Join us for an engaging evening where we will explore the history of elevator technology and provide a deep dive into the latest innovations in the field. This session will help architects and designers differentiate between various elevator technologies—hydraulic, machine room-less (MRL), and overhead traction—offering a clear understanding of the benefits and limitations of each.
Special attention will be given to the machine room-less (MRL) elevator, a cutting-edge solution that removes the need for a traditional machine room, allowing for greater design flexibility, maximizing leasable floor space, and reducing construction costs. These elevators are not only energy-efficient, using only one-third of the energy required by hydraulic systems, but they also contribute to LEED credits and avoid the environmental impact of drilling a cylinder hole that could result in oil contamination.
Beyond learning about these technologies, you'll have the chance to network with key industry vendors. Connect with experts in elevator systems and other building solutions who can provide valuable insights and products for your upcoming projects. This is a great opportunity to discuss how to plan and integrate elevator systems into your designs for optimal space, safety, and sustainability.
Learning Objectives:
Elevator History & Technology: Differentiate between hydraulic, machine room-less, and overhead traction elevators, while updating your knowledge of the latest elevator technology.
Traffic Planning: Understand how to effectively plan for elevator placement and traffic flow in your buildings.
How Big Is That Cab?: Gain insights into specifying the right size and shape of elevator cabs for your projects.
Building Integration: Learn how to integrate elevators seamlessly into your building designs, ensuring a smooth installation process.
Whether you’re designing for residential, commercial, or mixed-use projects, this presentation will equip you with the tools and knowledge needed to incorporate efficient, sustainable elevator solutions into your designs. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn, connect, and expand your network with industry-leading vendors.
