2. Program overview

The challenge of designing efficient buildings environmentally arises from the increasing growth of urban areas and energy costs. In fact, we should consider that half the world population lives in urban centres and that in 2050 the world population will reach 9 billion, of which 2 / 3 will live in cities. Elevators and escalators represent 2-10% of total energy consumption of a building – and buildings account for 40% of energy consumption worldwide. This framework provides lift companies new opportunities to compete in the market, the Kyotolift program aims to develop a product characterized by an integrated set of advanced and innovative technology solutions, with the purpose of improving energy efficiency of lifts; This concept of efficiency is understood to be about the power consumption required for the operation of the lift, both in the overall energy expenditure for industrial production of its components. This latter aspect, which has no direct relevance for the user, is a factor that will have a growing weight in the coming years. The energy cost related to the entire life cycle is the main element considered in the new rules on Eco-labeling, that are increasingly required internationally, and based on the approach known as LCA (Life Cycle Assessment). The Kyotolift solution will save energy and reduce the "carbon footprint". The lower consumption is the result of the efficiency level of the structural components (mainly the car and the car sling ), for which we are adopting innovative materials, characterized by low energy costs in production and able to ensure an optimal compromise between lightness and mechanical strength. Part of the research will be directed towards the development of a traction solution very efficient and able to act as an “active” brake system able to recover much of the energy spent to accelerate the car to the level required and to convert it into electricity. The system will also allow the insertion of devices for generating electricity from renewable sources, in particular, a kind of Mini-turbine generator with vertical axis will be used (this is also a research subject). With regard to the electronic components there is a particularly sophisticated system that represents an evolution of the "regenerative inverter". It will be able to connect first with the traction systems (mainly the elevator machine) and other secondary lines, well as the wind blade (or, optionally, a photovoltaic panel), on the other hand, the system will connect to the electricity grid and the system of energy storage. The latter system represents, combined with the "smart inverter”, the heart of the innovation. It consists of a group based on fuel cells, similar to the cells recently adopted by some car companies, and that ,in the Kyotolift project, will be linked closed loop with a generation system based on the hydrolysis of water. The system should ensure the accumulation of energy produced from various renewable sources of energy as well as recovered by the elevator system shutting down. The energy (temporarily stored) is then automatically available via the inverter as it will be required. The system can thus operate in a highly optimized way. It will be possible to stipulate contracts to supply electricity using the lowest power absorption, providing an economical advantage for the end user.

In case of an energy bill in time slots, the system will automatically adapt to the network by reducing the demand especially in the higher cost bands. As regards the preliminary proposal, two new companies were added, the Hysystech Srl of Turin and the Euromedia Terni Srl, which, thanks to their specific experience and expertise, improve the e effectiveness in achieving the objectives of the Program.

3. Scientific and technical contents of the Program

3.1 Definition of the Program in the technological area framework

The program fits in the subarea A4) and it focuses specifically on the topic A4.4) of the development of systems for generating innovative clean energy, autonomous, modular and indoor for the improvement of service systems. The objectives of the Program are entirely consistent with this topic. Indeed Kyotolift focuses on the development of service systems in industrial lifts and it aims in particular to integrate systems of innovative clean energy generation, from the energy that is generated by converting into electricity the kinetic energy of the cabin during their arrest.

3.2 Description of main scientific-technical problems and possible solutions to be required to fulfill the program objectives

The main scientific and technical issues are analyzed in relation to different macro-components of the system. That is:

• Smart Inverter and control panel

• Energy storage system

• Traction System (elevator machine and cables)

• Car and Arches

• Systems of power generation from renewable sources mini-wind and solar

• Verification and Validation tools

As for the traction system, there are two variants. The first is characterized by the presence of a cabin counterweight, the second variant is instead a solution without counterweight. The latter solution addresses a limited series, but that still represents a significant business niches; it concerns mainly the case of renovation of facilities in old apartment buildings. The main advantage that you get, it is the ability to make a cabin more broad, on use equal space in the elevator shaft. The absence of the counterweight also results in a reduction of the total cost of the plant. By contrast, in the solution with counterweight the energy balance is more favorable.

3.2.1 Smart Inverter and control panel

The intrinsic characteristics of the micro-power generation (considering both that produced by the retrieval and conversion of energy from the motion of the cabin, and that generated by renewable sources wind and solar), in particular, its instability and variability, it makes difficult an efficient use of energy produced by supply to distribution network.


Page 7 of 54

The energy produced locally will be conveniently used on site, in order to reduce consumption (bounding the request of energy to the distribution network). Any energy surplus compared need of the lift, will be addressed to the other users of the building possibly related. The main objective of the project will be to achieve intelligent control of energy flows between the renewable sources, the storage system and loads. This will be managed by a single electronic system that will manage the various subsystems; The main functions of the smart inverter will be:

• Modulation and energy supply • Management of the operation at constant power as a function of available energy

(development inverter control to constant and variable power, and use the inverter for determination of the load)

• Optimization of the plant balancing, depending specific utilization to consumption reduction (measuring the weighted average load during use for calibration of mass balance)

• Providing energy for secondary services and facilities of the condominium according to the availability (intelligent management of energy flows between the different sources (network, recovery systems and production systems) and different users (elevator, ancillary services, plant building)

Integral part of the new product will also be a software system for remote control and plant management, developed on web-based platforms, which will have the dual purpose of constantly monitoring the different subsystems, to ensure the most efficiency and an immediate solution to every critical situation, and give visibility, both users and to the public, of production data and energy savings during the activity.

The technical/scientific criticality reside in the high complexity of the system, that will include, in a single system, electrical power sections and digital electronic sections type, and must meet strong reliability requirement.

