Hello friends-
I am using lift in my daily routine, minimum 20 times / day. one day i thought if i reduce the number of lift use, i can save more energy for my nation. I had also gone through various resources about Lift and their use-- http://www.lift-report.de/index.php/news/464/56/Lifts-Energy-Consumption-Study from 2010. It is suggestive of Lifts energy consumption typically represents 3 to 8 % of the total energy consumption of buildings, depending on the structure and usage of the building, the type and number of lifts. Although the amount is relatively small for an individual building, the aggregate is large taking into account the 8.5 million lifts in operation worldwide. This study describes the work has been done by the lift industry worldwide in terms of bibliography, papers, standardization, etc and also focuses on the energy measurements in the most common lift types.
In the same way I observed that false calling of lift in many developing countries. For ex if a person wish to travel to 10th floor and he is on 6th floor of building, which arrow he should use ? He is unaware of this , so he uses both arrows. This causes to lift go in both direction. Once he get in lift, he calls 10th floor. so lift goes to 10th floor. And then lift came down to 6th floor because Lift got an order for downward movement also. So waste of energy at this place. And listen my friends , it happen to literate people only. Due to lack of knowledge of Lift calling or false information they got. Then how to tackle with this problem and save energy ?
A above picture will be beneficial to false calling. what we need to do. I was discussing with My friends , one of them suggested that-Dr.Chetan Pophale --we should give inside lift calling panel to outside of lift , and everyone should press only the floor which they want to go. Can be this a option ?
And one thing i want to put forth in front of you that, Lift's are used in Apartment's , Offices , Hotel's and many other places which are run for Upper economic class and upper middle economic class. Lower economic class and lower middle economic class most of these people are unaware of Lift and their use. One thing i could add that we should add some basic's of life subject in school. which doesn't carry pass or fail stamp, and it should be taught practically once a week.
As I work in hospital, I had seen many of the peoples are relatives , which had a target in front of their eye's or a task to accomplish them. In such situation they tend to false calling of lift. If we are able to provide a security Guard to instruct them , then we can save some amount of energy.
I appeal to engineering friends, to uplift this is issue and make some innovative that will help entire country and humanity.
