112011 ANNUAL REPORT
GREEN NOTES
3 WORLD TRADE CENTER —
A LANDMARK PROJECT
Equipped with building controls by Automated
Logic, 3 World Trade Center will be one of
New York City’s greenest skyscrapers.
Employees at our Kidde plant in North
Yorkshire, United Kingdom, have found
a way to recycle filter cake, a byproduct
in the manufacture of fire-fighting foams.
Filter cake contains organic nitrogen and
calcium compounds and is now being
used in compost, an essential material
for gardeners and growers.
Demand continues to grow for Carrier’s
sustainable and energy-ecient CO2OLtec
refrigeration systems. The company has an
agreement with major German food retailer
“tegut...” gute Lebensmittel to install 50 sys-
tems in its stores through 2012. CO2OLtec uses
carbon dioxide, a natural and environmentally
neutral refrigerant that is especially suited for
cool climates such as in northern Europe.
Automated Logic has been chosen to
provide the building automation system for
the landmark 3 World Trade Center, now
under construction in New York City. At
80 stories, it will be the third tallest build-
ing in the World Trade Center master plan
and has been designed to meet LEED
Gold criteria. Automated Logic is part
of UTC Climate, Controls & Security.
The building automation system will
control and monitor heating, cooling
and fire protection equipment as well
as provide a direct interface with an
innovative fuel cell system designed by
UTC Power. The system is designed to
provide a comfortable environment for
the building’s occupants and to help
tenants save energy and promote more
sustainable operations.
Automated Logic also is providing
building systems to 2 World Trade Center
and 4 World Trade Center.
In 2011, Sikorsky commissioned a combined heat
and power cogeneration facility that produces
enough energy to power 84 percent of its
2-million-square-foot Stratford, Conn., site. The
new system also provides 85 percent of the site’s
heating needs, while reducing greenhouse gas
emissions by more than 8,900 metric tons annu-
ally. Carrier and its NORESCO business served
as strategic partners on the project, providing
design and construction consultation.
