In a significant move for the smart building and lighting industry, ABB and Zumtobel Group have partnered to develop advanced integrated solutions aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and sustainable practices. This collaboration leverages ABB’s expertise in building automation and Zumtobel’s proficiency in innovative lighting systems. The duo also intends to explore direct current (DC) technology to support sustainable industrial applications.
Focus on Innovation and Sustainability
The partnership highlights the integration of sensor-based solutions that can optimize energy usage, reduce carbon emissions, and promote sustainable building operations. By advancing DC technology, ABB and Zumtobel plan to make strides in minimizing energy losses and enhancing the efficiency of industrial applications. This initiative supports the broader trend of shifting from conventional alternating current (AC) systems to more efficient DC-based infrastructures.
Expanding Industry Standards and Reach
Through their combined technological capabilities, the two companies aim to establish new benchmarks in the smart building sector. As active participants in the Open Direct Current Alliance, ABB and Zumtobel are well-positioned to advocate for and develop standards that promote the adoption of DC power systems, potentially transforming energy practices across industries.
This partnership is set to influence sectors requiring smart, sustainable solutions and bolster the companies’ roles in promoting eco-friendly practices in modern construction and industrial design.
