Mitsubishi Electric Thailand launches Sustainable Building Collaboration
Mitsubishi Electric Thailand has officially launched its Sustainable Building Collaboration 2024 initiative. Designed to support Thailand’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050 and Net Zero Emissions by 2065, the program fosters an ecosystem for sustainable building, combining advanced automation, green building technologies, and multi-sector partnerships.
As part of the launch event, held at the True Digital Park in Bangkok, Mitsubishi Electric demonstrated its full range of technologies designed to support Net Zero buildings. This included automation systems and advanced energy management tools developed specifically for commercial and industrial facilities.
Mitsubishi Electric also showcased “SUSTIE” its Net Zero Energy Building (ZEB) prototype, which is designed to prioritize both sustainability and occupant comfort. SUSTIE integrates IoT-based controls to manage temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels, ensuring optimal indoor conditions while maintaining energy efficiency.
Hiroki Nishiyama, Global Manager of Data Center Marketing, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, said: “The key feature of SUSTIE as a ZEB prototype is that as a building it uses significantly less energy than a normal building and can produce its own energy using solar power.” “In creating SUSTIE, we have leveraged Mitsubishi Electric's strengths by introducing the most efficient equipment and systems to achieve high energy saving targets. For example, the ventilation system utilizes the Lossnay brand of ventilating heat exchangers to recover indoor heat and apply it to incoming fresh air to the building. Additionally, the elevator system uses Mitsubishi Electric's own elevators, which can be seamlessly connected to all systems.”
In addition to demonstrating how its technology can help to achieve a Net Zero future, Mitsubishi Electric Thailand also used the Sustainable Building Collaboration launch event to announce a partnership with the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO).
