Hi all,

Wondered if anyone here has had any experience of cooling lift shafts and the cabs?

A client of ours says they are becoming very hot whilst travelling, the building is glass so therefore having solar gains more so in the hot weather.

I have to walk around site yet to get further details.

Possibly thought about mounting a small unit directly on top of the cab to supply cooled air into the cab.

For the shaft, I was going to look to introduce chilled air at the bottom of the shaft (if possible with a fire damper) and an extraction fan on the roof to reject. Hoping the cool air would push up the hot air rejecting it through the fan with the cold air rising to the hot air.

There are 9 floors in total, 4 basement levels and 5 above.


Any help and ideas would be fully appreciated.
