Elevator

$2.$ Design an elevator system for a $7$ story, single purpose tenant, office building $($investment$)$ that provides a "good" level of service. Consider the following with the use of table$($s$)$ and calculations:

$($a$)$ Construction level is "normal"

$($b$)$ Floor height: $12\text{'}-0"$ floor to floor

$($c$)$ Floor area: $17,000$ net square feet $($nsf$)$ each.

Calculate the following:

$($i$)$ The handing capacity $(HC)$ of the elevator.

$(3$ marks$)$

$($ii$)$ The rise of the elevator.

$(3$ marks$)$

$($iii$)$ The average trip time $($ATP$).$

$(3$ marks$)$

$($iv$)$ Round trip time.

$(3$ marks$)$

Question $2$ continues on the next page $($Page $2)$

$($v$)5-$minute handing capacity

$(3$ marks$)$

$($vi$)$ The number of car$($s$)$ or elevator$($s$).$

$(6$ marks$)$

$($vii$)$ Sketch a layout $($plan view$)$ of the elevator$($s$)$ you have calculated in Question $3($vi$).$

$\frac{(4\text{m}\text{a}\text{r}\text{k}\text{s})}{\text{T}\text{o}\text{t}\text{a}\text{l}}=25$ marks
