| Abstract |
Elevator planning for high-rise office buildings is one of the most significant planning elements considering that it directly affects users’ convenience and area efficiency. When establishing elevator plans for high-rise office buildings, decisions for vertical zoning should be made. Determining the amount of coverage area per elevator is relevant to deciding the number of floors per zone. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the range of area that one elevator can cover so that elevator plan can be established during the initial planning stage for high rise office buildings. This research is based on quantitative methods using proven calculation and the result can be used as a guideline for elevator planning. |
