SAN RAMON, Calif. — The EMerge Alliance — an open industry association aimed at facilitating the rapid adoption of safe DC power distribution standards for commercial buildings — unveiled its first multilevel DC power demonstration to show the hybrid AC-DC power concept for a building at the Greenbuild Conference in Toronto.

The demonstration showcased a range of DC power applications available currently, as well as those that will be available in the future, said Brian Patterson, chairman of the Emergence Alliance.
