Modern building technology (Jin Mao building in Shanghai)

Jun 25, 2007
Siemens developed the fire protection and evacuation system for the 421 meter high Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai. The system comprises 10,000 fire alarms, 7,700 smoke alarms and 100 system control centers all of which register the smallest hint of smoke and, in the case of fire, ensure the automatic initiation of the preprogrammed evacuation procedure. Modern building technology has been a great help in reducing the system’s energy consumption. Siemens has carried out energy-saving contracting for around 6,500 building projects worldwide with guaranteed savings of around EUR 1 billion as well as CO2 reductions of 2.4 million tons.
