IEE: Revolutionizing Industry Standards through Innovation

International Elevator & Equipment, Inc. (IEE) has led the charge in raising building solutions industry standards since 1969. Our lasting partnership with Mitsubishi Electric has allowed us to make our technologies more accessible to Philippine establishments, and continuously deliver first-class solutions year after year.

At IEE, our dedication to advancing technology accessibility and improving efficiency is unwavering. This commitment to innovation — exemplified in our products, practices, and services — is how we revolutionize industry standards.


Excellence in product innovation

Staying ahead of the curve requires a relentless pursuit of innovation and an unwavering commitment to quality. Mitsubishi Electric exemplifies this with a century-long legacy of pioneering advancements, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Our company continues developing products to be more advanced for efficiency and sustainability, setting new benchmarks in multiple sectors.

Developing advanced building technologies

Innovation for Mitsubishi Electric involves integrating the latest technologies and features into the product offerings. In the case of the building solutions distributed by IEE, the following features exist to enable establishments to achieve their sustainability goals primarily through reducing environmental impact, encouraging energy efficiency, and advocating for building automation and management.

  • Incorporating materials that focus on energy efficiency. One of the primary ways Mitsubishi Electric drives innovation is through incorporating materials that enhance energy efficiency. For instance, the air conditioning systems utilize the R32 refrigerant. This refrigerant has a low global warming potential, making it energy-efficient while reducing environmental impact.
  • Advocating Building Management System (BMS) for smarter operations. The BMS optimizes energy use and streamlines building operations. This technology allows for comprehensive monitoring and control of a building's systems, including air conditioning, vertical transportation, lighting, water systems, and security. This integration enables building managers to effectively oversee the establishment. They can easily access the building’s various functions for 24/7 monitoring, interoperability, and cost savings.
  • Promoting vertical transportation systems for conducive crowd control. Vertical transportation systems, such as elevators and escalators, are critical components of modern buildings. They efficiently move people and products within an establishment. Mitsubishi Electric integrates motion control in escalators to conserve energy, and crowd control in elevators to improve safety. In addition, IEE strongly recommends the Elevator Modernization (ELEMOTION) solution. This solution modernizes aging elevators and transforms them into modern marvels. It also focuses on lessening the load on the building through load detection and monitoring to deliver a safer elevator experience.

With these features, we at IEE ensure that our clients benefit from the most advanced Mitsubishi Electric solutions.


Innovation at work

At IEE, innovation goes beyond the products we provide. We bring innovation into our business operations by implementing efficiency strategies. Our goal is to simplify the business process, ensuring the seamless integration of advanced technologies and practices. This commitment to innovation extends into how we operate and how we provide customer service.

Innovation in operations

We are committed to energy efficiency by practicing energy management in our operations. We implement an index to continuously measure, monitor, and improve our energy use. This helps provide a clear benchmark for performance, showcase innovation in practice, and demonstrate our dedication to sustainability.

In addition, Mitsubishi Electric technologies play a crucial role in our efforts to enhance energy efficiency. Building automation systems, for example, automate lighting and other efficiency measures. These systems ensure that energy is used only when necessary, therefore reducing waste and lowering operational costs. This approach exemplifies transformative practices that lead to significant energy savings.

Innovation in upholding modernization standards

Regular updates and modernization of equipment greatly remove the need for repairs and extend the lifespan of building systems, particularly elevators and escalators. To this end, we have solutions for modernizing elevators and escalators. We offer ELEMOTION for elevators and ESMOTION for escalators as a way to address and replace our clients’ aging vertical transportation.

Our commitment to modernization ensures that the products we supply remain at the forefront of technology, contributing to industry transformation. By minimizing repairs, we not only allow our clients to save on operational costs -- we also help enhance system reliability and overall performance.

Adhering to building security standards is another critical aspect of our modernization efforts at IEE. Ensuring that all systems are up-to-date with the latest security standards protects both the building and its occupants. This commitment to security is part of our broader strategy to redefine industry standards, providing peace of mind to customers and stakeholders alike.

Innovation in customer service

Our dedication to customer service is evident in our 24/7 customer support. This continuous service ensures that any issues with the technology or their operations are promptly addressed to maintain reliable service and customer satisfaction. Our round-the-clock availability underscores our staunch commitment to ensuring that innovative industry solutions work for our clients’ benefit in the long term.

Additionally, we offer comprehensive support from consultation to installation, as well as regular monitoring and maintenance.
