Why energy-efficient buildings?

Over 50 % of the primary energy requirement world wide is needed for air conditioning buildings. The continuing high oil price as well as generally rising energy costs are forcing operators and users to re-think.

Energy-efficient buildings are particularly attractive in terms of leasing. Permanent vents at the top of the lift shaft are a breach in the building's thermal insulation: As result of thermal effects (stack effect) the building's warm air is drawn through the joint of the shaft doors out of the corridors and rooms into the shaft and escapes outside unhindered through the opening at the top of the shaft.

Here you can calculate your loss of thermal energy

The LSC smoke exhaust system prevents unnecessary loss of energy as it avoids a permanent opening at the top of the shaft and thus eliminates the uncontrolled deairing of the building.

Controlled ventilation

High air flow speeds caused by thermal soaring in the shafts for example, are perceived as unpleasant. The prevention of the unhampered or uncontrolled rise of air in the shaft therefore ensures greater thermal comfort in the corridors or floors adjacent to the lift.

With LSC, the ventilation of the lift shaft can be individually controlled in line with the climatic conditions and the specific requirements of the building.
