Lifts Energy Consumption in Greece: Existing Situation and Potential Sayings

摘要

Despite the relatively low population of Greece, there are about 400,000 lifts in operation. This study focuses on the energy consumed by these lifts in a period of one year. The study is based on energy measurements carried out on lifts of diverse technology and on an estimate of the number of existing lifts representing each type of technology. Finally, estimation is provided of the potential annual energy savings that will result from a potential modernization of existing lifts using the available technology.