3.2.2 The energy storage system.

Conceptually this is to create a system equivalent to a set of large capacity batteries. Currently, there are different technologies, the most modern and the most advantageous for the common uses are the batteries Li-ion, which have several advantages over older technologies, including:

• are significantly lighter than other batteries and also have an open-circuit voltage higher than for aqueous solution systems such as lead batteries, for example; • do not suffer from the "memory" effect typical of other systems (for example NI-CAD ), The self discharge rate is between 5 and 10% per month compared to 30% of a NI-MH classical and 10% of a Ni-Cad. Moreover, this rate is due in large part to the internal system of voltage control.

To the needs of the Kyotolift project there are some major drawbacks, namely:

• Li-ion cells have a short life cycle: at every charge, deposits form within the electrolyte, which impede the movement of ions through it, with the effect of diminishing the ability of the cell. The increase of internal resistance affects the ability of the cell to produce electricity, made more so marked in high-current. The effect is clearly visible in old batteries: recharge and discharge will be faster than a new battery.


Page 8 of 54

• The loss of capacity is also given by high levels of charging and excessive rise in temperature, something that happens with traditional carbon anodes. • At a level of maximum load, a Li-ion laptop battery at a temperature of 25 ° C lose about 20% of total capacity in a year. At higher temperatures this effect is more pronounced: 6% at 0 ° C, 20% 25 ° C, and 35% at 40 ° C • They can explode if they reach an excessive temperature, or when charged with a voltage too high. Also, if discharged below a certain tension will be irreversibly damaged. During long periods of inactivity the safety circuit will slowly drain the battery, and if flow falls below the value quoted above, you may need a recharge with sophisticated systems for charging to recover. • There is a product recall of about 1%. • The raw material costs are high because the lithium in an appropriate form for use in batteries is a relatively rare element and is managed by a few producers. The Kyotolift program has planned to develop an alternative storage system, based on a particular alkaline fuel cell (AFC) powered by hydrogen, produced within the system for hydrolysis of water in a closed loop, i.e. without the need to be re-charged from outside. The Alkaline fuel cell is an electrochemical generator in which it enters a fuel (hydrogen), along with an oxidant (oxygen) from which it derives continuous electrical power. Unlike ordinary batteries, the active material is continually renewed and therefore the electric current can be provided indefinitely if you keep the power of hydrogen (fuel cell). AFC are the cheapest fuel cells. The chemical catalyst required for the electrodes can be built with relatively inexpensive materials when compared with those required for other types of fuel cell. The first ship in the world powered by fuel cells (HYDRA) was carried out by Christian Machens and used a system of AFC with a power of 6.5 kW The energy storage system is based on AFC and offers significant advantages over a solution based on Li-ion batteries. Specifically:

1. The storage volume of gas produced, and thus the energy stored by the electrolyser, may increase with a rise in costs less steep than the solution to increase the number of lithium ion batteries

2. The energy storage system Electrolyser/FC is virtually lossless: the gas storage remains the same until the need to use it. In a lithium battery, the stored current is partially consumed by the security system of the battery, causing a constant energy consumption even without external loads

3. The storage system capacity to store energy remains constant over time, whereas for a battery this capacity is reduced.

4. The heat produced by the Electrolyser/FC system can be recovered within the same, in order to increase efficiency, or for external purposes.

5. Disposal at end of life of the Electrolyser/FC system is much less expensive because of the nature of the materials in use.

The operating principle has been known for decades and it is based on a reaction called oxidation-reduction (redox) between oxygen and hydrogen. In the Anode, hydrogen is oxidized by the reaction:

thereby producing water and releasing two electrons. The flow of this two electrons in the external circuit creates work and the circuit ends with the reaction on the cathode


Page 9 of 54

producing hydroxide ions (OH-) that return through the electrolyte to the anode. The reaction as a whole consumes one molecule of oxygen and two molecules of hydrogen producing two molecules of water. The electricity produced is a side effect of the reaction. The two electrodes are separated by a porous matrix saturated with an aqueous alkaline solution, such as potassium hydroxide (KOH). A problem to be solved affect the choice of the electrolyte which must be such as to ensure the required characteristics from Kyotolift. One of the electrolyte problems is the formation of potassium carbonate (K2CO3) due to interaction with carbon dioxide (CO2), which causes a "poisoning" of the stack AFC. The solution, we expect will solve this problem, is to use an electrolyte so-called "flux" using an open matrix, it allows the electrolyte to flow among the electrodes (parallel to the electrodes) or across the electrodes in the transverse direction. An extra challenge for technology will be to understand the influence of the poisoning of the cathode with K2CO3. However, some published works show hundreds hours of work in the air before the effect is consistent. The major issue is that this type of cell design can be achieved with catalysts with platinum or with non-noble metals (e.g. nickel), offsetting the specific and volumetric efficiency with the low cost.

3.2.3 Traction system (winch and cables)

To this day have been carried out elevator installations with traction systems differing from each other. Since the beginning, lift was composed of a traction with a clutch pulley and a counterweight on the opposite side of the cabin, dimensioned so as to nullify the weight of the cabin and part of the weight that it could carry. Until 1970 the lifts were made with a winch to reduction (usually worm). Since 1970, the hydraulic lift has conquered the market because it was said that consumes just uphill, while the descent is made to fall and the rate of descent is regulated by a bottleneck created on the system of oil runoff. The success of the hydraulic system in those years was due mainly to the fact that was not required the tower of the machine room on the roof of the building. Wanting to compare the main types of traction we have:

1. Hydraulic Lift. This type of installation is divided into two solutions, a direct thrust piston and piston thrust in size. Both solutions haven’t the counterweight and require the use of large quantities of oil - which must be disposed of on average every 10 years of work - and engines powerful because, while it is true that the engine only works upwards, it is also true that the power required to lift up the car load, plus the weight of the cabin, plus the weight of the piston rod, plus the oil weight, is more than twice the power required in case of installation with the counterweight.


