	¹The EU [1] and other international organizations [2] are pursuing greenhouse gas emission reductions to battle climate change. ²To achieve these reductions, the EU aims to increase energy efficiency by 20% by the end of this decade. ³The energy efficiency of buildings should be of main concern, as they currently contribute to approximately one-third of the total final energy consumption [3]. ⁴With rising energy prices, improving the energy efficiency of buildings also provides a monetary incentive for the owners of buildings [4]. ⁵The energy consumption of elevators can account for 3 to 8% of the total electricity consumption of a building, though these figures can widely vary depending on the use and type of building [5].

	⁶Unfortunately, because of this variation, the building owner remains uncertain about the proportion of total energy used by the elevator system [6, Sec. 5.1.2].
