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

2021年2月12日：本项目组合框架内的拟议项目范围更改不会导致对原始项目公开说明的任何更改。比以往任何时候都更多的人居住在城市。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。与其他类型的住房相比，高层建筑安装能效措施的成本要低得多，而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具有成本效益的方式。写字楼/公寓楼内的电力成本最高的支出之一是乘客电梯。降低这一成本将使所有者能够大幅减少碳足迹和能源成本。客运电梯的性质使其本身具有非常高的能耗和低效的热/机械传递损失。电梯占一栋建筑能耗的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将通过这个为期9个月的开发项目，寻求开发第一个真正可持续的电梯
