    [ Hot Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Sustainable development is one of the main topics of our era
    .
    The future of the earth is the future of mankind
    .
    Protecting our planet is the greatest challenge facing the global society
    .
    It's up to everyone, and it's up to governments and businesses
    .
    With this in mind, environmental awareness is shifting from a personal life>
    .
    From Microsoft in information technology, to service providers like the Dussman Group, to multinational corporations like T-Systems MMS all recognize the need to address this obligation
    .
    Energy harvesting is one of the technologies they are turning to
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots focus on chemical machinery and equipment
      Turn existing buildings into smart buildings
     
    Turn existing buildings into smart buildings
      Buildings consume 40% of the world's energy and emit 36% of the world's carbon dioxide
    .
    Building energy efficiency is the way to go in order to meet the UN and other climate goals, including retrofitting the entire existing building stock
    .
    Retrofitting old buildings is faster than building new ones
    .
    It's an option to meet increasingly pressing climate and sustainability goals
    .
    We simply don't have time to create new smart buildings
    .

     

      Sensors play a key role, and wireless solutions offer clear advantages here, such as sustainability
    .
    No wires required and installation is quick and easy
    .
    It is also more cost-effective than wired solutions, up to 70% for retrofits and about 30% for new construction
    .
    The result is not only improved carbon emissions in buildings, but also lower energy consumption, typically 30% in commercial buildings
    .
    Sustainability is further promoted by reducing our reliance on resources such as copper and PVC required for cables
    .
    Smart spaces that use sensors to monitor occupancy at seat and desk levels could allow companies to reduce necessary office space by 25% to 40%, resulting in significant savings in additional costs, energy usage and CO2 emissions
    .

     
    sensor
      Battery-free wireless technology from EnOcean goes a step further
    .
    Its modules are powered by harvesting energy from the environment through motion, ambient light and temperature differences
    .
    This means no battery replacement, no maintenance, and no toxic waste
    .
    It is a proven technology installed in more than 1 million buildings worldwide
    .
    In this day and age, self-powered wireless is the obvious choice, and this technology is leading us towards a world of energy efficiency, health and safety
    .

     

      Smart Office Space
     
     Smart Office Space
      Sustainability is a key commitment that must be acted upon
    .
    Microsoft is an example of such a commitment
    .
    The company hopes to meet CO2 emissions targets by 2030, and by 2050 all emissions from the company since its founding in 1975 will be neutralized
    .
    Achieving these ambitious but vital goals will require changes in the way people live and work
    .
    In addition to the smart devices we use every day, smart buildings and smart spaces are revolutionizing the way businesses do business, making them faster, smarter, safer and more sustainable
    .

     

      In this case, the continuous use of building automation alone can save about 12% of total energy consumption and 10% of total CO2 emissions
    .
    However, only about 1% of the national building stock is actually retrofitted each year
    .

     

      With innovative solutions such as Azure Digital Twins, Microsoft has been at the forefront of this trend
    .
    This is an IoT service that creates a comprehensive model of the physical environment
    .
    It can create spatial intelligence diagrams to model the relationships and interactions between people, spaces and devices
    .

     

      Thomas Frahler, director of Microsoft's AzureBD IoT business, explained: "Microsoft joined the EnOcean Alliance in 2019 with the goal of driving the standardization of smart building controls
    .
    Through this collaboration, Microsoft hopes to help businesses rapidly adopt digital technologies and help them build their own digital ability
    .

      While virus precautions are being lifted, we still need buildings that improve health and well-being
    .
    The virus has also raised awareness of the need to monitor and control air quality, lighting levels, temperature and occupancy levels
    .

     

      With 60,000 employees in 21 countries, Germany's Dussmann Group is one of the leading providers of integrated facility management services in Germany and globally
    .
    They are investing heavily in modern, attractive work environments and flexible new ways of working for their employees
    .
    They want to retain their staff for many years to come, while ensuring high productivity and improving the efficiency of management practices
    .

     

      One example is Philip Conrad, CEO of Dussmann Services
    .
    The way people use offices and work has changed since the pandemic
    .
    Therefore, implement a user-oriented cleaning concept to ensure a more sustainable and efficient deployment and utilization of personnel as well as products
    .

     

      Therefore, the Dussmann Group is investing heavily in the digitization of its business and management processes
    .
    The family-owned company is leveraging developments such as robots and sensors in building cleaning, user-friendly applications, and smart tableware in catering or IoT projects, as part of the project "Dussmann Digital", the next phase of its strategy
    .

     

      In the IoT field pilot project at the Berlin Global Headquarters in 2019, IoT sensors were installed in public areas on the 4th floor of the building, including two meeting rooms, a hygiene area and a kitchenette

    We are creating new solutions for buildings, especially smart buildings and smart spaces
    .
    For example, we are integrating sensors into buildings and rooms in order to measure whether and how rooms in buildings are being used
    .

     

      Sandor Modsching, VP Digital Work at T-SystemsMMS, details the reasoning behind the project: "The smart space platform offers many benefits to our clients
    .
