What makes a building a quick-change artist?

Flexibility and safety are among the biggest competitive advantages of the CityCube in Berlin. Siemens supports the trade fair and congress location with intelligently networked systems.

Smart, secure, multifunctional

The CityCube at Messe Berlin is an extremely versatile event arena with the highest safety standards. Intelligent networking of energy distribution, building automation, and fire protection from Siemens ensures the safe and economical operation of the location. The CityCube thus reliably provides the perfect setting for events of all kinds.

Quickly switching between different trade fairs, congresses, and events with constantly changing requirements and parallel room usage: This requires flexible building architecture and an integrated approach to energy supply, security, and fire alarm technology. Thanks to an overall concept from Siemens, the CityCube meets all these requirements, including the highest classification for safety and fire regulations. In addition, the CityCube is networked with Messe Berlin GmbH's existing fire protection and building automation concept.

Smart buildings are prepared for all events.

Siemens met the challenges posed by such a complex project by using innovative technologies. Siemens energy specialists provided support for the power supply planning at an early stage. The entire power connection was planned virtually in advance. This service later enabled the quick and smooth installation of a comprehensive energy supply system. At the heart of the system are the low-voltage switchgear and the power distribution rails.

The integration of two systems ensures the perfect interaction of fire protection and building control. The Sinteso fire protection system monitors 1,600 intelligent fire detectors and reliably distinguishes false alarms from real fires. The system also immediately sounds the alarm in the event of dangerous CO concentrations. It is linked to the Desigo building management system, which evaluates information from more than 40,000 sensors and data points. This system connects, regulates, controls, and monitors heating, air conditioning, ventilation, lighting, and blinds.

This has resulted in one of the world's most intelligent multifunctional exhibition, convention, and event arenas, which is flexible enough to meet constantly changing requirements.

The diversity of modern convention business requires the utmost flexibility, reliability, and security. This is the only way to quickly switch from trade fair to convention mode.
