Notes for whoever has to specify. No product announcements: the decisions that are hard to reverse once the hoistway is poured.

01 Specification Machine room or machine-room-less: what the building actually gives up How the choice of system affects height, space efficiency, maintenance and the flexibility of the architectural design. 02 Traffic How many elevators a tower needs, and why the answer is not a rule of thumb The factors that really determine capacity: building use, occupancy profiles, waiting times and simulation criteria. 03 Energy Regeneration is not a feature, it is a change in the drive What energy regeneration really means, how it works and in which projects it makes a significant difference. 04 Safety Unintended movement, and the protection that assumes it will happen Systems and standards that anticipate failures, keep movement under control and protect users at all times. 05 Facades A facade is only finished when someone can reach it again Access and maintenance solutions that safeguard the building’s safety and its aesthetic continuity over time. 06 Design Finish codes: how a cabin is specified without a mood board Technical and aesthetic criteria for defining materials, finishes and configurations that fit the language of the project.
