Midea Building Technologies Showcases Innovative Solutions at AHR Expo 2026

Midea Building Technologies made a significant impact at AHR Expo 2026 by unveiling its comprehensive suite of advanced solutions for smart buildings under the theme "Smart in One." As industries increasingly demand innovation and integration, Midea's offerings are designed to meet the specific needs of critical sectors, including data centers, industrial parks, and commercial buildings.

Cutting-Edge Technologies for High-Performance Buildings

Among the standout products at the exhibit was the MagBoost Apex Pro—an energy-efficient centrifugal chiller with magnetic bearings. This groundbreaking device marks a significant step forward in HVAC technology, incorporating Midea's second-generation patented oil-free magnetic bearing system. This design eliminates mechanical friction, enhancing both efficiency and operational reliability, achieving an impressive IPLV of up to 9.71 when utilizing R1234ze(E) refrigerant.

With a focus on longevity, the compressor is engineered for a 30-year lifespan, operating quietly at a mere 70 dB(A) while offering protection rated at IP67. The modularity of the system allows for the combination of up to 16 units without the need for extra controls, supporting environmentally-friendly refrigerants like R1234ze(E) and R513A.

Comprehensive Thermal Management for Data Centers

As AI computing and high-density server deployments continue to grow, data centers are in need of reliable and efficient cooling solutions. Midea’s thermal management solution for this sector includes precise CDU units, high-performance ventilation panels, and efficient chillers, establishing the foundation for ultra-efficient data centers with a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) as low as 1.2. The system is designed for 24/7 reliability, featuring multi-level redundancy and leak-proof technology to ensure uninterrupted cooling operations.

Intelligent Integration at the Core

Central to Midea’s philosophy is the iBUILDING platform—a comprehensive digital tool that enables smart building management through seamless connectivity between devices, data, and operational scenarios. This award-winning platform offers compatibility with various equipment types, including VRF systems, heat pumps, and chillers, across a single unit, adhering to multiple communication protocols. The native integration with BACnet and Modbus ensures smooth interoperability with existing Building Management Systems (BMS).

The iBUILDING platform also features two primary applications: iEasyComfort, providing operational visibility and energy monitoring for end users; and iEasyCare, which facilitates predictive maintenance through real-time fault detection and performance analysis for service and maintenance personnel. This proactive approach enhances system reliability and energy optimization.

A Unified Response to Industry Challenges

"Our presence at AHR extends beyond merely showcasing products; it's about offering a comprehensive response to the pressing issues in our industry," stated a representative from Midea Building Technologies. "The 'Smart in One' philosophy emphasizes interconnected solutions aiming directly at energy intensity, operational resilience, and management complexities in sectors such as data centers, transportation hubs, industrial parks, and commercial buildings."

By adopting this integrated strategy, Midea positions itself not just as a supplier of equipment, but as a partner committed to advancing the global construction industry towards a more sustainable and intelligent future. As the event showcased, Midea is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge solutions that not only meet current demands but also pave the way for future innovations in building technology.
