
Honeywell works proactively to optimise systems and so generate energy savings for the University.
Maintenance is prioritised according to a plant criticality template, related to the significance of the activities within each building.
The University was impressed by Honeywell's strategy because it focuses on need, rather than taking the standard "task-based" approach that is common for this type of contract.
"Honeywell provides valuable advice on energy conservation," revealed Rodney Perry, the University's Chief Engineer.
"We meet regularly with Honeywell and discuss where investment would result in further savings for the university.
"We also benefit from regular servicing by Honeywell technicians who fully understand the systems." In addition to routine preventive maintenance and surveys, Honeywell provides 24-hour, 7-day breakdown coverage.
