Honeywell Technologies and Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) have announced a strategic co-innovation initiative. The move will make RWS the first tourism destination in Singapore to implement predictive optimisation technologies for district cooling.
Kess Chiang, senior vice president, Resort Services, Resorts World Sentosa, said, “Facilities management goes beyond fixing things when they break. It means staying ahead, using technology to make the resort more comfortable, reliable and efficient for every guest.”
AI-powered sustainability initiatives
The initiative includes three practical programmes:
• Smarter air-conditioning: AI will continuously adjust heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems to reduce energy consumption while maintaining comfort. This solution is already in use at Resorts World Convention Centre and Illumination’s Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore.
• Cooling that anticipates demand: The district cooling plant will forecast the resort’s cooling needs and determine optimal equipment operation schedules. This approach helps RWS avoid excess chilled water production and improves overall plant efficiency.
• A clearer view of energy use: Honeywell Technologies’ Forge platform will consolidate energy data and generate insights to identify potential energy waste, providing facilities teams with actionable recommendations across the resort.
Munish Suri, president, Building Automation, India and APAC, Honeywell Technologies, said: “Resorts World Sentosa is demonstrating how sustainability and operational excellence can reinforce, rather than compete with, the guest experience. By combining RWS’ deep operational expertise with Honeywell Technologies’ capabilities in AI, energy optimisation and intelligent buildings, our three co-innovation concepts are putting this vision into practice.”
