　　需要电梯吗？搭上一台绿色的吧。
　　奥的斯电梯（otis）最新电梯系统Gen 2可以带你自由升降，较常规电梯节能75%。
　　20多万台奥的斯电梯已经遍布世界，其中包括洛杉矶国际机场和迪拜的哈里法塔（世界上最高建筑，2716英尺高）。
　　目前，奥的斯已经加快其高能效步伐，并于周二启动节能减排新计划。
　　“绿色之路”就是从电梯公司的生产工厂到它的回收过程，公司范围内努力绿化一切。
　　奥的斯和母公司联合技术公司的该计划与近些年来 UTC大力投资节能系统的计划十分吻合。
　　奥的斯与位于法明顿的世界总部和布里斯托尔的测试研究中心，都鼓励其供应商和消费者减少能耗。
　　“奥的斯一直致力于引领我们的工业朝着惠及子孙后代，保护地球的方向发展着。我们已经引进高能效产品并建立了两个可持续生产工厂，与此同时我们也在减少温室气体的排放。”奥的斯电梯总裁—Didier Michaud-Daniel，在一份书面声明中如此说到。
　　奥的斯也同样生产电动扶梯和自动人行道，他声称其新系统可以减少能耗多达60%。
　　奥的斯与UTC 承诺在未来的十年减少25%的能源消耗。奥的斯在世界范围内有6万员工，包括康涅狄格州的1000名工人。他声称从2006年到2010年已经在世界范围内减少了12%的温室气体。
 

Otis Elevator Launches Aggressive Plan To Reduce Carbon Footprint

Need a lift? Hop aboard a green elevator.

Otis Elevator's latest elevator system, the Gen2, can take you up or down using up to 75 percent less energy than a conventional lift.

More than 200,000 of the elevators have been installed around the world, including at the Los Angeles International Airport and Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building at 2,716 feet.

Now Otis has accelerated its quest for energy-efficiency with the launch Tuesday of a new program to reduce energy use and shrink its carbon footprint.

"The Way to Green," is a companywide effort to "green up" everything from the elevator company's manufacturing sites to its recycling practices.

The plan at Otis and parent United Technologies Corp. dovetails with UTC's hefty investments in energy-efficiency systems in recent years.

Otis, with its world headquarters in Farmington and a testing and research center in Bristol, is also encouraging its suppliers and customers to reduce their energy consumption.

"Otis has been working hard to establish a direction for our industry that preserves the planet for future generations. We have introduced energy-efficient products and established two sustainable manufacturing sites, while reducing our greenhouse gas emissions," Didier Michaud-Daniel, president of Otis Elevator, said in a written statement.

Otis, which also builds escalators and moving walkways, says its new systems reduce energy consumption by up to 60 percent.

Otis and UTC have pledged to reduce energy use by 25 percent over the next decade. Otis, which has about 60,000 workers worldwide, including 1,000 employees in Connecticut, says it has reduced worldwide greenhouse gas emissions by 12 percent from 2006 to 2010.
