<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=412345915-26082009>Hello everyone. Does
anyone know of any published literature or data on elevator usage by building
type? I'm looking into my elevator schedules and I'm wondering if LEED
(ASHRAE) has some definitive requirements that I haven't found or whether the
schedules are basically up to me.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=412345915-26082009>What are typical
energy usage ratios others have used for elevators in higher-education teaching
facilities? I'm finding that even just a 10% reduction in usage (ratio of
0.2 from 0.3) has a substantial decrease in overall building misc. energy
usage.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
