Go green: Fujitec believes the future of elevators is green

The advancement of eco-friendly elevators has contributed to the growth of green buildings. Using sustainable building materials contributes toward cost reduction, better use of materials, and waste minimization, with enhanced quality of life ensuring a productive working environment. According to the World Green Building Trends survey, about 60% of construction firms across the globe were involved in green construction projects.

?Living green is the new style statement.

Urbanization is increasing; the development of modern high-rise buildings and smart vertical transportation systems are essential for this. The increasing migration of a large population base from rural areas toward cities has substantially increased the need for infrastructure development, such as high-rise buildings, metros, and other transportation infrastructure. To cater to the accommodation needs the requirement for eco-efficient and sustainable societies has increased.

?Do you know, biophilia design (which means incorporating nature into our built environment and designing inspirational and restorative places that connect humans to their surroundings)is also an area?expected to be prominent in 2022 ?to help with stress reduction, creativity, and improving well-being.

?In order to keep up with this incursion, manufacturers and developers will not only have to accommodate masses in large numbers but also keep the environment in mind and devise greener vertical transportation systems. Using technology to its maximum potential, elevators today can be devised with automatic systems where they limit their interior light and power supply once the flow of traffic is lesser, remaining consistent with the needs of the passengers. All these elements contribute to making an elevator green.

?Keeping all these factors in mind, Fujitec has adopted?Regenerative Drives?in their high-speed elevators, they regenerate power when the elevator is in use and transfer that to other required areas of the building. This saves energy through power regeneration and this regenerated power can be used to provide this energy to various other requirements like lighting, heating, etc.

Fujitec products have gearless permanent magnet motors which not only add to its speed but also smooth mobility and reduce the consumption of overall power. Various Studies conducted on regenerative drives tell us that the power saving is between 35% to 50% more than the conventional elevators. This reduces the life cycle cost of an elevator thus making it very attractive for customers to install these systems in high-rise buildings.

Passengers do not give much thought to elevators, unless they are standing in one or when one isn’t available, and they have to take the stairs. However, these vertical transportation systems have changed the face of cities, and today their sustainable models are also contributing to a greener future.?
