1. Building the Eco-Friendly Elevator
One of the most critical components of any modern home accessory is that it is energy efficient. Saving energy with your home appliances is more than just an environmentally friendly behavior, it is a method of keeping your electric bill low and keeping your overall cost of living low. Every new accessory added to your home should follow a strict guideline dedicated to being as eco-friendly as possible.
In the past, residential elevators didn’t offer much in the way of choice. There were a few solutions available for a few different budgets, and almost all relied on the same set of basic technologies to get the job done. Traditional home elevators use massive amounts of energy and aren’t necessarily built with environmental standards in mind, but when there’s little choice as to what to do, the consumer is trapped in something of a bind.
Now, of course, things are different. Our vacuum elevators use revolutionary technology to provide energy efficient and environmentally friendly results. Here’s how:
Energy Consumption
Because our elevators rely on the manipulation of air pressure for lifting and lowering, they provide incredibly efficient performance. No electricity is used on the descent thanks to the elevator relying on gravity in lieu of machinery, and 220 volt turbines ensure minimal energy is used during ascent.
Maintenance
Our residential elevators use no pistons or cables, and thus require no oils or lubricants. Harmful materials are not needed to keep the elevator in top running condition. The main seal only requires a replacement every 15,000 lifts – we use materials and designs that last for years.
2. Construction
We use minimal materials to construct the elevator, and need very little to have it installed in a home. This results in fewer waste products generated by construction crews and our manufacturing process alike.
Overall, eco-friendly elevators are the best option for a home in need of a vertical mobility solution. They’re more affordable, safer, and more reliable than their traditional counterparts
