\u201cThis is a game-changing technology bringing remarkable value to our customers through energy savings, lower carbon emissions, increased design freedom and a simplified construction process,\u201d Delorme explains.<\/p>\n

Supporting infrastructure modernization<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to providing advanced technologies for new developments, KONE is actively engaged in supporting GCC\u2019s growing infrastructure investments through tailored modernization solutions. With its deep understanding of building lifecycles and evolving urban needs, KONE offers modernization services designed to extend the life, efficiency, and safety of existing buildings across the region.<\/p>\n

Modernization also helps buildings become digitally connected. By leveraging data analytics, faults can be predicted and addressed promptly, reducing downtime and optimizing maintenance schedules.<\/p>\n

\u201cConnected elevators and escalators and their data play a key role. By modernizing ageing elevators, which typically represent 2-10% of a building\u2019s energy use, KONE can reduce elevator-related energy consumption by up to 70%,\u201d Delorme explains.<\/p>\n

The connected devices thereby can not only improve elevator performance but also reduce the need for unnecessary technician visits, resulting in reduced emissions from travel and improved overall efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo simplify: with our help, buildings and cities will become more sustainable and also easier for people to get around, even as the population increases,\u201d Delorme sums up.<\/p>\n
