Modern buildings thrive on the small wins that add up to major impacts. Whether it is an elevator update that improves the guest experience or new air conditioners that run more efficiently, we at Mitsubishi Electric ensure that each modernization project represents a step toward a more profitable building. International Elevator & Equipment, Inc. (IEE) offers these modernization solutions that maximize the functionality of current assets and minimize costs.

Elevating Vertical Transportation

On top of posing issues for the guest experience, legacy elevators are also prone to expensive repairs and higher operating costs. Even just basic repairs can cost a significant amount. However, a complete replacement is not the only option.

We offer modernization solutions that update Mitsubishi Electric equipment to minimize costs—ELEMOTION and NexWay Modernization. These solutions assess the current status of elevators and then implement updates only to the equipment that requires modernization. Moreover, through ESMOTION, we upgrade Mitsubishi Electric escalators as well, renewing its core components and safety features to enhance the passenger experience and lessen downtime.

Climate Control Solutions that Reduce Energy Costs

In commercial buildings, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are the single biggest energy user, responsible for roughly 35% of total energy use. ^[1] That is why investments in HVAC improvements pay dividends in the long run.

Our Mr. Slim split air conditioner offers significant energy efficiency improvements through its inverter system. This allows the unit to precisely match the cooling demand required to reach the intended temperature, reducing unnecessary cooling.

For larger buildings, Mitsubishi Electric offers chiller units with a modular design. Its modularity enables building managers to replace their current cooling solutions in phases. This spreads out the costs over time.

Improving Reliability with Modernized Systems

There is no doubt that modernizing systems can improve the energy efficiency of buildings. But more than this, modern solutions improve the reliability of systems, too. They reduce the risk of system failures that can affect the guest experience and the potential for required emergency repairs. Both of these factors can help buildings become safer and more profitable.

Modernize Without Disruption

Building modernization projects are typically associated with major disruptions to building operations. However, that does not have to be the case. Mitsubishi Electric’s solutions aim to minimize disruptions by breaking down large projects into more manageable phases that allow buildings to continue normal operations. Reach out to IEE today to learn how this approach can accommodate your building’s needs and start planning your next modernization project.
