KONE announced it played a key role in supporting Cape Town, South Africa’s Hotel Verde — widely recognized as Africa’s greenest hotel — with innovative elevator technology that contributes to significant energy savings and environmental performance. KONE equipped the hotel with three MonoSpace® elevators powered by the KONE regenerative drive system, which recovers energy during elevator use and feeds it back into the building’s grid. Part of the hotel’s original development, KONE’s solutions have helped Hotel Verde become one of the few hotels worldwide to achieve LEED Platinum certification for both design and operation, as well as earn a six-star rating from the Green Building Council of South Africa. This collaboration forms part of KONE’s wider commitment to sustainable urban development through its KONE Rise strategy, which focuses on reducing carbon emissions, promoting circularity and delivering innovative technology for the cities of tomorrow.
