Seminar 2 - "Energy Efficiency - What Part can Lifts Play?"
As the World's awareness of the importance of energy conservation and efficiency grows, the contribution lifts and escalators can make is coming into sharper focus. The speakers spoke about the broader context of energy efficiency in the built environment, picking up on topics such as total embodied carbon, operating energy and assessment methodologies, before focusing in on how the lift industry could (shouldn't) be responding, including an update and comment from Dr Gina Barney on recent work on relevant ISO Standards.
