Elevator designing proposal

The New Elevator for The Peralta Building

Looking to design a new elevator for the Peralta building. will design a functional prototype will contain explanations on what we need to design this elevator.

The current elevator in the PRLTA building is a hydraulic elevator, it was installed in 2008 by ThyssenKrupp with traditional fixtures.

The elevator I’m proposing will be faster, will make less noise and will use less energy. It will be a geared elevator that will cost 0.12 per Kilowatt Hour and it will be a Variable Voltage Variable Frequency (VVVF) driver “which use an AC hoist motor rather than a DC hoist motor. The VVVF provides smooth acceleration and deceleration, excellent speed control and reduced noise levels.” (thyssenkrupp)

It will have a capacity of 3500 lbs. and its speed will be 700 fpm. It will also have an auto light shut-off system and an auto exhaust shut-ff system that’ll save energy.
