Energy saving elevators
The power behind our eco-efficient solutions is the KONE EcoDisc® hoisting machine, which can save half or more of the energy consumed by an elevator. Our solutions not only save energy when the elevator is moving. We also provide solutions that reduce standby energy consumption when the elevator is standing still. Working together, these solutions can save as much as three quarters of the elevator’s total energy consumption. Over the lifetime of the equipment, the energy savings can amount to more than the original cost of the elevator.

Energy saving escalators
KONE is the first in the industry to offer an eco-efficient escalator, which combines a highly-efficient drive system with a compact drive to achieve new levels in energy-efficiency, space saving, reliability and aesthetics. A KONE escalator can also save energy when there are no
passengers on board. By using standby speed and energy-efficient LED lights, you can cut the escalator’s energy consumption considerably. Many of our solutions are available as easy to install retrofit packages.
