But in the new Heathrow T5 there isnt one! choose from a lift or an escalator or setting off an alarm or risking life and limb on the car park ramps.

How much is it costing in electricity to run there escalators? Many seem to be running 24/7 but not getting used????? or virtually not used.

Is it true that as many people go up as come down so net energy use should be only frictional losses only with good design management.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31029#Comment_31029 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31029#Comment_31029 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:42:29 +0100 mike7 ]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31030#Comment_31030 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31030#Comment_31030 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 21:08:29 +0100 tony https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31038#Comment_31038 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31038#Comment_31038 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:01:11 +0100 TheDoctor
there is an energy cost in making a down escalator run (with or without people) and an energy cost (allbeit greater) in running an up escalator, so no trade off.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31041#Comment_31041 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31041#Comment_31041 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:06:00 +0100 joe.e https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31045#Comment_31045 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31045#Comment_31045 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:23:15 +0100 StuartB https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31111#Comment_31111 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31111#Comment_31111 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 08:38:38 +0100 tony https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31211#Comment_31211 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2418&Focus=31211#Comment_31211 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:44:54 +0100 agu
