Concepcion-Otis Philippines, Inc. (COPI), a joint venture between Otis and Concepcion Industrial Corporation (CIC), has come out with two environmentally beneficial products to address the demands of a growing smart city. The Gen2 Regen and The Skyrise elevators marry elegant design and global engineering expertise. Their compact design eliminates the need for a machine room, which saves construction costs. The sleek elevators also boasts an energy-saving feature that uses up to 70% less energy than traditional elevators. The Skyrise is Otis’ most advanced elevator that is available with various ranges of speeds, duties and rises to support the demands of any high-rise project. The double-deck configuration reduces the number of elevator space needed for the building, which increases rentable space by up to 40%. It has 50% less energy loss and 36% smaller foot print than conventional elevators. “We foresee an urbanized Philippines, and it looks like the nation is on the right track,” said Rajan Komarasu, head of Alstra, the commercial division of CIC. “Our role is to provide a means to make this mobility seamless, safe, and innovative.”