Page 10 of 54

2. Geared Lift. This type of installation has all the advantages offered by the counterweight, the only negative point is the efficiency of the machine. As previously mentioned, it is a worm gear motor whose efficiency varies between 0.60 and 0.70 in function of reduction ratio. Also this motor has the problem of the oil burning off after a year of work, however limited quantity of 4 to 5 liters at winch, therefore lower than the hydraulic system that operates with an average amount of oil to 120 ÷ 150 liters per plant.

3. Gearless Lift. This kind of plants also enjoy all the benefits of counterweight. With the gearless winch, oil is not used. His return is very high (if well-built reaches 95%) then the energy required to lift the weights is limited to the minimum.

Therefore the goal to be asked within the program is to develop a gearless system of traction winch with a very low energy consumption. The solution will also have the best environmental impact, as will be made with recycled materials and being completely free of oil for disposal. To achieve these objectives it will need to reduce the size of the winch. The construction of lifts norms, born many years ago, provides traction between the pulley and the diameter of the cables there is a ratio of 40 times.

D/d ≥ 40 (where D is the diameter of the pulley and d the diameter of the rope). It is possible to overcome these limits but we must ensure that this does not pose any risk regarding the safety. The technological challenge for the program Kyotolift, is the one to make pulley ratio of less than 40 times the diameter of the rope, still guaranteeing the same levels of security and the same performances. The search will then find new solutions on steel cables and different alloys of metal for our pulley that would enable the use of smaller pulleys to match lower torques. The solution, which will enable to meet the standards of speed, quietness and safety, should be found in the use of steel wire ropes of a new generation, diameter as small as possible, engaged in an appropriate amount to the suspended load and to the safety factor required by the norms of the lift matching pulley traction constructed with materials suitable for this new construction technique. The pulleys will ensure the right clutch, but not be consumed easily and they have not to ruin the ropes. Everything must have a satisfactory life cycle.

3.2.4 Cabin and car sling system counterweighted

Schematically a lift can be regarded as constituting, in a structural level, as following:

Cabin (car) Car sling


Page 11 of 54

Guide The cabin is the part used for the carriage of persons, the car sling is the metal casing which is mounted inside the cab, is directly connected to the ropes and runs on the guides with the use of skates. The guides also enables the preservation of the lift during the race.

Fig. 1: car sling and car.

There are several models of car slings whose shape and size depend on the type of system in which Sales Installation. For example in Figure 1 is an arcade can be observed for a ropeway with direct fire, while in figure two, here is a arcade for hydraulic systems thrust in size.


Page 12 of 54

Fig. 2: Car sling for hydraulic systems in lateral size The car sling has a function of the utmost importance for the safety of the plant since it supports the entire weight of the cabin and passengers. At present, given the characteristics of mechanical strength required, the car slings are made of extruded or bending plate of large thick and made of structural steel, assembled by means of bolts and / or welding. The project research and development has as its purpose to produce car sling-cabin systems lighter so you can reduce the power required to lift engines and energy required during their production according to a LCA Vision (Life Cycle Assessment). To achieve the set out objective, will be realize of a structure made of composite materials. The main technical-scientific problem is to obtain, with the same dimensions of the car sling, mechanical strength and a lifespan comparable to those of the structures currently used. It should therefore be determined during the preliminary stage, whether it is more convenient to maintain a conceptual approach similar to that used in the existing car sling of metal (the one section of profiles of various assemblies) or whether it is more convenient to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the characteristics of high formability of composite materials and therefore a change of approach by implementing a shell-type chassis. In both cases the car sling composite will maintain, in addition to the aforementioned mechanical properties, also the current ease of assembly of the body and therefore should be studied some special systems of assembly in which the various parts will be decomposable. Finally, research will address the possibility of integrating into a single composite structure of the cabin with the car sling. This should lead to a considerable decrease of the total weight of the entire structure, not only because the composite materials are extremely lighter than steel, but also because reducing the amount of weight you will reduce the size of the loads acting on structures and therefore these can be leaner and thus lighter. The main issues therefore affect mainly the


Page 13 of 54

identification of a structure that, maintaining the mechanical design, keep unchanged the modularity of the structures currently employed. Also would be conducted a careful study of the subsystems integrated into the cabin, such as the electrical system, so that we can also use the existing components in the new structure.

3.2.5 Mini-wind and solar photovoltaic generators.

The Program count to use the wind source and the solar source as a form of energy integration to the network for the operation of the elevator and secondary lines it may serve (lighting stairwells, alarm systems and video surveillance etc). We assume an average consumption of 6500 Kw/h per year. Of course, this assumption is bound to a civilian use, instead for public buildings (hospital schools, libraries etc..) consumption could be significantly higher.

As for the mini-wind turbines there are basically two options

• Vertical axis turbines

• Horizontal axis turbines

Considering an average number of hours of wind 1.500, machines considered have a total power in the order of 3-5 kW. In both cases, the systems start to have good performances in terms of efficiency with wind-speed up to 5 m/s, that is difficult to reach in urban area. The problems of the solutions currently available are related to the initial cost (more than 6,000 € / kW) and to the cost of management.

