UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION10
SOLUTIONS
By developing integrated
solutions that enable buildings
to use energy more eciently,
lower their greenhouse gas
emissions, and oer safety and
security to their occupants.
For Otis, it is both a homecoming
and the largest modernization project
in the company’s 158-year history:
refurbishing the elevators in the iconic
Empire State Building in New York City.
Otis installed the original elevator
system in the 1930s and now has been
awarded a contract and 10-year mainte-
nance agreement to upgrade the building’s
68 elevators and related equipment.
The modernization is expected to deliver
improved speed, energy eciency and
passenger experience.

Q
TAKING THE LEED
We help customers find energy-ecient
building solutions, and we look for similar
opportunities in our own operations.
During the year, we opened a new manu-
facturing facility in Mirabel, Canada, which
was built to rigorous standards set by
the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leader-
ship in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED)—the benchmark for energy and
environmental performance in buildings.
Another manufacturing facility in Monterrey,
Mexico, was LEED Gold certified in 2011.
It is our policy to incorporate sustainable
practices into all new UTC facilities and
target a rating of LEED Gold. To date, 11 of
our facilities have earned LEED certifica-
tion, with seven of them achieving Gold or
Platinum levels.
