Yes. KONE offers People Flow Planning and Consulting from the earliest stages of a project — helping architects, developers, and contractors optimise building layouts, shaft placement, elevator group sizing, and people flow before construction begins. Early involvement helps avoid costly design changes later and ensures the building performs efficiently from day one.
No. KONE offers a comprehensive range of people flow solutions for new buildings — passenger and goods elevators, escalators, moving walkways, automatic building doors, and advanced People Flow solutions including destination control systems and access management. KONE also provides construction-time elevator solutions such as KONE JumpLift to keep projects on schedule during the build phase.
KONE elevators and escalators are designed for high energy efficiency as standard. All KONE DX Class elevators feature a high-efficiency regenerative drive system that recovers braking energy and feeds it back into the building's power grid, reducing net energy consumption significantly. KONE escalators include KONE EcoMod technology, which automatically reduces speed or stops when not in use. KONE's manufacturing is powered by 100% renewable electricity across all carbon-neutral manufacturing units, and KONE solutions support green building certifications including LEED and BREEAM.
Yes. KONE offers open APIs that allow elevators and escalators to integrate with a wide range of smart building platforms — including building management systems, access control, destination control, and automated logistics solutions such as delivery robots. KONE's DX Class connected elevators provide real-time performance data and enable digital services through KONE 24/7 Connected Services, supporting proactive maintenance, remote monitoring, and continuous optimisation of people flow throughout the building's lifecycle.
