by Rebecca Walker — July 26, 2010—Honeywell announced it has acquired E-Mon, LLC, a leading manufacturer of electric submetering products and systems. The acquisition will enable Honeywell to offer a more complete energy efficiency portfolio to a broader customer base and strengthens its offerings in support of the smart grid.
Submeters enable facility owners, such as property managers, schools and universities, government facilities, manufacturers or shopping centers, to better control and manage energy costs. A submeter measures energy consumption by tenant or department, and enables property owners to analyze consumption and usage patterns, helps identify failing equipment and system inefficiencies and can verify facility energy conservation programs — all of which are critical capabilities in a smart grid environment.
E-Mon, based in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, will be integrated into Honeywell Environmental and Combustion Controls (ECC), which is part of Honeywells Automation and Control Solutions business group. ECC’s products, components and systems deliver temperature control, comfort, energy conservation and safety to more than 150 million homes and 10 million buildings worldwide.
Founded in 1981, E-Mon is an industry leader in the manufacture of solid-state electronic kilowatt-hour submeters, automatic meter reading & billing software and other energy management products and services.
Honeywell Environmental & Combustion Control is part of the Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions business group, providing integrated product solutions in heating and heating processes, ventilation, cooling and refrigeration, air filtration, zoning, humidification, air conditioning, water controls and processes, electrical devices and systems, lighting control, buildings controls, switches, sensors and controllers. ECC’s technologies are found in more than 150 million homes, 10 million buildings, and a multitude of manufacturing plants around the world. For more information, see the Web site.
