IEE: Maintaining a Leading Edge on Industry Trends

Technology, sustainability, and trends drive the construction industry's growth.

Pioneering technologies and automation systems have revolutionized how buildings are planned, designed, and constructed. As the demand for more intelligent, more energy-efficient structures rises, so does the need for providers that can supply them.

The construction industry is in constant flux – from intelligent buildings and interconnected systems to adaptive spaces. As one of the top building solutions providers in the country, Mitsubishi Electric through International Elevator and Equipment, Inc. (IEE), is gearing up to implement and provide these as we position ourselves at the forefront of this evolution.


Innovations Driving the Change

Mitsubishi Electric makes these modern building solutions available to potential and current clients through IEE.

Adopting modern building solutions is a strategic move for any establishment to stay competitive and relevant in a rapidly evolving world. As environmental concerns escalate and regulations become more stringent, businesses must embrace sustainable practices to reduce their carbon footprint and promote eco-consciousness. By partnering with us, clients can access solutions that cater to their specific needs that are aligned with their commitment to environmental stewardship.

Staying at the forefront of the industry, we continuously monitor emerging building solution trends to remain at the cutting edge of technology and innovation. By providing these modern solutions, establishments gain more value, reduce resource consumption, and enable easier building management and navigation.


Here are some building solutions trends that we are staying on top of.


Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Solutions

The global shift towards natural resource management and sustainable designs has paved the way for building solutions that positively impact the environment.

IEE recognizes this trend and is providing clients with energy-efficient Mitsubishi Electric building technologies. Some energy-saving features that are present in our building solutions are as follows:

  • Modernized elevator and escalator technologies with crowd control and power-saving features. More strategic movement, less energy consumed. Crowd control features, for instance, can manage passenger load per elevator so that the ride remains comfortable while also reducing energy consumption caused by overloading the elevator car. In addition, it can also assign specific levels that the lifts can travel to, which also contributes to lessening energy consumption. Another way that vertical lifts, particularly escalators, save on energy is when their operations slow down until a person boards them.
  • Using the R32 refrigerant to reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning systems. Mitsubishi Electric's latest products use a refrigerant that efficiently lowers the room temperature with lesser environmental impact. These units are what we provide to clients interested in modern air conditioning systems.
  • Power-generating systems for energy storage and usage in critical times. These inside one’s establishment store energy for emergencies and allow consistent operation with minimal downtimes.

By focusing on reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact, we are preparing corporations for a greener future.

Building Automation Solutions

Automation solutions are transforming buildings into intelligent and interconnected ecosystems. Smart buildings use data from sensors and devices to optimize energy consumption, improve user comfort, and enhance security. IEE provides this technology for easier management of the establishment using one system.


What’s Next for IEE?

As a company with expertise in vertical transportation, air conditioning, building automation, and power-generating systems, we at IEE are preparing to work on projects that align with our products, services, and expertise.

The company is ready to take on projects with our high-skilled employees backed with 100% technical support from Mitsubishi Information Center (MIC) through the combination of Filipino and Japanese mindsets on infrastructure design.

Ethical Sustainability and Growth

IEE believes that innovation occurs when the work environment promotes a holistic approach to problem-solving and idea generation. The company augments Mitsubishi Electric’s innovations by preparing our workforce to provide excellent client management and support.

We believe in the capabilities of our employees. The company provides them with the right tools, avenues, and programs to excel in their craft and learn new skills. We also implement strategies that allow us to do our work better.
