Clean Space

Distancing through occupation control

One of the best ways to fight the spread of bacteria and viruses is to control the occupancy of closed spaces. Schindler CleanSpace adjusts the maximum load capacity in elevators to limit the number of passengers in the cars. This ensures that people can follow safety and social distancing guidelines correctly, and feel comfortable and secure in public spaces.

How does it work?

With Schindler CleanSpace, the load measurement system’s full load can be adjusted to the desired capacity so that the maximum occupancy for the elevator is in line with social distancing guidelines. The typical setting for an elevator is usually around 90%, but to encourage proper social distancing, it can be reduced to 50%. When the adjusted capacity is reached, the elevator will not stop for a registered floor call to collect additional passengers. Once the passengers have left the cabin at their selected destination, the lift will automatically serve the remaining floor calls.
