The Role of Eco Lifts in Sustainable Building Design
Prioritising sustainability is bound to be hugely important for your small business, expanding organisation or new startup in 2024, with legislation, increased pressure and public demand to deal with.
Though sweeping changes across the board to establish yourself as a leader in sustainable design and operations may not be practical, integrating minor yet significant changes may be a reasonable compromise, which is where sustainable building design thrives.
Not sure where to start? With the right tips and ample planning, you can transform your main office space or primary business facilities into a sustainable space. Read ahead and take on board some fantastic actionable advice from ADL Lift Services - trusted installers of eco lifts, and national experts in how these environmentally friendly utilities function.
Thoughtful Building Planning
Considerate planning of new features, buildings or renovations can pave the way for more environmentally friendly changes to be made, and sustainable building design hinges on these adjustments being made with the environment in mind.
An approach that uses different sustainable principles to reduce the destructive effects of climate change, business owners are turning to sustainable design for everything from tech, decorative elements and even core operations.
Such design principles don’t abandon aesthetics completely, and still hinge on the fact that business owners and occupants favour sturdy, modern and stylish constructions. The primary goal of these design methods is to lessen the consumption of non-renewable energy resources and minimise waste that may contribute to global warming overall.
A sustainable building is also designed to preserve the surrounding environment as much as possible, favouring renewables and innovative practices.
What Are Eco Lifts?
Just one component of sustainable design, eco lifts from ADL Lift Services make navigation in multilevel buildings seamless.
Functioning in much the same way as traditional elevators, but with the added benefit of a modern energy-saving feature, these measures can not only save you money, but provide extra assurances to customers and stakeholders alike. Satisfy your eco-conscious staff and clients with a real 21st Century measure within your walls.
Inexpensive to install and no less functional than your existing elevator installations, our eco lifts include energy recovery technology to enhance your business, making them ideal for everything from an office to a large commercial build.
ADL energy saving elevators come as standard models, while they’re also available as machine room-less (MRL) options with innovative built-in power recovery drives to satisfy legal requirements.
Fantastic Modern Design
Fitted with multiple modern features, and with several fantastic integrated assets, modern eco elevators function via a control system with microprocessor and CAN (Controller Area Network) technology.
Meticulously designed, when your dedicated eco-lift motor brakes, it generates electricity that can then be fed back into the electricity grid for future use. Not only this, when it isn’t being used, the eco elevator in question will be powered down so only key elements are in use.
While inactive, either overnight or during periods of limited use, all elements of the eco lift will enter a state of hibernation, not only reducing overall power consumption, but saving money in the process.
Last but not least, our eco-industrial elevators also use LEDs as a handy design substitute, as opposed to halogen lighting which may be present in less sustainable elevators. This further reduces energy consumption by up to 80% in some cases.
The Proven Benefits
Beneficial not only to yourself as a stakeholder, but to your employees, clients and customers too, whereas traditional elevators consume bundles of energy at any one time they’re in use, this issue doesn’t remain with energy saving options.
MRL (machine room-less) gearless lifts from ADL Lift Services use up to 50% less energy than traction drive devices and 70% less energy than hydraulic drive devices. 50% of the energy used by your elevator can be recovered by regenerative devices too, for future applications.
Lighting up the space and making a difference in the process, the LED lights we utilise within our elevators use significantly less energy and last up to 10 times longer than halogen lights, with a staggering 50% to 70% energy saving achieved with full modernisation of your lifts.
