Mitsubishi Electric has released details of a special
mobile display unit which has been developed specifically to
allow the company to take its range of advanced air
conditioning control systems out to customers’ buildings.
The display contains all of the companies most popular
control systems from the M2M platform which allows customers
to integrate multiple sites into one network, to the
advanced AG150 touch screen controller with webserver
capabilities and energy meter interfaces showing operators
the full potential of energy monitoring.
“We have developed this display so that we can easily
demonstrate to customers how effective control of their air
conditioning system can help lead to lower energy use,”
explains Mitsubishi Electric’s controls expert, Sebastien
Desmottes.
Mitsubishi Electric has led the way in advanced air
conditioning controls and in addition to general systems
which include touch screen controls that mean building
operators can easily monitor and control their energy use,
the company has developed specialist systems such as
Melcotel™, which can integrate with hotel room systems to
ensure that rooms are not using air conditioning when they
are empty.
In addition, Mitsubishi Electric has the largest BMS
interface range of any air conditioning manufacturer and has
also developed air conditioning controllers that can monitor
and link to other energy-using equipment such as lighting
and alarm systems.
“According to the Building Research Establishment, UK
buildings account for 44 per cent of all greenhouse gas
emissions which is more than industry or transport so anyone
involved in the built environment needs to find ways of
controlling and minimising their energy use,” adds
Desmottes. “This mobile system will allow us to respond to
customer’s requests and show them the benefits of advanced
control in their own premises.”
Historically, the capital costs of equipment and
installation drove purchasing decisions and few people gave
much thought to on-going running costs. But ‘fit and forget’
is no longer an option if we are to deliver greener, more
energy efficient and more economical buildings that can also
help building owners control costs.
Improving the monitoring, control and data reporting of our
heating and cooling equipment is perhaps the single most
impactful enhancement we can make and with today’s
increasingly predictive systems, the benefits are easy to
achieve too.
