Honeywell Technologies has introduced new building automation, fire and life safety, and security products at its Accelerate 2026 event, as part of a broader push to add artificial intelligence to building operations.
The new line-up includes EBI One, a command-and-control platform for building operators, alongside additions to its fire detection and incident response portfolio. Honeywell also outlined further security and building management software developments tied to its LenelS2 and Niagara product lines.
EBI One combines Honeywell's Enterprise Buildings Integrator platform with its Forge Cognition software. The system is designed to give operators conversational AI tools, alarm assistance and broader connections across building systems.
The platform draws on deployment experience across more than 30,000 buildings and is aimed at sites where teams manage multiple systems spanning fire, access, video, building management and energy.
Juan Picon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Honeywell Technologies Building Automation, said the changes reflect growing pressure on facilities teams.
“Buildings are at an inflection point, with owners and operators being asked to manage increasingly complex environments, often with fewer skilled resources,” said Juan Picon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Honeywell Technologies Building Automation.
He added: “Customers today need more than connected systems and volumes of data. They need technologies that turn information into actionable intelligence, simplify operations and enable better decisions.”
Safety systems
Alongside the building operations launch, Honeywell expanded its fire and life safety range with low-level carbon monoxide monitoring, a new detector system and incident management software.
The carbon monoxide monitoring tools are intended to give users visibility into concentration levels and trend data, supporting earlier awareness of developing risks in buildings.
Its System Sensor Distinguish detector technology is designed to separate fire signatures from environmental conditions such as steam, dust and mist. This approach is intended to cut nuisance alarms, a long-running issue for building operators and emergency services.
Honeywell also introduced Incident Command, a software application that combines incident information, unit accountability, operational procedures and live data from connected buildings in a single view. The software is intended to help emergency responders and operators assess changing conditions during an incident.
Security tools
In security, Honeywell described an expanded set of AI-based functions through the LenelS2 Adaptive Intelligence Suite. The suite will add alarm management tools, contextual information around alerts, natural-language reporting, anomaly detection, dashboards and guided workflows.
The software is intended to sit on top of existing platforms, beginning with LenelS2 OnGuard, rather than requiring a full replacement. That approach may appeal to customers looking to extend current security systems while limiting disruption and preserving earlier spending.
Honeywell also detailed work on Niagara 5, the next version of its Niagara framework, which is used to connect systems across heating, ventilation, air conditioning, fire, security, access control, lighting and energy. The framework is intended to improve how assets from different vendors are connected and managed through a common view.
Picon said the launches are part of a wider shift in how buildings are run.
“At Accelerate 2026, we're demonstrating how Honeywell Technologies is combining decades of building automation expertise with AI and advanced technologies to help customers address these challenges and accelerate the transition to autonomous building operations,” he said.
The announcements build on Honeywell's recent introduction of Forge Cognition, a platform developed with NVIDIA and Dell Technologies. Honeywell said a co-creation deployment at NVIDIA's headquarters in Santa Clara showed an average reduction of up to 90% in unnecessary alerts and identified up to 10% potential reduction in energy and utility consumption.
Those figures indicate the operational case Honeywell is making to customers as competition grows around AI software for buildings. Vendors across the sector are seeking to show that AI can reduce manual monitoring, improve responses to alarms and help operators manage older building estates with smaller teams.
Honeywell's latest product roll-out suggests the company is trying to make that case across several layers of the building stack, from day-to-day operations software to fire systems, security management and the underlying framework that links equipment.
