ABB improves building intelligence and promotes low-carbon life development

ABB enhances building intelligence and promotes the development of low-carbon life. ABB's advanced technologies and rich experience support the construction of ecologically livable cities in China, and intelligent construction equipment brings convenience to people.

Beijing, September 28, 2010 – ABB, the world’s leading power and automation technology group, today emphasized at the first “China (Tianjin Binhai) International Eco-city Forum” held in Tianjin that the current building energy consumption accounts for about the world’s total energy consumption. 40%, building energy efficiency through intelligent technologies is the key to building an eco-city. As a leading company in the field of global energy efficiency, ABB has strong technology and rich experience in building intelligence and energy saving, and is helping people gradually move toward a more convenient and low-carbon life.

Wang Zhongdan, general manager of Beijing ABB Low Voltage Electric Co., Ltd., said: “ABB's leading intelligent building control technology helps various types of public buildings and residential buildings continue to improve the level of intelligence and reduce overall energy consumption, so that users enjoy advanced, comfortable, safe and intelligent At the same time, we can also get economic returns through energy conservation.Eco-friendly cities can not be built without intelligent energy-saving buildings.We hope to use our own experience and technology to help China build more ecological cities. Bring more green and low-carbon life to the public.”

According to ABB's philosophy, intelligent buildings should be able to achieve many complex functions such as automatic energy billing, lighting, automatic control of the sunshade and ventilation systems, user communications, home and external data communications, and the clean energy grids produced by the houses themselves. User needs to respond and support a variety of future home applications including electric vehicles. The entire building can use energy rationally, truly achieve energy use on demand and the highest level of energy efficiency.

ABB i-bus® intelligent building control system is the main representative of ABB intelligent building solutions. It covers modular hardware, various sensors and drive control equipment, signal monitoring equipment, central control systems and other packages of hardware and software solutions, with simple control, Flexible, efficient, safe, reliable and economical. ABB i-busTM intelligent building control system can be widely used in office buildings, hotels, airports, subways, hospitals, schools, stadiums and other kinds of public buildings and apartments, villas and other home environment, to meet the comfort of modern buildings, safety Higher requirements in automation, etc., while significantly reducing energy consumption. In the office building application, ABB i-busTM system can centrally monitor, control and control the lighting, sunshading, and air conditioning of the entire office building through a centrally controlled graphical interface. It can also automatically control and adjust public areas according to natural light changes. Landscape lighting; In home applications, the i-busTM system can intelligently control lighting, air conditioning, curtains, and other facilities in every functional area of ​​the home.

For 25 years, ABB has participated in thousands of building energy conservation projects in more than 60 countries around the world. For example, the use of the ABB i-bus® intelligent building control system in the Rovereto Museum of Modern Art in Italy reduced energy consumption by 28%. Comparison tests conducted according to relevant European Union standards have shown that using ABB's i-bus® intelligent building control system to achieve overall control of lighting, blinds and other equipment can save up to 52% of lighting power and 50% of ventilation and air conditioning system power.

In China, ABB's i-bus® intelligent building control system has participated in a number of key construction projects including the National Stadium (Bird's Nest), the National Swimming Center (Water Cube) and the Beijing Capital Airport Terminal 3, and its good energy performance has also won. Industry consensus. In the Beijing Capital Airport Terminal 3 project, the application of the ABB i-bus® intelligent building control system saved more than 20% of the lighting energy.

The first "China (Tianjin Binhai) International Ecological City Forum" held on September 28 this year was sponsored by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the People's Republic of China, the Tianjin Municipal People's Government, and the China International Economic Exchange Center, and was hosted by the Tianjin Binhai New District People's Government. The theme of this forum is "Ecological City Creates a Harmonious Future". Together with government officials from all walks of life, experts and scholars, and people from the business community, this forum will explore new models and methods for the construction of ecological cities.
