Otis Energy Expense Calculator is an application to help you calculate the electric energy expense of your Otis elevator, according to your building and elevator conditions.

The result of the energy expense calculation is APPROXIMATED and is based on the following considerations:

1) Residential Building:
- Each user performs 2 runs per day (up and down);
- Each run, as a rule, corresponds to half of the elevator's total rise;
- Each floor, as a rule, is 3 m. high;
- In part of the runs, the elevator does not spend energy

2) Office Building:
- Each user performs 6 runs per day;
- Each run, as a rule, corresponds to half of the elevator's total rise;
- Each floor, as a rule, is 3 m. high;
- In part of the runs, the elevator does not spend energy;
- This calculation is valid only for elevators in office buildings. It is NOT applicable for shopping centers / malls

3) General considerations:
- Calculation is valid only for OTIS elevators;
- The result of the energy expense calculation is function of the number of runs performed by the users
