KONE, an innovative leader in the elevator and escalator industry, is the first company to announce the A-class energy efficiency certification according to ISO 25745-2 for its volume elevators, according to the final draft of the standard (ISO/FDIS 25745-2: 2014). The measurements have been conducted in customer reference locations, and the certifications have been granted by an external third party.

ISO 25745-2 is a new global standard for the energy calculation and classification of elevators to be published in early 2015. It will eventually supersede current national and regional standards and guidelines. The A-class rating is the best one that can be given under the new standard.

"We are extremely proud to be the first company in the elevator industry to announce ISO A-class certified volume elevator customer references", says Heikki Leppänen, Executive Vice President, New Equipment Business, KONE Corporation. "KONE is a pioneer in eco-efficiency, and this achievement is the result of our continuous efforts in improving the energy efficiency of our solutions."

KONE has a long history in making its volume elevators more energy efficient. This has been achieved by using innovative and eco-efficient technologies, such as regenerative drives, standby solutions and LED lighting that drastically reduces the energy consumption of the elevators. Compared to KONE elevators from the 1990s, KONE's current machine-room-less volume elevator KONE MonoSpace 500 is almost 90% more energy efficient.
