ABSTRACT
The energy performance and operational characteristics of the passenger lift investigated in this study were based on energy consumption data registered throughout the normal duty cycle. An overview is provided of available methods employed to evaluate the energy uptake of passenger lifts, relying mostly on energy consumption measurements taken on a real object over an idealised reference duty cycle. Measurement data were used to determine the energy efficiency rating of the lift during the trip cycle and in the standby mode and the energy demand levels, which are then to be compared with measurement results obtained under the service conditions.
