Elevator specification in three simple steps
Specifying the optimal elevator solution for your needs takes just three simple steps:

1 Specify your elevator based on the expected People Flow™ and size of your building.

Choose a car design to suit your building interior from our professionally designed
2 interiors or create a custom look and feel by choosing from the wide selection of
materials in the KONE Design Collection.

3 Select additional options together with your sales representative to further enhance
your elevator solution.

 Taking eco-efficiency
to new heights
Save energy, save costs. It is a simple calculation
with impressive results. KONE MiniSpace™ elevators,
powered by the KONE EcoDisc® hoisting motor,
consume less energy than other gearless elevators.
KONE EcoDisc® also results in lower thermal losses
than traditional machines, bringing direct savings
in terms of cooling and ventilation costs.

A more efficient hoisting motor is not the only

way to reduce the total energy consumption of
an elevator. KONE has analyzed every function
and option in order to squeeze the total energy
consumption.

A green hoisting system
The KONE EcoDisc® hoisting machine made
DC gearless and energy-hungry geared
hoisting machines obsolete. The KONE EcoDisc
permanent magnet synchronous machine,
together with a vector-controlled drive system
and energy regeneration options, provides the
highest total efficiency and minimizes both
mechanical and electrical losses.

Regenerative drive
When the car is descending with a heavy load
(or ascending with a light load), it contains
potential energy. The regenerative drive
recovers this energy, saving up to 30% of the
total energy consumed by a typical 13-person
KONE elevator.

Further energy savings with standby mode

Lights, signalization, and ventilation can consume
a considerable amount of energy even when the
elevator is not moving. In a residential elevator with
a low usage rate, this can represent a considerable
portion of yearly energy costs. KONE offers the
following options to minimize energy consumption:

1. Automatic car light operation turns off the lights

automatically when the car is not in use and on
again when the car is called.

2. Corridor illumination control automatically controls

the light on the destination floor.

3. The power stage of the drive is set to sleep mode

when not in use.

4. Signalization displays are dimmed when not in use.

5. The car fan is turned off when the elevator is not

in use.

Eco-efficient car lighting

Surprisingly, the car lighting can account
for up to 40% (1100 kWh) of an elevator’s
energy consumption. Halogen spots have been
replaced with eco-efficient, long-lasting LED
and modern fluorescent lighting technology.
The lights are optimized for maximum
efficiency and natural color saturation.
LED lights last up to 10 times longer than
traditional halogen bulbs and use up to 80%
less energy.

Intelligent features
that improve
your building’s
People Flow ™

KONE helps you to deliver smarter People

Flow in your building. Our solutions optimize
your elevator traffic while our systems
monitor equipment in real time.

Intelligent group controls that learn

KONE’s group control solutions are the best in the
industry. PC-based group controls increase handling
capacity during peak times and save energy when
traffic is light. Artificial intelligence detects call
and passenger information over a period of time,
anticipates traffic, and adapts elevator operations
accordingly.

KONE Polaris™ DCS – taking elevator group

performance to a new level
The KONE Polaris Destination Control System (DCS)
can improve the handling capacity of the elevator
group during peak times without extending the
waiting times during quieter periods. The KONE
Polaris series contains new solutions that enable
easier access and simpler usage, with access control
solutions such as PIN codes and access cards.

The KONE E-Link™ monitoring solution

KONE E-Link provides an accurate view of the
transportation status, demand, performance, and
availability of elevators and escalators in the building.
This helps you ensure that the equipment delivers
the best possible performance at all times. KONE
E-Link has an open interface to allow integration
with other facility management systems.

 Easy installation and flexible
maintenance solutions
KONE’s modern installation methods ensure that elevator installation is safe, fast and cost-
efficient. After installation our network of service technicians ensure that the elevator will
continue performing optimally for years to come.

Innovation through installation Excellence in service around the clock

Save time with Construction Time Use
elevators
KONE’s Construction Time Use elevators (CTUs) enable
safer, more weatherproof, and faster transportation
of people and goods on building sites during the
construction phase compared with an exterior hoist.
After completion of your project, KONE CTU elevators
are quickly converted into the building’s permanent
elevators.
