Case Study:  Tour Ariane – a 151m office building
The chart above shows the effect of increasing the number of trips from 80,000 per month to 180,000.  More than doubling the number of trips would normally lead to an increase in energy consumption but in this case, after the Schindler ID MOD overlay, the energy consumption was reduced by about 40%.
The increase in trips is explained by the complete occupation of the building and a ban on smoking within the building.  This increase was easily absorbed with the use of Miconic 10 and Schindler ID.
Overlay - The invisible modernisation
When your lift system is straining to cope with the demands placed on it and the queues in the lift lobby are stretching out onto the street, then it's time to modernise.
But what happens when an already overloaded lift system is further reduced by taking one or more lifts out of service for modernisation?  The result can be a considerable period of disruption whilst the modernisation work is taking place.
The answer lies in Schindler ID Mod Overlay
Schindler ID Mod Overlay converts the existing lift control system so that our Miconic 10 technology can be readily integrated, before the modernisation work even begins.
Schindler Miconic 10 destination control maximises availability of the lifts thereby improving the performance for the users.  When the work begins, the efficiencies gained by the new control system counteract the effects of removing a lift from service for modernisation.
Further energy savings
Efficiencies in terms of traffic management are not the only savings you make using Schindler ID Mod overlay.
There could also be vast savings to be made in terms of energy costs.
Benefits to you and your project:
-No reduction in performance of your lift system during modernisation work
-Increased performance after the work is complete
-Substantial energy savings due to efficiency improvements
