Residential lifts are one of the key infrastructures which make high-rise HDB living possible, and residents use them on a daily basis. With the emergence of COVID-19, we have seen measures such as applying self-disinfecting coatings on lift buttons and safe distancing within the lifts being implemented to reduce possible virus transmission.
As we adapt to a COVID-19 endemic world, we are interested in enhancing the design of the lifts more holistically, by incorporating innovative and effective technologies to create a vertical transport environment which improves the well-being of our residents, either via eliminating physical human contact points, via systematic sanitising of the mediums in the lifts, or through other ways.