As for the turbines with horizontal axis there is also an considerable issue of visual impact (as the poles on which to install the rotor has a diameter of about 3 m and a minimum height of the supporting pole of 6 m). A further limitation of current systems is then formed by high noise. Regarding vertical axis turbine they have smaller dimensions (1 m in diameter and height of approximately 5 m) than the systems with horizontal axis and their noise reduced by about 20% but weights in the order of 1000 kg to ensure stability.

The aim of research within the Program is the optimization of the technologies currently being analyzed and experiments, which aim to solve the limitations mentioned above.

The idea on which we will work aims to optimize the kinetic effect of accumulation through the use of a dual rotor overlapped when the first (top and lighter) guarantees to produce even with low-intensity winds, the second (down with heavier materials) serves as a driving force.

The main difficulty will be to identify a particular cinematic solution and a set of formal geometries guaranteeing both a high efficiency even with low and discontinuous winds along with a low visual impact.

With regard to the solar photovoltaic system, the project provides two possible studies: • Practical Test in real scale (currently only performed at the laboratory) of latest generation

photovoltaic panels made with films at low cost and reduced productivity • Application on traditional photovoltaic panels with holographic photo-righting film that

maximizes the performance of the panels


Page 14 of 54

Technical issues to be addressed by these two applications are concerned with reducing costs, reducing the area needed for energy optimization (especially for the second study) exposure of photovoltaic panels.

Lighting system

The elevator shaft can also be exploited for the integration of the cowl of light for the light distribution in the elevator shaft (avoids the daylight in the cabin) for maximum conduction of light, you can use optic-fibres for transport.

The main features that make natural light preferable to artificial light are its performance in the perception of color and color changes over time, contrast and luminance (brightness light) of any surface features that can not be simulated by any kind of artificial source. Furthermore, the incident solar flux, for example in a square meters of window is the order of tens of thousands of lumens, long enough, if properly distributed, to illuminate several tens of square feet of work surface (levels of illumination required on the work surface from a minimum of 100 lumens / m² for the service areas to a maximum of 1,500 lumens / sq for the activities of high precision). The combination to brightness regulators of artificial systems will ensure maximum savings.

3.2.6 Tools for Verification and Validation

Kyotolift program's objective is to improve energy efficiency and environmental compatibility of the lift, going beyond existing market references. In this way, a possible risk is that the brought in innovation, as a result not desired, should bear the realization of products with lower reliability or durability.

The issue of verification and validation of innovations, in an point of view of pre-certification and product certification, must be regarded as essential activity within the development of 'innovation.

This is particularly true when one considers that among the probable (and expected) outcomes of the Program, in addition to the introduction of a number of specific innovations over the macro-constituent lift components, will be born new product line that will follow the evolutionary trail inaugurated with Kyotolift.

The topic of on-going results evaluation should therefore be seen not as a fact episodically related to the Program but, rather in structural terms, in the view of the long term, considering also the possible consequences of business that may arise within the industry.

The challenge of innovation will lead in the need to integrate the development processes new competencies, multidisciplinary and, consequently, will also lead to enlargement of the current industry with the inclusion of new profiles of new scientific and industrial expertise.

The ability to assess both in the laboratory and in practice, intermediate results of research (both industrial type is on pre-competitive) and products developed before mass-marketing must necessarily follow a path similar to the vertical and horizontal growth.

One possible example concerns the activities of verification and validation (V & V) of structures made from composite materials, which are expected to be implemented in the structural components (basically the cabin).

Other possible examples are the phases of V & V over the energy storage system such as that represented by the fuel cell, or complex electronic equipment such as inverters and the new Intelligent Control Framework.


Page 15 of 54

In this context, the lack of adequate engineering support could make the lab activities as well as very effective also subject to possible human error.

Within the program, a part of the research will cover the study of mathematical models and appropriate software, specific for lifts issues, aimed at the structural calculation. Moreover will be developed tools to support the laboratory in predictive evaluation of the reliability of certain materials during the expected system lifetime.

Naturally, the simulation will be done via computer won’t replace the activity of testing over the prototypes. Testing over the prototypes will enable the refinement of models (through the identification phase of the parametric quantities in the model) while the computer assessment will shorten the average duration of testing on prototypes.

3.2.7 Competitive advantages w.r.t the state-of-the-art

The solutions proposed in the Program Kyotolift belong to a well-established trend of low-power solutions and environmentally sustainable. The leading manufacturers of elevators now have “green” solutions in their catalog that incorporate energy saving and promise to maintain low operating costs and reduce the environmental impact of 'building. These solutions usually have a central inverter regenerative able to exchange energy directly on site. Disburdening solutions are also proposed based on the use of the cabin with steel profiles and shapes designed to minimize the amount of used material. Undeniably the use of a regenerative drives offer energy savings globally. The point is however that, in reality, the final users are unable to exploit this energy cost savings. Indeed, for several technical reasons, which depend on the irregularity and not enough power generated, the operator of the electricity network does not receive a real benefit from energy fed into the grid and is not willing to recognize a repay for it. Moreover, in most cases there are not forms of tax incentives that reward this type of energy contribution (as for example in Italy with the "energy account" for the source photovoltaic). The solution proposed by Kyotolift, which introduces an innovative system of local accumulation, not intrinsically affected by the problem of losses, and enabling a “smart” use of the electricity, allows the user with a real economic benefit. It adds to this the advantage of being able to operate under contracts that commit a low power supply. Finally we must consider the advantage of being able to incorporate in the system the energy from a wind turbine and solar photovoltaics.

3.2.8 Technical specification of the prototype product/service to be realized

The product consists of complete elevator system in which the main components are characterized by low power consumption and the choice of materials with low environmental impact. The diagram below illustrates schematically the architecture of the system.

