Efficiency throughout the product life cycle

Energy efficiency and sustainability are part of TK Elevator’s DNA. This involves the constant and holistic improvement of our products and processes to help you reduce the environmental footprint of your building.

With synergy 200 as part of your project, you’re best prepared to qualify for LEED®, BREEAM® or DGNB certification. At the same time we walk the talk, for example by operating our European manufacturing facilities in Germany and Spain on 100% renewable energy.

In 2024, TK Elevator topped the Sustainalytics global ESG risk rating with the best result among over 500 companies in the machinery industry category and was recognised in the acclaimed climate change A-list published by the global non-profit organisation CDP.

An A-rated elevator from an A-list manufacturer

synergy 200 with sleep mode achieves the highest energy efficiency rating Class A, according to ISO 25745-2. The low energy consumption reduces the carbon footprint of the elevator during operation and consequently its share of the overall energy consumption of the building.

This has been proven by synergy’s product life cycle assessment (LCA). We carry out LCAs to achieve continuous improvements and minimise the environmental impact of our products.

synergy 200 also has a certified Environmental Product Declaration giving information about the environmental performance and contents, which has been controlled and verified according to the requirements of the International EPD® System. Registration number: S-P-02767. 

Highest efficiency rating

Based on a 630 kg elevator at 1 m/s with 12 m travel height and usage category 1, synergy 200 achieves the highest energy efficiency rating Class A, according to ISO 25745-2. The results of synergy’s life cycle assessment shows that during 25 years of usage, less than one third of the carbon footprint occurs during operation.

From standby to sleep mode

synergy 200 comes with a basic standby functionality that includes automatic light switch-off. The optional sleep mode turns off electronic components throughout the system when the elevator is idle, increasing energy savings dramatically by up to 45%.

LED in all lighting devices

All of synergy 200’s lighting devices in the shaft, cabin (ceilings, push-buttons, etc.) and landings are LED-equipped. LED lighting can last 10 times longer and is up to 80% more energy efficient than halogen lighting.

Regenerative drive

The optional regenerative drive is a smart system that recoups electricity when the cabin is moving downwards fully loaded, or is empty going upwards. Under optimum technical conditions, power is generated in both situations by the elevator and fed back into the building grid.
