How Energy Efficient is Your Lift?
Bangkok – Sustainable management favorably affects your business results and a big part of sustainable management is ensuring your business assets are performing at their most energy efficient state. TÜV SÜD’s experts can help local Thai businesses ensure the energy efficiency and cost optimization of their lift systems, demonstrate their support of resource-efficient management and also make a sustainable contribution to safeguarding the future of our environment.
As of today, Guideline VDI 4707 Part 1 is used in the industry to assess and identify the energy performance of lift systems. It is a guideline which offers manufacturers, owners and operators to have the energy-efficiency classes of their lift systems determined on the basis of standardized criteria. The certificate also offers reliable guidance lift owners, operators, purchasers, developers, architects and planners when it comes to assessing the energy demand of their systems.
“TÜV SÜD’s experts can assist local Thai businesses to assess the energy demand of their lifts correctly, revealing opportunity for energy saving and permitting cost reductions. At the end of the certification process, a report outlining opportunities for energy saving offered by customers’ lift systems will be issued by TÜV SÜD. Upon successful testing, customers will receive a certificate documenting the energy efficiency of their lifts. With that information, they can optimize the costs and energy input of their lift operations and demonstrate their support for resource-efficient management. They will also be known by industry peers and customers to have made a sustainable contribution towards safe-guarding the future of our environment and generate a competitive edge,” said Mr. Sean Boey, General Manager, TÜV SÜD PSB Thailand.
“For lift manufacturers, guideline VDI 4707 Part 1 proves to be an incentive to develop innovative, efficient solutions. By obtaining the certificate, local Thai businesses can secure competitive edge and provide genuine guidance to buyers, developers, architects, planners, designers and lift owners,” said Mr. Melzer Siegfried Hermann, Deputy Head of Certification Body and Manager, Inspection Certification International, TÜV SÜD Germany Industrie Service. “TÜV SÜD experts will measure energy consumption of your lift systems under real-life conditions, calculate specific energy demand of lifts and issue lift energy certificate as per VDI 4707 Part I. Other than that, we can also help local Thai businesses detect possible weaknesses of their lift systems, develop packages of measures to boost their lifts’ energy efficiency and assess various energy-saving measures under functional and cost-efficiency aspects.”
TÜV SÜD PSB Thailand has also held a seminar on lift system energy efficiency and safety at the Jasmine City Hotel, Bangkok on 9th September August 2011.