Central element to which connect the electrical sub-systems and drives is that the control framework. This includes a control system that integrates the following functions: • regenerative inverter to drive the traction motor (winch) • conditioning inverter and power factor of the energy produced by wind generators and solar

photovoltaic • interface to the storage system based on Hydrogen Fuel Cells with section, that consists of

circuits "super-capacitors" capable of adapting to adapt the power generated and optimize the output current approximating the optimum loading curve of CF closed loop.

The system is designed for carrying capacities more widespread in Europe, i.e. 450 kg and 630 kg at a speed of 0.63 m / sec and 1.00 m / sec., the goal is to employ 160 mm pulleys (minimum) up to 210 mm (maximum), with steel wire ropes variables between 4 mm and 6 mm. The machinery needed for this production must have, given the rate of operation of the lifts (periods of work and rest periods): rated torque of 100 ÷ 120 N / m for the Kyotolift of 450 kg and 160 ÷ 180 N / m for the Kyotolift of 630 kg.

4.4 List of deliverables related to milestones and phases/sub-phases of the Program

The deliverables derive from the discussed plan (see each WP)

4.5 Risk identification, analysis and management

The main identified hazard scenarios are related to areas of innovation for which there is placed a particularly challenging goal. Particularly:

• Relieve the cabin and car sling using composite materials

• Elevator Machine’s ratios pulley / diameter of the cables under 40

Regarding the first point, if the solution would prove inadequate or not meeting the durability requirements (we consider the effect of aging-related degradation of materials), there is an alternative approach based on the use of steel lightened. Currently, the steel used is a structural steel FE370 features a yield strength of about 370 MPa and a Youg’s form of approximately 210 GPa. In this case there will be the extent of reduction of thickness due to the use of a steel range Docol, these are high-strength cold-rolled steel produced by SSAB Tunnplåt. With its various levels of resistance and formability, this steel can be used in many applications. Various combinations of strength and formability allow designers, in fact, to optimize the characteristics of the final product. The characteristics of Docol are as follows:

Supplied in the form of wide strips, strip shears or tin. Available with resistance levels up to 1400N/mm ². Thickness 0.4 to 3.0mm, width of strip 600 to 1500mm. High quality surface finish suitable for all uses.

Since the elastic modulus of the new steel is reputed to be close to the Fe370 one, a problem that must be addressed within this study will be the verify of the respect of deformability limits, once the sections of the profiles have been reduced in thickness. In other words must be verified, by structural calculation, whether it is sufficient to reduce the thickness with no change on the chambers geometry or else will be developed also new profiles.


Page 20 of 54

Regarding the second study, which can be classified as research, will check if with a structure made of composite materials and with the same encumbrance of the car sling, can be used a mechanical strength similar to the normally used structure. Will therefore be determined during the preliminary stage, whether it is more convenient to maintain a conceptual approach similar to that used in the current car sling of metal (various section assembled profiles) or whether it is more convenient to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the composite materials (in particular their characteristics of high formability) and then to change the approach by implementing a chassis shell-type. In both cases the car sling in composite material will maintain, in addition to the abovementioned mechanical properties, also the ease of assembly of the body's current. Therefore should be studied special assembly systems in which it will be partitioned.

As regards paragraph 2 (ratios of diameters pulley / cable under the threshold of 40), is possible, if that would be critical to achieve the objective initially suggested. It is forecasting the possibility of returning to a safe area by adopting a solution to higher reports, sufficient to ensure an energy saving and a less waste of materials, but to ensure the requirements of durability and safety requirements.

4.6 Verification methods to assess the fulfillment of the Program objectives

Monitoring and evaluation methods during program’s implementation and project management practices adopted (where processes that conform to ISO standards and best practices will be documented and made public), allow continuous progress of the Program monitoring. In particular, there will be a general plan level, usually managed by a program’s PM and project planning for each WP (working packages) with a dedicated PM.

Milestones within the plans will be provided for formal verification (Review); Under review it will analyzes the progress of the objectives and it will decide corrective action in case of serious deviations in time. The review result of the individual project manager will be promptly notified to the PM that will assess the impact on the program and he will decide on corrective action. During drafting of planning it will set specific tasks relating to the creation of necessary documents (mainly test plans and checklists) and it will be developed any Testbeds (for tests under conditions of isolated individual sub-systems) in order to simplify and systematize the activities of verification for the purpose of making visible the Program process.

5.1 Description of the proposed partnership organization

The companies involved in the kyotolift Program have intended from the beginning to organize their cooperation according to the typical logic of the consortium, which provides a breakdown of the investment and operational commitments of the share corresponding to their specific role and their business objectives. In order to manage the activities to implement the program, and subsequently, the start of the initiative and its industrial development and market, it will create a special working group (WG), consisting of a referent for each participating company (Project Manager). The WG will also be called to play a secretariat for the project, organizing and coordinating meetings and reviews of project that is expected to take should a monthly basis. The Working Group is divided into two committees with responsibility for operational direction: 1. Technical Committee (TC), which draw on the expertise and facilities made available by the instrumental constituent companies aggregating, activating and optimizing each time the powers necessary and appropriate to the activities of development, industrialization, collection and dissemination of knowledge to 'internal network of companies. 2. Promotion and Development Committee (PSC), which will also use the diverse skills available from external partners (consultants, professionals, and universities) ensuring the planning and optimization of development activities, particularly regarding relations / interactions with of chains of reference, technology partners and trade and supply chains and subcontracting. The direction is entrusted to the GDL program manager who shall, among other things, take care of their report, the ministerial offices and serve as an External Relations Office to any third party. The proponents partner then agreed already formalized in written agreements and the decision to formalize a structure of type consortium, which will be called by program name Kyotolift, in order to better organize the industrial and commercial development initiative. In this regard, it is believed that the WG will be the management tool to monitor its actions, including the downstream end of the project, launching a system, operation and maintenance of the technology platform, production, hardware and software object investment and development.

