Schindler's range of standard lifts can help your project achieve your required BREEAM rating.
Two BREEAM credits are available for the installation of energy efficient lifts and the following demonstrates compliance:
Credit 1:
1. An analysis of transport demand and patterns for the building has been carried out by the design team to determine the optimum number and size of lifts and counterbalancing ratio on the basis of anticipated passenger demand.
Schindler are happy to conduct a traffic analysis for your building. If you would like more information on this, please contact us
2. The energy consumption for at least two types of lift or lift strategy 'fit for purpose' has been estimated and the system with the lowest energy consumption specified.
Credit 2:
(On fulfillment of credit 1)
Of the following energy efficient features, the three that offer the greatest potential energy saving are specified:
a. The lifts operate in a stand-by mode during off-peak and idle periods. For example the power side of the controller and other auxiliary equipment such as lift car lighting and ventilation fan switch off when the lift is not in motion.
b. Where lift motors use a drive controller capable of variable speed, variable voltage, variable frequency control of the drive motor.
c. The lift has a regenerative unit so that energy generated by the lift (due to running up empty and down full) is returned back to the grid or used elsewhere on site.
d. The lift car uses energy efficient lighting and display lighting (>60 Lumens/Watt or fittings that consume less than 5W e.g. LEDs).
The Schindler range of standard lifts (Schindler 3100, 3300 and 5300) and the Schindler 5400 lift for commercial buildings meets the criteria for points a, b and d.
Please note that each building is assessed on a case by case basis and the lifts will undergo an assessment as part of the main building assessment.
