Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa is a mega-tall skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the building is best known for being the current world's tallest skyscraper. When you take a look at the building's partnership with Honeywell to implement advanced internet of things technology throughout, it's no surprise that people pay to take a tour. The skyscraper is Dubai's most famous tourist attraction; it includes numerous observation decks at the top where tourists may visit and admire the city from above. The mixed-use tower is utilized for a variety of functions, including office, residential, hotels, restaurants, observation, and communication.

With good reason, the famous structure has been dubbed "the smartest and most sustainable building in the UAE and in the Middle East" by Bashar Mohammad Kassab, Director of Facilities Management. Honeywell's Outcome-Based Services solution, which tracks the mechanical components of the HVAC system, was tested at the Burj Khalifa. OBS analyzes anomalies and runs algorithms for both preventive and predictive maintenance, both of which save money by lowering downtime and repair costs. The Burj Khalifa saw a 40% decrease in maintenance hours while maintaining 99.95% availability using OBS. Kassab's team uses Honeywell's Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI) system to connect smart devices and provide a unified view of building systems.
