Value-for-money technologies can elevate sustainability and operational efficiency, helping owners and facility managers reduce operating costs, unlock leasable areas, and enhance the occupant experience. Mitsubishi Electric’s world-renowned portfolio offers a clear path: smarter elevators, smarter controls, and smarter cooling, brought to the Philippine market through International Elevator & Equipment, Inc. (IEE).

Smart Solutions That Deliver Results

Traditional building systems can at times be bulky and consume significant amounts of energy. These occupy considerable space in a building and reduce the potential for profit. Investing in value-for-money building solutions can solve these issues and deliver results.

Retaking Valuable Real Estate

One way building managers can start making better use of their building’s real estate is with machine room-less (MRL) elevators. MRL elevators, like NEXIEZ-MRL, offer the benefit of versatile design and enable businesses to maximize their building’s space for other purposes apart from vertical transportation.

Improving Climate Control Efficiency

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems typically account for 40% of a building’s total energy consumption. ^[1] And with Philippine establishments needing to run their air conditioning systems almost year-round due to the hot and humid climate, that percentage can grow even higher.

That is why efficient HVAC systems such as the Mr. SLIM Inverter Series R32 are so critical. It uses an inverter to reduce the compressor cycles required to maintain a precise temperature, improving energy efficiency. The Mr. SLIM series air conditioner also conceals into the ceiling, removing the need for a mechanical room or hefty air conditioning units that consume significant space.

Integration Creates Exponential Value

Beyond improving the efficiency of individual systems, building owners and facility managers can achieve overall improvements to their building’s efficiency with building automation systems.

One way to implement building automation is with Mitsubishi Electric’s DCM-9000™ Controller. It unifies separate subsystems—elevators, air conditioning systems, metering, and sensors—into a single, secure layer for visualization, analytics, and control. This enables centralized monitoring of the systems. An individual worker can track building systems to remotely identify and analyze energy waste and optimize the use of systems in real-time. It also supports scheduling to automate building systems based on daily and weekly routines.

The Profitability Equation

Strategic investments in Mitsubishi Electric’s building systems can create opportunities to grow revenue and improve profit margins through more efficient space utilization and energy consumption. But the best strategy depends on a business’s goals and the current status of its building. That is why IEE offers consultations to help create the optimal strategy for turning building systems into profit-driving investments. Reach out today to get started!
