Sustainable Construction is Plannable

Green buildings need to incorporate sustainability into the overall planning – not just into individual aspects. The building life cycle needs to be considered as a whole. Such consistent building planning requires predictable data, which in turns requires plannable, adaptable electrical installation. Pluggable installation provides the ideal support for efficient design and implementation of the individual phases and offers added value in all phases of the life cycle. Pluggable installation is the answer.

The Most Important Information at a Glance:

  • Sustainability in construction means sustainability over the entire life cycle of a building: The foundation needs to be laid in the planning phase already.
  • The green building concept also requires convertibility: The technology has to allow rapid modification, sometimes even during ongoing building operation.
  • “The electrical installation needs to allow rapid modification – and this requirement will become even more important in the future.
  • Plannable and adaptable: pluggable installation systems like WINSTA® from WAGO

The Building Life Cycle with Pluggable Electrical Installation

An example: converting a doctor’s office with four rooms, each with two lights, into a daycare center with two rooms, each with four lights. With the plug-and-play approach, components can be replaced quickly and easily.

Existing cables can be reused, as long as they are suitable, or set aside for later applications. For example, if the electricians only change the switching groups, then they can replace some of the other components like the distribution boxes with suitable variants or reuse the same cables at other points. That saves money and conserves resources.
