4 ENVIRONMENT
Elevators have an impact on the environment during their lifetime in the course of material
and energy use, as well as wastes and emissions in manufacturing, installation and service.
At KONE, our policy is to develop and supply environmentally-sound products.
4.1 KONE's environmental policy
We at KONE are conscious of the problems facing our environment and as a global
organization feel that it is our duty to take care of and protect it. We do this through our
operating practices and by developing environmentally-sound products and services. We feel
that it is everyone's responsibility to ensure, and continually improve, efficient and economical
use of all available natural resources.
4.2 Building efficiency
Your KONE elevator is an example of our environmental policy in practice and it shows how
product innovations can minimize environmental degradation in building construction.
Eliminating the need for a machine room, this elevator can be fitted into the building with
minimum space requirements, saving costs compared with traditional elevator solutions. This
is our contribution to the customer wish to make buildings more efficient and more
environmentally friendly.
4.3 Energy savings
In accordance with regulations concerning the emissions of "greenhouse gases" and
requirements for energy savings, the machine combined with the new control unit uses
significantly less energy than a traditional traction machine with the same lifting power.
Energy savings have characterized the design of the entire life cycle of this product. The light
and compact hoisting machine, together with the elimination of the machine room, saves
much of the considerable energy consumed in the production of materials for a traditional
traction elevator. The elevator also has an optional feature that switches off the elevator car
lights when it has been idle for a few minutes.
The energy consumed by an elevator depends on the load, speed, travel height, average
travel, traffic density, elevator technology and moving masses, for example, car and
counterweight. This document consequently does not include energy consumption figures.
For more information on the power supply requirements, for example, voltage, frequency,
maximum current and power, see the order bound document Basic Characteristics of the Lift
in the owner’s documentation binder.
