Power Efficiency has proven that E-Save Technology® typically saves 20-40% of the energy used by escalators and MG-Set Elevators. Multiple third party tests and the installation of many units have shown significant energy saving results time and again.
Approximately 400,000 escalators were in operation worldwide in 2006 and there are 35,000 new escalators made each year. Escalators are used more than 90 billion times a year in the U.S. The amount of energy consumed by their continuous operation is the equivalent of powering 375,000 homes. The energy cost to the nation is around $260 million per year.
Escalators are an appropriate application for E-Save Technology as most environments with escalators will experience changing loads during operating hours.
Types of facilities in which escalators can be found include:
- Airports & Transit Systems
- Commercial Buildings – Shopping Malls, Office Buildings, Hotels, Hospitals & Universities
- Government Buildings
