Elevolt: a self-powered, self-harvesting, passenger lift for usage in the vertical transportation of passengers in all buildings

2021年12月2日：本PCR中拟议的项目范围变更不会导致对原始项目公开描述的任何更改。居住在城市的人比以往任何时候都多。它们带来经济增长的潜力导致英国越来越多的政治关注城市环境。与其他类型的住宅相比，每栋高层住宅安装节能措施的成本要低得多，而且大规模资助改造措施已被证明是能源公司实现2050年零排放目标的一种经济有效的方式。在办公大楼或公寓楼内，电力成本最高的项目之一是电梯。降低这一成本将使业主大大减少他们的碳足迹和能源成本。客用升降机的特性使其自身具有很高的功耗和低效的热/机械传递损失。电梯占建筑能耗的10%。目前还没有一种可持续的技术来降低客运电梯的巨大能耗。EleVolt将在这个为期9个月的开发项目中开发出第一个真正可持续的电梯

02/12/2021: The proposed project scope changes within this PCR will not result in any changes to the original project public description. More people than ever before live in cities. Their potential to deliver economic growth has led to a growing political focus on urban environments in the UK. The cost of installing energy efficiency measures is far lower per property for high rise blocks than other types of housing, and funding retrofit measures on a large scale has proven to be a cost-effective way for energy companies to meet 2050 zero emission targets. One of the highest cost outlays for power within an office/apartment block is passenger lifts. Reducing this cost will allow the owner to drastically reduce their carbon footprint and energy cost.The nature of passenger lifts lend themselves to very high power consumption and inefficient heat/mechanical transfer loss. Elevators account for up to 10% of a building's energy consumption. At present there does not exist a sustainable technology to reduce the large energy consumption of passenger lifts. EleVolt will seek to develop the first truly sustainable lift through this 9-month development project
