1 Designing of the lift system for proposed high rise building

5.1.1Lift system for office floors

Lift system for office floors will serve only peoples that use offices for there works and also each and every floor up to first office floor. Therefore people that in basements, ground floors can access to the lift system. Usable floor area of office floor 1500 . There are six office floors, three basements, ground floor and two shopping complex floors. Floor to floor height of the office floors is 3.8m, for basements it is 3.6m and for ground floor and shopping complex floors it is 4m. Zoning is not needed for this situation.

5.1.2 Lift system for apartments We use twine lift system for zone 1 and zone 3 we can achieve lots of benefits by using this method Through the omission of elevator shaft we can save construction volume and save rentable floor area. Using the twine lift system we can get more handling capacity with same number of elevator shafts or with same handling capacity with few elevator shafts.

5.1.2.1 Zone 1 Zone 1 is serving people that in basements, ground floor and shopping complex to arrive apartments.

5.1.3 Express lift Express lift serves peoples in three basements and ground floor to reach all the floors except shopping complex floors. It minimizes the delay when using local lifts. We use a smaller size lift as express lift. And also it works as a fire lift in an emergency. In our case we use car size 12 as express lift

5.1.4 Sustainable design for the elevator Sustainable design of the elevator systems is influenced by the sophistication of the elevator control and the quality of the power conversion unit selected. Sophisticated destination control selection systems provide further optimization by providing the ability for a person to register the destination floor from a terminal in the lift lobby prior to boarding the elevator. This information is then communicated to the elevator control system, which instantly assigns each persons destination to a particular lift car. Persons arriving in the lobby are grouped together to minimize the number of stops that each lift must make during any given trip. The result is that more people can be handled with fewer stops during the morning uppeak traffic condition during any given time period. In addition, special control features that allow lifts to operate at higher speeds during off-peak traffic periods are becoming available. This utilizes fewer lifts. Controls are also available that allow regenerative power to be temporarily stored and transferred to other lifts in the group during emergency standby power conditions, thereby providing additional lift capacity for use by fire-fighters or building evacuation.
