WORKSHOP - The Return of the Hydraulic Lift?: Convenor: Luc Rivet, ELCA, Belgium

摘要

The lighter environmental impact of hydraulic lifts is now clear for a majority of lifts installed (residential and low buildings) thanks to the comparative LCA's of the ITA study (Saragossa University - Spain). The work method and results of the ITA study will be analysed in the different phases of the life of the lift. The environmental performance of the newest types of both traction and hydraulic lifts are compared in terms of usage categories over a theoretical lifetime of 20 years, to determine the areas of best performance for each type. The environmental results of modernization are also envisaged.
