Commercial Design looks at the latest technological developments in the escalators and elevator industry

Scaling Up
Technological advancements have changed the way we design over the past 150 years. But, perhaps, none has had a greater impact than the invention of the passenger elevator. It’s been one of the critical aspects in rendering a distinctive skyline, marked with high rises and towers across many modern cities today. With the dearth of ground space, buildings are inevitably scaling the skies to unimaginable heights. As a direct consequence, the escalator and elevator industry has grown tremendously. As buildings are now responding to energy efficiency standards and requirements, this industry too is stepping up a notch to go ‘green’.

Sebi Joseph, president of Otis India, says, “As urbanisation drives the increased need for infrastructure and buildings, the elevator industry plays an important role in supporting that growth. It will fuel the need for smart and efficient technologies to support urban growth.” With this commitment to energy efficiency, the industry is innovating and rethinking its technological inputs that increase the life, efficiency, safety and reliability of elevators and escalators.
