BREAKFAST & LEARN

Designing super tall buildings presents unique vertical transportation challenges that directly impact the performance, efficiency, and occupant experience of a project.
This seminar is designed specifically for architects who want to better understand how elevator strategy influences building design from the earliest planning stages. 

Through real-world insights and practical considerations, this session will explore how elevator systems affect core layout, rentable area, and overall building functionality
in super tall structures.

  • High Building Code Requirements: Key code requirements that impact elevator design in tall and super tall buildings.

  • Limitations of Travel and Speed: The practical limits of elevator travel height and speed, and how they affect building zone.  

  • Super Tall Elevator Strategies: Common systems such as sky lobbies, zoning, and destination dispatch used in very tall buildings. 
  • Super Tall Challenges: Sway mitigation, ride quality/piston effect, stack effect, and travel limitations.
