Schindler MetaCore receives the Award of Excellence 2023 from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. The award is presented at the conference of the same name, where Schindler presents its new reprogrammable lift system. This year, the conference will be held in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur from 16 to 21 October. Schindler is a Platinum Sponsor of this event, titled Humanizing High Density – People, Nature & the Urban Realm, which is about socially responsible densification of urban housing.
MetaCore is an innovative solution for repurposing buildings. “When it comes to environmental compatibility, rapid market entry and investment costs, the conversion of existing buildings represents the most sustainable approach to urban development of the future,” Schindler explains in a media release. Architects, project developers and building owners can use the range of services, products and easily reprogrammable lift systems offered in this platform to develop solutions that seamlessly combine living, leisure and work in a single location, according to the statement.
By eliminating the need for demolition and new construction, it can also reduce the carbon footprint. “The biggest benefit is that we are taking the most sustainable approach to change by converting existing buildings,” Florian Trösch, Head of Transit Management & Digital Solutions at Schindler, is quoted as saying.
