The EMerge Alliance‚ an industry association helping to adopt safe direct-current (DC) power distribution standards for commercial buildings‚ has announced that 22 additional products are now compliant with the EMerge Alliance initial standard covering the Occupied Space in commercial buildings. In addition, 16 new members have joined the organization.

A system demo and an information session were also presented at the Osram Sylvania booth at Lightfair International, which ran from May 15-19 in Philadelphia, Pa. (EBMag was there at the show! Continue to check our website for videos and more news articles from this year’s show.)

According to EMerge Alliance chairman Brian Patterson, more and more companies are realizing the benefits of efficient DC power distribution throughout commercial buildings, and are signing up to help bring solutions to the market today. This includes applications related to 24VDC in room-level power distribution, as well as new standards and products for higher voltage applications, including 380VDC distribution throughout the building for data centers, building services and outdoor uses, such as electric vehicle charging stations, he said.

“We’re aggressively working with our members to advance DC power standards and release compatible building products,” said Patterson. “By contributing to EMerge Alliance standards and building Registered products, our members are making net-zero energy buildings a reality.”

Since the alliance announced its first registered products last November at Greenbuild, the following additional products have achieved EMerge Alliance Registered product status. They have been independently evaluated and determined to be compliant with the EMerge Alliance Occupied Space Standard, which integrates interior power, infrastructures, controls and peripherals into a microgrid platform to facilitate the hybrid use of AC and DC power in commercial interiors:
