| Kone announces 50% energy reduction in its volume elevators Finnish lift and escalator maker Kone announced that it has achieved its 50 percent energy reduction target for new elevators. The ambitious global target was set in 2008 and covers the clear majority of Kone elevators delivered globally. By reducing the energy consumption of elevators, Kone seeks to reduce the environmental impact of buildings which account for 40 percent of global energy consumption. Kone's new range of volume elevators that are currently offered consume 50 percent less energy than the typical Kone elevator configuration from 2006. Today, Kone's European volume elevators consume 60 percent less energy, Asian volume elevators consume 50 percent less and US volume elevators consume 40 percent less energy. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
