“Carbon Footprint study of the life cycle of Planet,
a lift by Gruppo Millepiani”
This project has been co-funded by the
Italian Ministery of the Environment, Land and Sea
Emissions are calculated based on 2012 activity data:

Carbon Footprint
Greenhouse gas emissions, in terms of CO2equivalents (CO2e), have been
quantified for the whole life cycle: from raw materials extraction to the lifts end
of life, throughout on-site installation and the use phase (estimated to be 25
years long).
Standards used for the Carbon Footprint quantification:
•
ISO/TS 14067 (Carbon Footprint of Products)
•
UNI EN ISO 14044 (Life Cycle Assessment).
E
Planets characteristics:
High energy efficiency (the product system under study reaches a Class A)
Made of 98% recyclable materials
Powered by a high efficiency, gearless, permanent magnet motor
Machine roomless
The Carbon Footprint has been quantified on the following assumptions
(REPRESENTING THE LIFT CONFIGURATION MOSTLY MANUFACTURED AND SOLD BY
GRUPPO MILLEPIANI)
•
CAPACITY:
480 kg - 6 persons
•
STOPS:
4 (RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH 3 FLOORS, EACH SUB-DIVIDED INTO 2 FLATS)
•
SPEED:
1 m/s
•
TRAVEL:
9m
• cw BALANCE:

Responsibility
Measuring a products Carbon Footprint shows transparency and a responsible
behaviour towards all stakeholders. Most importantly, it is a useful means to identify
potential inefficiencies throughout the products life cycle. It is therefore the starting
point to implement initiatives aimed at adopting best practice and improving
sustainable consumption, of energy and any other resources.
Initiatives identified to improve energy efficiency
and reduce GHG emissions
• LED lighting:already implemented
• Shortening of distance with suppliers (zero km):already implemented
• Installation of regenerative inverter (on order): 30% reduction of electricity
consumption during use phase; 15% reduction of life cycle Carbon Footprint.

Certification
Planets Carbon Footprint has undergone a Critical Review by IMQ
experts, and the environmental claim of Carbon Footprint has been
IMQeco certified (www.imq.it).
