London Land Group partners with ABB to drive next generation home automation

London Land Group partners with ABB to drive next generation home automation

London Land Group and ABB Electrification’s Smart Buildings Division have signed a key supplier agreement that lays the found­a­tion for cutting-edge home automa­tion. The collab­or­a­tion under­scores London Land Group’s commit­ment to deliv­er­ing unpar­alleled living exper­i­ences through the seamless integ­ra­tion of innov­at­ive and connected systems that will be imple­men­ted across their forth­com­ing devel­op­ments in the UK.

Under the partner­ship, residents will benefit from energy savings and next-gener­a­tion home automa­tion. With energy manage­ment tools at their finger­tips, residents will exper­i­ence the full comfort and conveni­ence of being able to access and control a full range of smart appli­ances, devices, and systems, from a single app.

The first devel­op­ment is expected to be One Westmo­re­land in Bromley, where deploy­ment of smart techno­logy using ABB’s cutting-edge home systems, such as ABB-free@home®, with Samsung SmartTh­ings is intended to extend across all 122 apart­ments. Residents will enjoy a heightened living exper­i­ence via features such as geofen­cing, allowing lights, heating, ventil­a­tion, and air condi­tion­ing (HVAC) to adjust automat­ic­ally based on their proximity.

Mario Luca Balducci, Chief Executive of London Land Group, said, “Our goal is to make One Westmo­re­land a benchmark for sustain­able, comfort­able and conveni­ent homes. Lever­aging the integ­rated ABB-Samsung solution in this devel­op­ment, our residents will exper­i­ence the benefits of modern living, controlling everything from door entry, to heating and cooling, to smart appli­ances, through a single app or touch panels.”

On signing the new agreement in the UK, Mike Mustapha, President, ABB Smart Buildings, said, “Energy efficiency is a top priority and by partner­ing with us, and benefit­ing from the inter­op­er­ab­il­ity of our systems, London Land Group can achieve this along with excep­tional user exper­i­ence and comfort. This collab­or­a­tion enables us to further realise our shared mission to improve the well-being of both residents and entire communit­ies.”

Once consented for devel­op­ment, One Westmo­re­land will consist of 122 new resid­en­tial apart­ments, compris­ing a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, and over 1,500 sqm of high-quality office and retail floor­space. It will feature on-site renewable energy sources including solar panels and air-source heat pumps to further boost energy efficiency.
