Energy-efficient high-speed elevators at One World Trade Center in new York

    




All will be set 73 lifts and 11 escalators. Visitors can climb to the hundredth floor in just a minute.

Usually in the Elevator each cabin has its own electric motor, which is actually 60% is operated and consumes energy in the standby mode, the ventilation and air conditioning, explained Andreas Shirinbek, CEO & Executive Chairman ThyssenKrupp Elevator. New elevators is optimized on the waiting time. They use "smart" delivery system passengers, uniting them on the floors to reduce the number of stops on the landing-landing. Central electronic dispatching controls the movement of the flow of passengers and demand of elevators for floors. In addition, the new elevators themselves produce additional electric power, sufficient for lighting needs of the building.





The principle of recovery of the braking energy is similar to that used in hybrid cars. The brake system converts energy into electrical energy. In elevators ThyssenKrupp less energy began to move in heat and air conditioning costs of the engine room also decreased.

Implementation of smart Elevator system and escalators will reduce the total costs of building One World Trade Center up to 30%.
