Energy-Efficient Elevators: What Green Builders Need in 2025

Published on December 05, 2024 by Lubeck Elevators

In 2025, sustainable building is no longer a niche—it's a necessity. Elevators can account for up to 10% of a building's total energy consumption, making them a critical area for optimization. Lubeck Elevators is committed to green technology, offering solutions that help builders achieve certifications like LEED and GRIHA while significantly cutting electricity bills.

Key Green Technologies from Lubeck:

1. Regenerative Drives

Conventional elevators dissipate braking energy as heat. Lubeck's regenerative drives capture this energy and convert it back to usable electricity. In a busy commercial building, this technology can reduce elevator energy consumption by up to 40%, leading to substantial cost savings and a smaller carbon footprint.

2. Gearless PMSM Motors

We use Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) which are up to 30% more efficient than traditional geared motors. They are also more compact, require no oil (eliminating the risk of leaks), and offer a smoother, quieter ride.

3. LED Lighting and Smart Standby

All our cabins use energy-efficient LED lighting, which consumes 80% less power than halogen bulbs. Additionally, our smart controllers automatically switch the cabin lights, fan, and display to a low-power standby mode during idle periods, further reducing energy waste.

4. Destination Control Systems

Our AI-powered destination control not only reduces wait times but also optimizes elevator trips. By grouping passengers with similar destinations, it minimizes the number of stops, leading to more efficient travel paths and lower overall energy usage.

Choosing a Lubeck elevator is a step towards a greener future. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our ISO 14001:2015 certification for environmental management. Build green, build smart, build with Lubeck.
