- Abstract
The article focuses on the selection of Mitsubishi Electric by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to install Power Efficiency Corporation's (PEC) motor efficiency controllers on its 122 escalators. Metro facilities maintenance manager Hussein Farah discovered that the controller reduces escalator energy use by up to 35%. The technology was tested by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) for measurement and verification of energy savings on the escalators of Metro.
