This standard specifies:
a) generic tools for estimating energy consumption of escalators and moving walks.
b) a consistent method for energy performance classification of existing, modernised or new escalators and moving walks;
c) guidelines for reducing energy consumption of existing escalators and moving walks that can support building environmental and energy rating systems.
1.2 This standard considers the energy performance during the operational portion of the life cycle of escalators and moving walks. It covers also energy aspects of the ancillary equipment, such as:
a) lighting with the exception of comb plate lighting, step gap lighting and traffic light;
NOTE 1 to entry Comb plate lighting, step gap lighting and traffic light are considered as essential for the operation of the equipment and are therefore not defined as ancillary equipment.