In 1998 a new management initiates a strong process of creating a new range of cabin doors series: Linear and Sinus DOS, and opening a new factory in Casale di Mezzani (Parma). In 2002, the new suspension Series Q, TÜV certified, replacing the old series Concorde. Here are born the panoramic doors Diamond and kit for some modernization. Prisma continues to broaden its range of special doors: round doors and doors with mechanism, under the threshold gate. In 2005 the door engine Micro comes with extra content and weight. The same year in Navas, Barcelona (Spain), the inauguration of the new production unit, Puertas Prisma, while in 2006 it


Page 25 of 54

concluded the enlargement of the establishment of Casale: the plant reaches 10,000 m2 and the production capacity grows to 120,000 units / year. In January 2007 Prisma took over the manufacturing of elevator machines from an Italian company that now is dedicated to other commercial activities, with the specific project to improve the product quality, widen the market for sales and to develop new engines for lifts with low energy consumption. Skills and resources The first machine with low energy consumption has been carried out and submitted to Lift Fair 2008 held in Milan from 12-15 November 2008. The purpose of this first machine is being used in the replacement of winches mounted in the old plants and enable energy savings of 35-40% on equal weights suspended and dead loads transported, and in that context to ensure the arrest of lift car perfectly level landing. Prism is however ambitious goals in the handling of doors and the lift machine. Thanks to some modern building techniques, supplemented and complemented by targeted research, Prism aims to achieve its drives that work with alternative energy and costs of traditional energy consumption tending to zero. Prisma only in 2007 looking the new world of machines with low energy consumption and not having previously staff dedicated to this end has started the implementation of the new machines of the future using external and researchers using the ability to calculate and Research universities with the first tangible result of a distance only after years of the project. Following this experience, considered positive, Prisma intends to pursue this through research laboratories and outside experts and universities. Within Prism, for now, only one technician was appointed project leader, who takes care of order and coordinate studies, research and tests performed outside. As far as the product automatic doors, research and development is coordinated by an engineer who has a staff of 4 persons, including 2 engineers and 2 dedicated to making prototypes. Prototypes are made by hand and in some cases are used, production machines in their internal and lack of machinery sub-contractors. The design is performed on a computing software using solid-work. The company is also equipped with instruments for measuring adequate for the verification of cuts in working prototypes or the definitive test.

5.2.3 Green Energy S.r.l.

Brief history of the company and contribution to the project

Green Energy S.r.l. comes up from the experience of two different realities: the Associated Study Green Energy and the Green Energy S.n.c. and inherits their main activities. Everything started with the Associated Study Green Energy, which is a study of design and environmental advice deed to spread the employ of technologically advanced solutions to obtain the most reasonable use of the territory. It is here proposed to improve the environmental management of the society through actions which reduce the environmental impact of the activities and realize a control of the costs and wasting with a more rational use of the resources. The main operative fields of the study are the research, the design, the application and the divulgation of the renewable sources of energy; in this field Green Energy proposes as element of connection among all the fields of the renewable energies evaluating their application from the building industry to industry, from agriculture to the energy production/sale market. Through this


Page 26 of 54

background it is possible to unit the advantages deriving from each single energetic source calibrating the most appropriate operative mix among the resources available. As completion to the design activity, it is executed an activity of advice for what concerns the use of ecologic materials, the use of technologies advanced and appropriate, the innovative building techniques with low energetic dispersion, the management of rubbish and the draining of contaminated sites. The study proposes, moreover, both for the public and for the private the drawing up of environmental and energetic managerial plans. As integration of the advice and design activities provides to the creation of practices to use the opportunities and facilitations promoted by public boards, to obtain the permissions inherent to the environmental law and to the prevention of fires. By pursuing its target, that is to divulgate the use of technologically advanced solutions to obtain the most reasonable use of the territory has seen the necessity to educate the young people and communicate with the adults. For this reason Green Energy proposes courses of formation for the promotion of a living in harmony with the environment without fossilizing the development of the society. One of the fundamental elements of the study is the scientific research; actually the TEAM works together with the ENEA (National Board for the new technologies, Energy and Environment), the ISES ITALIA (International Solar Energy Society), the AIEL (Italian Association Energy from Wood), the University of Brescia, Padua, Parma and Messina, the faculty of Physics of the Sacro Cuore University of Brescia and the IUAV of Venice.

All plants are networked to exchange information in real time using information technology emerging ITAPAC. Aware that the close dependence on market supply of components could create strategic constraints to its development, the company decided to ensure control of the construction of automatic doors of quality. They gained control of Prisma Srl, which is an important tool to penetrate demanding markets such as Germany. We are in the early 90s. Through the sale of the ports Centoducati are known in detail the different needs of a market that is as complex and develops in a systematic plan of product certification that also countries outside the European Community. Entering into force the harmonized European standards. The Centoducati is among the first companies to adapt its products and its technical and commercial structures to new requirements in order to support his organization with the market, disoriented by the news emerging. Hungary was set up in the Olmalift kft, for the marketing of products Centoducati in that market, thus anticipating the future harmonization of the Hungarian market with the European one. The structure of the group is integrated with the acquisition of Bravo, Inc., specializes in the

For several months working with Ciam Services and follows in particular the start up of the Center for Research in Lifts technology based near Cagliari.

