Centraline by Honeywell boosts training support for partners

Centraline by Honeywell has set up a training centre to support its partner network of independent automation and control integrators. The facility is in Bracknell and helps partners maximise the energy efficiency of HVAC installations using the Centraline range of automation and controls. Initial courses have instructed control engineers in web-enabled building controls and configuring controllers for maximum energy efficiency. Future courses for building-system designers, installers and users will include focuses on inverters for controlling fans and pumps and on the Honeywell SymmetrE building-management system. Harry Swinbourne, Honeywell buildings business manager says, ‘Special training courses in the new centre are giving partners the tools and abilities needed to provide the best possible building solution in every case. This will directly benefit building managers and users by reducing installation and running costs, including fuel consumption, and enhancing convenience and comfort.’
