Lift electricity use is a small part of a building's bill but a real running cost. It depends on lift type, load, trips and standby features, not on a single number. Here is what actually matters.
What affects lift energy use
- Lift type: hydraulic, traction geared and gearless drives differ.
- Number of trips: more trips mean more energy.
- Load and balance: a well-balanced counterweight saves energy.
- Standby: lights, fans and displays use power when idle.
- Drive technology: modern drives are more efficient.
Ways to reduce running cost
- Choose an efficient drive.
- Use LED cabin lighting.
- Use standby modes that switch off lights and fans when idle.
- Maintain the lift so that friction and wear stay low.
- Consider regenerative drives for busy lifts. See regenerative drive lifts.
