Energy Control Option ( ECO ) mode sets several elevators into standby or sleep mode . This prevents elevators from making an unnecessarily large number of trips to transport only a few passengers .
An eye towards the future Schindler won the contract for the Marine One project in Singapore , which includes two 34-storey luxury residence towers , for which elevators will need to be supplied .