5.4 Management plan

According to the organization defined at the program’s start, the Work group will create, starting from the official Gantt diagram, a General Plan that will detail the key tool for conducting the activities implement, monitoring the performance of individual work packages, with the primary aim of orient and focus the activities to the achievement of predetermined milestones. This point will be of vital importance to keep the project aligned with the predetermined timing of 36 months. The WG will create and make public procedures, documentation templates, software packages and tools adopted officially in the program, giving priority where possible, the choice of Open Source solutions. It will also defined a function of QA - formally stands for Quality Assurance - to ISO standards related to design processes and best practices known.

The project management will focus on multiple levels. At a technical executive level, the WG will refer to the individual packages of work to Project Manager Responsible for individual packages of work and will follow the activities at the premises on which their assets are allocated. In correspondence of the milestones are scheduled audits of work progress, including through the instrument of formal review of the project. Planning can be revised to fit the trend of real projects. In case of serious deviations from the budgeted performance and delays in release of deliverables planned, will be decided on the appropriate corrective action.

On the economic and financial field, monitoring will cover the analysis by index of deviations from the estimated cost, it will aim to report in advance with the risk of incurring excessive exposure to financial. In fact, since the arrangements for allocating the share of public co-financing will not be timed with the financial requirements that the 'project will involve running, there is an issue of cash flow hedges, which should be properly planned by each partner and properly monitored in order to prevent possible delays in the completion of each WP and prevent the possible impacts and consequences on the timing of the entire program.

Management Within the activities of the Program is planned to develop a web-based information tool for project management support and the diffusion of results (see PL3 Program).

The information system will be based on a database containing all information about the project, including:


Page 41 of 54

- Progress of individual activities and WP;

- Effort and costs;

- Interim results, developed components and subsystems;

- Activity reports for inspection and review provided in the milestones;

- Results of tests and simulations.

The system will be web-based and will be installed on a dedicated server, creating a website dedicated to KYOTOLIFT, including:

- A public area - accessible to anyone with requested access privileges - including documentation and artwork of current activities and achievements

- A private area, reserved to the partners and accessible using login and password, including a set of tools for the control of management (Gantt activities dynamically updated, recording sheets of activities, etc.).

- A private area for centralized storage of documents and for the managing of communications (email, videoconferencing, sending files) to/from the project manager

7. Industrial development plan

7.1 Brief description of the investment project

It is expected that the investment project involving all the companies participating in the program implementation and that the costs are borne by each company according to shares that depend on the specific areas of expertise. The amount of investment planned for the start-up is 4,500,000 Euro, which will mainly expensing the costs of industrialization of all components of products in addition to costs for the construction of production facilities, which will be sized on the basis of expected volumes. Besides these, there are investments of around 2,000,000 euros, spread over the four years considered for promotional type activities and the creation of sales networks in Italy and abroad. The potential volume set on the Italian market alone as a result of the campaign for an adjustment for the safety of existing lifts (see EN 81.80 - DM 23 July 2009), are more than 560,000 units. Installations "in place of existence" will take place gradually over time, beginning with the lifts with the degree of increased age. The chart below shows the breakdown of lifts in Italy according to the date of installation.

The assumptions of volume of sales considered in the plan for supervisory and rely mainly on sales of elevators in substitution of the existing kits and modernization, which will form part of the business more profitable.

7.2 Presentation of the involved entrepreneur and management

The contact referent for the program is the Ciam Servizi Spa, which has done from the outset the role of promoter of the project and, in dialogue with some of the most significant holdings of Italian industrial landscape in the industry, meant that it constituted the current partnership proponents. Figure around which the initiative is that of the clotting Sandro Citarei, Chief Executive of Ciam Servizi SpA. See attached Curriculum Vitae.

7.3 Market competitive advantages

One of the first Italian worldwide about the installed base of elevators is the first in the world in absolute terms (even more than the United States), with more than 870 thousand plants in operation. Of these systems only a small percentage (those installed after 1998, which are less than 5% of total) meets the latest safety requirements.

In recent years, attention to security institutions led to the 'enactment of a decree requiring the gradual restructuring of the old plant for an adjustment of security levels to current standards (see Scajola Decree of the Ministry of Economic Development, 23 / 07/2009). The decree meets a strongly felt need, given the importance of the subject security-related means of transport used in our country, with over 70 million person trips per day.

This Decree, which primarily aim of securing buildings and technological systems, (including a lift indispensable means of transport) also serve the objective of the Government to revive the construction industry and the industrial sector accounted for primarily by companies in the chain lift. Fact, the Decree in Italy Scajola actually implements a recommendation from the European Commission (95/216/EC of 8 June 1995) on improving the safety of existing lifts.

As part of this opportunity, the leverage of energy saving has a strategic value because it can be decisive in guiding the purchasing decisions by customers.

Kyotolift it will have virtually zero in the energy bill, allowing even (thanks to integration with power generation systems from renewable sources) to generate a surplus of energy to be devoted to food service equipment such as lighting of stairs and systems for video surveillance on areas which are, etc..

At this time of particular crisis in the industrialized world and attention to environmental issues and energy, is therefore of paramount importance to exploit this enormous opportunity to improve, along with safety, including the energy balance and environmental impact of the elevator system.

Based on a very conservative estimate of the replacement of 200 thousand plants, if we consider that the consumption of a plant is fairly standard around 6Kwh/day, the adoption of Kyotolift (not including lighting in stairways and other secondary users) would reduce national consumption of around 438 GWh, equivalent to 321,000 Tons of C02 a year is not released into the environment, thus ensuring Italy a huge advantage for the attainment of the parameters of the Kyoto Protocol, with low costs compared to the average of interventions required for the reduction in consumption in the industrial sector.

