Destination-dispatch technology has improved how buildings control elevators and optimized passenger mobility to achieve maximum energy efficiency. By grouping passengers with similar destinations, a significant number of benefits to the building owner and occupants are realized. This course discusses the key planning considerations for elevator projects and takes a look at the advantages of destination-dispatch elevators and how they provide solutions to the many challenges building owners and users face.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Discuss developments in elevator technology, with particular emphasis on controls and passenger safety.
  • Describe new destination-dispatching technology and relay how it is installed and implemented in both new construction and modernization projects.
  • List the energy-efficiency implications and other efficiency benefits of destination-dispatching.
  • Explain how destination-dispatching benefits users and building operations, citing case studies.
