Elevator during the winter storm season

EM - Elevators are no longer unfamiliar to residents and have become an "irreplaceable" component in many urban architectural projects. This is especially true for large-scale and high-rise civil constructions such as high-rise apartment buildings and commercial centers... However, practical data assessing the impact of recent major storms has revealed risks that need to be addressed for elevator systems during extreme weather events.
Blocking the elevator door 'in an unusual manner': A warning about user awareness

Hospital elevator design handbook: Classifying elevators based on purpose

EM – With their extremely diverse range of visitors, healthcare centers and hospitals require many types of specialized elevators, each designed for different specific purposes.
Hospital elevator design handbook: Size and capacity requirements for hospital firefighters lifts and evacuation lifts

EM – For hospital firefighters’ lifts intended for evacuation in case of emergency, it is necessary to consider choosing an elevator capable of evacuating patients on ICU beds with accompanying medical equipment and staff.
How can lightning affect your home elevator?

EM – From 3:00 PM to 5:45 PM on July 30, 2025, Northern Vietnam recorded 81,486 lightning strikes, of which 14,529 were cloud-to-ground strikes. What potential issues could arise for elevators during such extreme weather conditions?

EM - Over time, technical studies, practical experience, and tragic incidents have demonstrated that elevator shaft vent openings do not deliver the intended effectiveness. On the contrary, they often pose critical life safety issues in the event of a fire.
Part 1: Re-evaluating the ventilation of elevator shaft

EM - Elevator and building standards, along with longstanding design conventions, have traditionally required the installation of a ventilation opening at the top of the elevator shaft. However, this requirement has recently been re-evaluated and determined to be inappropriate and largely ineffective.
Part 2: Airflow movement within the elevator shaft

EM - When ventilation openings are installed in the elevator shaft, they accelerate the movement of convective airflow between the interior and exterior of the building, thereby intensifying the stack effect and exerting a greater impact on the elevator’s operation.
