public buildingsCompact size

In most public buildings,small or large, space isprecious. You need tolook for features that freeup space.

Attractive designs

Architects want tosmoothly integrateelevators and escalatorsinto their building designsand therefore look forattractive designs anddecorations that are easyto customize.

Reliability

"Out-of-order" meanscompromised safety andbottlenecks. You needdurable elevators andescalators, capable ofrunning 24 hours a day,7 days a week, indoorsand outdoors, in themost demandingenvironments.

Ensuring the vitality of public buildings

Every day all over the world, elevators, escalators and autowalks enable millionsof public buildings to function effectively and connect seamlessly to thesurrounding urban environment. They do this by ensuring the efficient flow ofpeople into them, through them and out of them. But what should you lookfor in an elevators, escalators and autowalks for a public building?

Fire prevention

Adherence to fireregulations is not enough.Features such as oil-freesystems that reduce therisk of fire starting in thefirst place are vital. This isa key requirement oncruise liners.

Maintainability

You need your equipmentto be professionallymaintained so that itdoesn’t break down inthe first place. Preventivemaintenance is the key.

Green, clean and quiet

Oil-free escalators areincreasingly beingspecified for publicbuildings. The absence ofoil makes them easier tokeep clean and attractive,and speeds up thecleaning process to reduceequipment downtime.

Silent operation is alsoimportant – in libraries forexample.

Safe and easy to use

An elevator should haveclear signalization andbuttons; an escalatorshould be well-lit andsignposted. Safety –especially for children andthe elderly – is paramount,as is wheelchair access.

Heavy-duty

Traffic flow is frequentlyheavy in public buildings.Just imagine a city centermetro station. Or a sportsstadium after a bigmatch! Yourtransportation equipmentshould be able tocomfortably handle trafficin peak periods and guidethem in the rightdirection.

elevatorsKONE elevators

The space-saving features of KONE elevators, combined with their attractive design packages and reliable, energy-efficient operation, have led to theirinstallation in public buildings throughout the world.

KONE MonoSpace platform A choice of platform

KONE elevators forpublic buildings arebased on either theKONE MonoSpace or theKONE MiniSpace®

platform. The choicedepends mainly on thesize of building and thepassenger flow (KONEMiniSpace is moresuitable for higherbuildings).

Reliable, highperformance

Both platforms offerreliable operation,outstanding trafficperformance and asmooth ride – the resultof low rotational speedsof the motor, and theV3F variable frequencydrive which preventscurrent peaks andensures excellentstopping accuracy.

The power you need

Both platforms are basedon the highly reliableKONE EcoDisc hoistinginvention, which offersexceptional power andperformance.

No oil and low energyusage

The low friction, gearlessconstruction of theKONE EcoDisc leads toextremely low levels ofwear and reduces energyconsumption to half thatof a similar gearedinstallation. In addition,KONE EcoDisc is moreefficient and compactthan traditional gearlessmachines. And no oil isrequired, reducing firerisk and environmentalpollution.

And attractive too!

Elevators based on bothplatforms offer aconsistent visual offeringand seamlessly integratein a variety of buildingsthanks to pre-engineeredor tailored car designsand alternative doorsystems, complementedby a broad selection oflanding and car fixturedesigns.

Exceptionally space-efficient

• The KONE MonoSpaceelevator platform needsno machine room at all!

• The KONE MiniSpaceelevator platform needsonly a small machineroom (located abovethe shaft and occupyingonly 40% of the spacerequired by machinerooms of conventionaltraction elevators).

Heavyweight deliveriesare no problem!

Certain KONE elevatorsare specially developedfor the transportation offreight in public buildings– even up to 4000 kgwith a machine-room-lesselevator!

Enjoy the view!

Scenic elevators addvalue to a public buildingin terms of beauty andelegance, and increasethe visibility ofpassengers and thesurroundings. KONEelevators are availablewith optional glass walls,while a fully customizablescenic car can beprovided to meet specificrequirements.

Innovative technology

KONE escalators andautowalks are based onKONE ECO3000technology, andcomprise the mosttechnologically advancedescalator components inthe business to give alifetime of reliableperformance.

Oil-free, highlyefficient drive

The KONE ECO3000Drive features a compact,chainless design thateliminates the need tolubricate and maintainthe drive chain found inconventional escalators.Its planetary gear is 96%efficient, reducing energyconsumption andenvironmental impact.An oil change isnecessary only every 6years – more than twice

autowalksescalatorsas long as traditionaldrive systems.

Chain is lubricatedfor life

The KONE ECO3000Chain has an innovativewater- and dust-resistantdesign. It is lubricated forlife, which avoidsdowntime, reduces therisk of fire, and protectsthe environment.

Intelligent controllerincreases availability

The fully digitalController can becombined with a KONEelevator monitoringsystem and the buildingmanagement system tooptimize escalatoravailability. Monitoringthose componentssubject to normal wearand tear, and applyingpreventive maintenance

programs, furtherincreases availability.

Attractive lighting

A well-lit escalator is asafer escalator –especially during night-time operation or inundergroundinstallations. It also addsto the building’sattractiveness andenhances passenger flow.Examples of KONEECO3000 lightingpossibilities include skirtspots; skirt continuouslighting; handraillighting; balustradelights; and inside trusslighting.

KONE escalators and autowalks

In addition to helping people move into and around public buildings, KONE escalators and autowalks play an important role as architectural elements.

An emphasis on safety

Safety features include 1-meter high balustrades(throughout the lengthof the escalator), 3-mmthick skirtings, a one-piece safety step, andbrushed skirt deflectorsto further minimize therisk of entrapment.Sprinklers reduce the riskof fire, while halogen-freeflame-retardant cablesavoid toxic emissions ifignited. Needless to say,KONE escalators complywith all relevant EN, BSand ANSI internationalcodes, as well as with theappropriate countrycodes.

ecologicalDesigned to be ecologically sound

KONE elevators and escalators embody KONE’s commitment to reuse and recycleas many products and components as possible, and are amongst the industry’smost environmentally sound transportation concepts.

Recent enhancements

• 97% of KONEMonoSpace materialsare now recyclable

• Energy consumptionduring manufacturing hasbeen reduced by 20%

• No harmful componentssuch as phthalates orisocyanates are used inKONE elevators andescalators

• Some wall panel andflooring laminates aremade with recyclablematerials

Energy-efficiency is aprime focus

The power consumptionof the KONE EcoDisc isonly half that ofcomparable conventionalsystems. Significant costsavings are also achievedby the use of lower dutyrisers and fuses, madepossible by a peakstarting current of just

30-40% of that ofequivalent traction units.Different operationmodes of KONEECO3000 escalators suchas load-dependentoperation, stand-byoperation and automaticstop-and-go alsoenhance energy-efficiency. The absenceof oil removes the risk ofsoil contamination andfire that are constantthreats in conventionalsystems.

Life Cycle Assessment

The environmentalimpact "from birth toretirement" of anelevator or escalator,including the totalenergy consumptionand the use of naturalresources, is fully takeninto account by usingvarious tools such asLife Cycle Assessment.

This is an objectiveevaluation of theenvironmental impact ofa product, from theextraction and selectionof raw materials to itsassembly, transportation,distribution, use and finalsafe disposal.

All materials arecarefully selected

Emphasis is placed onselecting recyclable,energy-friendly materials.Other importantdecisions are avoiding orreducing the use of paintor other highly pollutingprocesses; designingmore structure ratherthan using morematerial; and striving toreduce the total energyconsumption.
