UTC is conducting original research to identify ways to reduce energy consumption in new and existing build- ings by 25 percent, a goal that is achievable with existing technology. We use the most recent academic, market and government data, and employ a suite of energy-system models. To date, we have issued three research papers in an ongoing series on energy efficiency. 

“Achieving maximum energy efficiency requires a holistic approach that goes beyond the building itself to include city layout, building design standards and equipment selection procedures. And UTC adds value in all aspects of this equation.”

The first paper, The Business Case for Building Efficiency , identifies how strategic energy-efficiency investments can increase profits, foster job creation and help insulate a company from fluctuating energy prices. The second paper, Enhancing American Productivity , outlines how investments in building efficiencies today can help ensure future economic prosperity and global competitiveness. 

The third paper, The Global Market Opportunity , describes the challenges and opportunities presented by the largest migration in human history. Approximately 60 million to 70 million rural residents in developing countries are moving each year to cities or seeing cities built up around them. By improving the energy efficiency of existing and future buildings, countries can help enable the comfort, safety and prosperity of their citizens.

Through its Carrier business, UTC Climate, Controls & Security is the U.S. Green Building Council’s largest partner in LEED education. Its LEED workshops educate employ- ees, customers and suppliers from Brazil, China, France, India, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United States. In 2011, Carrier also launched the Distinguished Sustainability Lecture Series in collaboration with the Higher Colleges of Technology in the UAE. 

In 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy brought its Save Energy Now LEADER showcase to Hamilton Sundstrand in Windsor Locks, Conn. The one-day event brought together approximately 100 representatives from more than 30 manufacturing companies, seeking ways to cut energy consumption by 25 percent in 10 years. UTC provided attendees with an energy-management guidebook that described its successful energy-efficiency best practices.
