EMerge Alliance announces 26 alliance-registered products for DC power distribution

November 25, 2010 | By Craig Pearson


The EMerge Alliance—an industry association for the adoption of direct-current (DC) power distribution standards for commercial buildings—announced the first set of 26 EMerge Alliance-registered products at the U.S. Green Building Council’s annual International Conference and Expo.

“By evaluating and registering products for compliance to EMerge Alliance standards, the alliance and its members are delivering opportunities for commercial buildings—both new construction and renovation—to be more energy efficient and sustainable,” said EMerge Alliance chair Brian Patterson. “These products deliver on the alliance’s promise of safe, flexible, easy-to-use DC power for rooms so building owners and specifiers can choose them with confidence. We’ve taken another important step in making energy efficient DC power systems available in the market.”

The following products have been Registered as compliant with the alliance’s 24vDC room-level standard that integrates interior power, infrastructures, controls and peripherals into a microgrid platform to facilitate the hybrid use of AC and DC power in commercial interiors. They will be branded as EMerge Alliance Registered to indicate interoperability in this power distribution system:
