The development, which features a mix of residential and commercial units, opted for ABB’s smart-home technology solution to meet the growing demand for a more intelligent, comfortable and convenient living environment.
“The ABB-free@home® is a realization of our principle of the Internet of Things, Services, and People,” said Daniel Oh, Product Marketing Manager for Conventional Wiring Accessories and Building Automation Product Groups, Electrification Products division. “By making use of intelligent automation equipment, we not only create an environment of comfort and security for people – we also reap the benefits of energy efficiency and productivity, while gathering valuable information that supports sustainable development.”
Through the ABB-free@home® solution, future residents of The Wisteria, the first Government Land Sale (GLS) site mandating the use of prefabricated pre-finished volumetric construction (PPVC), can experience a refreshing feeling of freedom and independence, as they can control home functions – like lights, air conditioning and the main door entry, remotely – using a smartphone or similar device, and a single, easy to use system.
“Our primary objective is to ensure practical convenience that is both reliable and secure for our residents,” said a spokesperson for both The Wisteria and Wisteria Mall. “More importantly, we hope to give them the ability to be in control wherever and whenever they please.”
The Wisteria is also equipped with ABB’s elegant Millenium collection, which was given the “red dot design award” and “Interior Innovation Award” for successfully combining its distinctive and innovative design with practical functionality.
