What happens when elevators do more than move people between floors? 💡

At Warsaw Trade Tower, digitally connected elevators help optimize the energy consumption of the building’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems through real-time building occupancy analysis.

"Now we can run the building more effectively, based on real demand. If teams work specific hours, conditions adjust automatically – maximizing comfort with demand responsive ventilation while saving energy, costs and also cutting carbon. We stopped looking at the elevator as just a means of vertical transport. Today, they are an important part of our Building Management System," explains Teodor Teter, Digital Transformation Manager at Globalworth Poland.

Thank you Globalworth Poland for great collaboration and shared vision of what a smart, sustainable building can be. 🙏
