ID credit for machine roomless elevators

Pamela, any energy efficiency from the elevator would be captured in EAp2/EAc1, so there would not be a rationale for an ID credit. 

You can achieve the ID credit but not for energy savings as noted by Tristan. You can however pursue the ID credit by pursuing the other environmental benefits such as no hydraulic fluid and savings on materials by having no machine room or elevator pit etc. Kone has been the only elevator vendor that has been able to provide the required documentation thus far. Thank you,

Donald, have you seen this successfully done? I typically advise project teams away from ID approaches that rely on a single technology.

Yes, with the noted vendor. I understand your point on a single source and I agree, but I felt they needed to know what they are getting themselves into. We just haven't been able to get the required documentation from other vendors. We are actually in the midst of trying it with a different vendor now and will see what happens because we received some documentation but not all that we asked for; we had asked for the same information we received from the successful vendor. We are therefore going to provide a narrative culling information from various sources to hopefully fill in the gaps. If there were other options for this project I wouldn't pursue this ID credit. Thank you,
