Sustainable Elevator Architecture

Sustainability isn’t
marketing jargon.
It is what drives
our design efforts.

Design at Sierra doesn’t stop with engineering and aesthetics. We go a step further to ensure that our elevators leave a minimal impact on the environment as well. From oil-free traction drives to minimal lubrication-intensive maintenance feature to auto power saving modes when the elevator is not in use, Sierra Elevators leave a minimal carbon footprint on the environment.

Highly energy efficient LED lighting systems that avoid Mercury and Lead ensure that the environment doesn’t bear the brunt of harmful emissions. What’s more, as part of our future research and development efforts, we also aim to launch a new technology - Regenerative drives and Hybrid systems that will reduce energy consumption by as much as 50%. 

Our sustainability efforts

[01]   Oil-free traction drives

New generation Gearless machines do not require lubrication oil unlike traditional Geared Traction machine

[02]   Minimum lubrication-intensive
           maintenance

Sierra Elevators incorporate the minimum lubrication-intensive maintenance system -  only SLIDE lubrication for its rails.

[03]   Auto Power saving modes

When elevator is not in use, the technology behind cuts off supply to fan and light, thereby saving power automatically.

[04]   LED lighting systems

All the cars from Sierra Elevators are designed with energy efficient and attractive LED lighting systems.

[05]   Energy efficient Variable Voltage and
          Variable Frequency Drives (VVVF)

Thanks to these drives, Sierra Elevators experience reduced heating of the machines, consume 35%-40% lesser power, experience smooth,  jerk-less start/stop and demonstrate accurate leveling irrespective of load in the cars.