Even maintenance services, which Kyotolift using the latest technology, are designed to reduce unexpected failures and interventions in place is not needed, also contribute to reducing the ecological footprint of the system. A plant well maintained and kept in efficiency has undoubtedly also lower consumption.

Then considering the business model that enables companies to add to returns, including royalties from sales of service activities (such as maintenance required), we see that the full economic benefits achieve in the energy bill can be obtained by incorporating the company's voice its power efficiency in services rendered to customers.


Page 46 of 54

Or you can use the higher profitability by reducing the selling price of the system and therefore obtaining a decisive competitive advantage in the market.

With regard to international markets, the leverage of energy savings will amount to the increasing importance of a commercial certificates of qualification scheme (ecolabels) based not only on consumption but also on calculating the energy required during production and on the ' use of oil and other substances harmful or costly disposal.

As for the European context, are already EU directives which establish the obligation for public companies or subsidiaries to buy products that guarantee minimum levels of environmental sustainability (see in particular Green Public Procurement - Communication on the Sustainable Consumption and Production and Sustainable Industrial Policy Action Plan COM (2008) 397).

As for the Asian market starting with China, pushing the introduction of incentives for the adoption of policies for energy saving and environmental sustainability is even stronger and is enshrined in laws and regulations. Is there a national plan to cut by 50% by 2010 and 65% by 2020 energy consumption in buildings. Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing - the four largest urban realities in China even plans to reduce consumption by 65% for 2010.

Data from the Chinese Ministry of Development estimates that the cost to implement the plan to reduce consumption will cost no less than 193 billion dollars by 2020 and will, once implemented, savings of 135 million tons of coal per year.

In this context, the adoption of systems to environmentally-friendly option actually becomes a "must" also as regards the choice of the lift.

In summary the development of Kyotolift program aims to equip the chain of a product that meets market expectations, anticipating where possible evolutionary trends expected, and enabling companies in the sector to grow the domestic market - using the opportunity opened by the recent ministerial regulations - and to enter (or in some cases enter again) in foreign markets where the greater the prospects for growth.

Product characteristics Kyotolift are therefore:

1. Energy solutions and innovations on the materials that would enable the certification of products by current standards and those planned for the future in terms of environmental compatibility (ecolabels). In this regard, it is possible to predict that because of the continuous evolution of technologies and sensitivity to environmental issues, as well as industrial policies at various national governments, environmental parameters in the coming years will be subject to ongoing updates (the example of what has happened and still happens in the automotive sector with the series Euro2-Euro5 - "auto zero impact"). It is therefore essential that the choices in technology have breath enough to provide some room for improvement.

2. Ability of customers to benefit from the tax advantages arising from the adoption of technologies for reducing consumption (tax rebates, white certificates...)

3. Opportunity to have significant reductions on the energy bill for the entire lifetime of the product purchased.

4. Advanced features of tele-control, tele-maintenance and support services in the safety of users of the lift.

Regarding point 3. the economic benefit will be in terms percentages very high (reaching 100% of the total current) for all sections of the market, regardless of the size of the plant. In terms of absolute savings, this will be particularly strong where there is a high usage and electrical power in the game are more high (ie, in all professional users, from hotels to offices of public and private).

In addition to product lift complete, the program Kyotolift also aims to develop a kit for an adjustment for fuel efficiency, designed to lift the existing, albeit relatively new installation. Competitive advantages available on the market resulting from the factors highlighted above and, in a nutshell:

• Adoption of plant-based composite materials for the structure of the cabin. This solution, besides being particularly good in terms of eco-sustainability, will ensure a sharp reduction in the weight of the cab (thereby reducing the mass of ferrous material necessary to accomplish the counterweight). Furthermore, the use of these materials will develop conceptually new solutions including the design, which is universally recognized as one of the top Italian companies.

• Ability to integrate renewable energy sources in a modular and flexible, taking into account the different spatial locations, development of special generators, low-impact architectural and environmental, that can be easily arranged on the roof of the building, in the column correspondence lift.

• Ability to store energy and make it available for later use. This feature, unique in the current supply of elevator manufacturers, is based on a form of storage with large capacity (based on hydrogen fuel cell) highly efficient and inherently unaffected by the problem of energy dissipation, this system passes also established the critical need for frequent replacement and disposal, typical of traditional batteries.

7.4 Technical feasibility analysis

The company proposers, especially those with 'connotations on the industrial (ie those that cover them in their business life cycle of full product, starting from conception through to production and finally to direct marketing) are involved within Kyotolift developing a component that can 'be seen evolution of components currently covered by their core business. In this way, it ensures the highest level of compatibility between the profiles of the technicians of the proposers, required in both phases of research and development in both phases of industrialization and development needs of the Program Kyotololift. This is also the main guarantee for the success of the industry.

To ensure availability of technical skills and profiles required in the later stages of research, he has decided to involve for a very large amount in relation to the overall budget, both the University of Terni that the University of Cagliari and create a contract.

With regard to the component comprising the energy storage system, it was decided to involve the Company Hysystech of Turin, which besides being a specialist in the field of cells to hydrogen, and operates in close synergy with the hydrogen technology park in Turin (HySyLab) and also with Politecnico di Torino, in which Hysytech has its own laboratory technology.

Always in order to ensure the technical feasibility of the Program Development is designed modularly parallel lines and largely autonomous. The functional blocks that comprise the system are clearly identified within the architecture. Functional interdependencies are related to a known and relatively limited number of interfaces, whose detailed specifications are the subject of development in the earliest phases of the Program.

The organizational structure that has been decided to prepare, taken from the major projects in
