The Season of Preparation: Building System Investments for the Holidays

Before the season of celebration, first must come a season of preparation—especially for establishments that see an influx of people during the Yuletide, like shopping malls, hospitality businesses, and transportation hubs. Reinforcing an establishment’s essential facilities, such as its elevators, escalators, and building automation systems, can help a business accommodate the holiday rush and seize the opportunities of the season.

At International Elevator & Equipment Inc. (IEE), we provide a diverse range of Mitsubishi Electric technologies that contribute to smooth, safe, and energy-efficient building operations and a joyful, comfortable visitor experience.


Lifting Holiday Spirits with Reliable Vertical Transport

The festive season is a time of constant movement, with families flocking to shopping centers for their holiday shopping and people filling up airports to travel home or go on long-awaited trips. In such busy places, the dependability of available vertical transport modes can mean a world of difference: swift and safe mobility to support smooth end-of-year festivities.

We offer Mitsubishi Electric’s elevator and escalator modernizations that transform aging, failing units into modern technological marvels, powerful machines that can keep up with the holiday rush without breaking down. For instance, through modernization, old NexWay elevators can be revamped to deliver higher levels of comfort with lower chances of failure, as well as lessened passenger waiting times—a must for transporting more people, more efficiently. This modernization model also features the world’s first variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) inverter control for elevators, resulting in groundbreaking energy savings of up to 40 percent. Plus, sophisticated design options can add to the premium, celebratory ambiance of an establishment.

Alongside elevators, escalators are the silent heroes in many of the holiday season’s most popular establishments, such as commercial centers, hotels, and transport hubs. Our Esmotion model upgrades the core components and safety features of Mitsubishi Electric escalators already 20-25 years old, cutting down accident risks, energy use, and downtime. This way, people can shop, celebrate, and travel without worry—and building administrators can accommodate them without worry, too.

Similarly, Mitsubishi Electric Moving Walks can significantly ease pedestrian traffic in places most likely to get crowded during the Christmas rush, such as airports, supermarkets, shopping malls, and tourist attractions. Not only do they provide a welcome break from active walking, their width and design are also accommodating toward wheelchair users. Additionally, our inclined moving walks enable people with heavy luggage or bulky shopping carts to traverse from floor to floor with less trouble.


Smooth Celebrations with Smart Building Management

Efficient facility administration is a must for holiday readiness. Amid the seasonal buzz, our Diamond Controls DCM-9000™ Controller makes management more manageable—by integrating the controls of multiple building systems into one compact solution. Building temperatures, water features, lighting, and more can be seamlessly monitored and controlled to ensure operational efficiency and occupant comfort.


Functionality for All Seasons with Preventive Maintenance

For establishments that rely on building technologies, good proactive maintenance is necessary practice, not just for the holidays but for all seasons. In addition to cutting-edge building technologies, we offer specialized maintenance services that help clients make the most of their investments, minimizing the risk of failure and maximizing the performance and lifespan of equipment. Our technical assistance services are available 24/7, complete with expert support from the Mitsubishi Information Center.

Moreover, our building automation systems empower building owners, managers, and occupants with data-driven diagnostics that can be used in predictive maintenance programs—catching issues before they become serious problems, optimizing establishments for the most important time of the year.


Merry, Hassle-Free Holidays with Mitsubishi Electric

Behind a successful season of joy are smart technological investments toward efficient operations and a merry experience for all. Modernizing an establishment’s vertical transport modes and building management, as well as committing to proactive maintenance, go a long way in making the hectic holidays less problem-prone and more prosperous.
