Building solutions are integral to construction planning and development. These technologies cater to the diverse requirements of an establishment’s architectural design and building structure, which significantly impacts the overall experience. This is where International Elevator & Equipment, Inc. (IEE) excels. We offer world-class Mitsubishi Electric technologies capable of transforming establishments by helping facilitate energy-efficient designs.

But first, we will differentiate architectural design from building structure.

On the one hand, architectural design encompasses the artistic and functional elements of a building's design by focusing on its aesthetic appeal and interaction with its surroundings. This is what tenants and daily patrons see each time they clock into work, stroll into a commercial establishment, stay at a hotel, and more.

Building structure refers to the physical support system and engineering and construction aspects of the establishment.

Throughout the construction process, integrating building solutions involves a holistic approach, considering both architectural vision and foundational elements. These solutions, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, building automation, and elevator and escalator systems, are crucial for functionality and safety. They directly impact its physical support system while ensuring occupants’ safety, convenience, and comfort.

As a building solutions concierge, IEE provides one-stop solutions where you can integrate these systems to create intelligent façades with sustainable designs for Philippine establishments. We ensure that local corporations have access to these technologies so that they can keep up with global standards in sustainable architectural plans and building structures.

Adapting to the establishment’s design

Mitsubishi Electric's comprehensive line-up of building technologies is meticulously tailored to suit the unique requirements of each establishment, encompassing architectural design, building structure, and industry type.

Elevator solutions

Our range of elevator solutions is designed to cater to diverse needs by ensuring seamless vertical transportation in any setting.

Machine room-less elevators: Perfect for medium-sized establishments or those clients seeking space-saving solutions, our machine room-less elevators combine compact design with reliable performance. It also promises the optimization of space utilization without compromising crucial functionality.

Freight elevators: Tailored for specific industries such as warehouses and factories, our freight elevators ensure smooth and secure transportation of goods and equipment, enhancing operational efficiency.

Escalator solutions

Similarly, our escalators are engineered to meet diverse requirements and come with innovative features in a bid for modernization:

Smart escalators: Equipped with intelligent sensors and Mitsubishi Electric’s innovative Time Light technology, our smart escalators efficiently identify those who will or will not use the escalator, thereby allowing the system to start and stop throughout its use lifespan which aids in energy savings.

Series U escalator: Designed with user safety and security in mind, our Series U escalator incorporates advanced safety functions and preventive maintenance technology to ensure reliability and availability while offering architectural flexibility.

Spiral escalator: Redefining aesthetics, our spiral escalator installation is not only a functional vertical solution. It also creates breathtaking panoramic views for passengers, while also transforming any space into an architectural marvel.

Air conditioning systems

Our air conditioning systems are tailored to meet the specific demands of various industries:

City Multi Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems: Renowned for their precision in temperature and airflow control, our VRF systems excel in multi-zone applications.

Lossnay Energy Recovery Ventilation Systems: Our Lossnay systems elevate indoor air quality management, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for any establishment’s visitors.

Split-Type and Ducted Air Conditioning Systems: Our Mr. Slim and P-Series models are our versatile air conditioning solutions for commercial and residential buildings.

Hybrid VRF Systems: Combining VRF technology with water-based heating and cooling, our hybrid systems are ideal for environments requiring simultaneous heating and cooling.

Building Management Systems

Our additional building technologies are finely tuned to enhance building efficiency and comfort when integrated into our Building Management Systems (BMS). As a result, it positively impacts the establishment’s architectural and building structure. Whether it is optimizing HVAC systems to regulate temperature and airflow or facilitating smoother movement of people and goods through streamlined elevator operations, our BMS is a smart technology that enables overall operations efficiency.

Improving building efficiency and energy usage

While each of Mitsubishi Electric’s building solutions has its energy-saving features, as mentioned, our BMS further optimizes their efficiency as building energy conservation technologies.

Mitsubishi Electric’s BMS stands out from competitors due to its advanced features, updated engineering proficiency, and dedicated focus on sustainability. Integrating our additional building technologies into the BMS further optimizes their performance, leading to energy savings, and improved efficiency and comfort for building occupants across a range of solutions.

The configuration of building equipment, sensors, and operational capabilities varies depending on the building's use and requirements. For instance, close monitoring of air quality and HVAC systems in high-occupancy offices ensures a comfortable working environment. Industrial warehouses and factories may have strict temperature and humidity requirements for product storage that need equipment efficiency and fail-safe operations. In residential settings, monitoring electricity and water usage and ensuring comfort in common areas take precedence.

Most building equipment can communicate with the BMS through various protocols like BACNet, Modbus, and Lonworks. This serves as a centralized system to facilitate smooth integration and operation.

Additionally, the BMS is designed for multi-user operations with different levels of authority for controlled data access and control functionalities. This integration and management of control functionalities reduces energy usage and minimizes errors that could lead to downtime. Our system closely monitors building energy usage and demand, thus reducing the need for human intervention while minimizing the risk of improper equipment operation.
