When we talk about improving building performance, reliability and accessibility, lifts don’t always get much attention despite being among the most heavily used systems in many buildings.
As Britain’s cities continue to evolve, investment in existing infrastructure must keep pace. Many lifts installed decades ago are still operating today, but the demands placed on them are often very different from when they were first fitted. That is why modernisation is becoming an important topic.
Targeted partial modernisation with KONE, where only the components that need attention are upgraded, can improve reliability, extend the life of a lift and create a better experience for the people moving through buildings every day. It also makes older lifts digitally connected, helping improve uptime and keep people moving.
For me, one of the most interesting aspects of modernisation is that it can support both operational and sustainability objectives. By upgrading existing assets, building owners can improve reliability and performance so buildings can meet changing requirements for years to come. KONE’s modernisation projects can also retain up to 88% of existing materials and deliver lift energy savings of up to 70% compared with older equipment.
Here’s how lift modernisation can help buildings become more efficient and future-ready: https://lnkd.in/ekJa_Pff
