Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corporation is working to reduce environmental impacts and to balance safety, security, and comfort to contribute to achieving the SDGs through its business activities. Recently, the company began selling Toshiba’s SPACEL machine-room-less elevator.
This product’s features include a new control system and the use of regenerative power as well as full utilization of LED lighting and improved elevator system efficiency, which together have enabled us to reduce power consumption by up to 50% compared to conventional products. In addition, as the first in the industry to adopt a “roller guide” for a standard elevator, resources are conserved by eliminating the need to lubricate the guide rail. This product received the Good Design Award 2022 under the comprehensive design recommendation system organized by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion.
