Developing sustainable buildings

We offer solutions and expertise that help you achieve green building credits and certifications that increase building value.

We are pleased to have received recognition for our environmental and social sustainability performance, including a leader score for Climate in CDP and a Gold medal in EcoVadis.

We have the widest range of ISO 25745 energy efficiency ratings for A class elevators and A+++ escalators.

Modernising your elevators can deliver energy savings of up to 70%, while modernising your escalator up to 50%. Our modernisation solutions range from retrofitting LED lights to installing a completely new elevator with energy-regeneration technology.

We're constantly working to improve the energy-efficiency of our products and services. Our current machine room-less elevator is up to 90% more efficient than our elevators from the 90's.

Switch to KONE EcoDisc hoisting machines for 50-70% more efficiency than elevators with conventional traction.

Benefit from up to 35% in energy savings by recovering energy from daily elevator use.

Reduce energy consumption by up to 80% with LED and eco-efficient fluorecent lighting.

We maximise escalator and elevator energy efficiency by powering down your equipment when it is not in use.

High-efficiency motors minimise energy consumption at full speed and a special KONE designed TransVario drive can even further reduce energy consumption and oil usage.

Lubrication-free step chain means no oil. This means a cleaner escalator and surrounding environment, reduced fire risk, simpler cleaning and easier maintenance.

KONE is committed to taking concrete steps towards greener equipment maintenance. That's why we're moving towards a low-emission service car fleet and using predictive maintenance to reduce unplanned maintenance visits. For KONE DX elevators we also compensate the remaining emissions caused by direct and indirect maintenance activities through a verified carbon offsetting program.
