Equipping Microsoft's new Munich headquarters was a challenging, high-profile project which not only set new standards in many key areas but also provides an excellent reference for ABB. Besides having the latest Information Technology installed, the headquarters features modern building technology in all its forms: high flexibility for furnishings and office configuration, high-capacity communications, and optimum data security and user comfort. And the cooperation between ABB and Microsoft has not stopped with the planning and realization of the project. Under the terms of a 15-year energy provision contract, ABB Energiesysteme GmbH will supply all the energy - power, heat and cooling - the headquarters requires, leaving the customer to concentrate on his core business.
