The elevator system has the ability to learn tenant traffic patterns and adapt to better serve tenants. The elevators also employ a “green” regenerative drive system that capture the energy of tenants traveling in the down direction and regenerate this energy as electricity usable by other systems in the building, such as air conditioning. All elevators have the ability to double as freight elevator when required, and two of the elevators serve the parking garage levels. |
