CONSTRUCTION energy generated by lift to the building power grid , permanent magnet motors , gearless drives and energy-saving modes on escalators including automatic start and stop control or automatic two-speed control — varies the escalator speed according to the passenger flow ,” said Foster . “ These modes are enabled by the presence or absence of passengers ; hence energy can be saved during non-peak hours .”
Looking ahead As space becomes even more of a premium in South East Asia , and in particular Singapore , the need for efficient dispatching of passengers will become even more necessary .
“ Destination-control systems in commercial buildings will become standard and over the next five years ,” said Foster . “ In addition , as the demand for greener buildings increases and the environment is ever more in the public eye , the need for energy-efficient mobility systems will be paramount . Furthermore , the emergence of digital technology as a business tool to improve efficiency and deliver on increasing customer satisfaction will play a key part in the industry dynamics .”
“ Schindler sits in a strong position and has been a pioneer in both fields and is poised to take advantage of these evolutions ,” concluded Foster .
