加拿大渥太华的卡尔顿大学近日宣布，其已经在帕特森音乐厅（Paterson Hall）采用了无接触式电梯技术。该建筑是一座中层建筑，设有哲学和历史系。而该试点项目始于2018年初，乘客能够通过智能手机呼叫电梯。该大学的初衷为所有人提供无障碍获取服务，但无接触式电梯应用程序在新冠肺炎疫情流行期间还多了一层身份，是“在楼宇内移动的安全卫生的方法”。
OTTAWA UNIVERSITY LAUNCHES TOUCHLESS ELEVATOR APP
Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, has implemented touchless elevator technology at Paterson Hall, a midrise building that houses departments including philosophy and history, the university recently announced. Enabling passengers to call an elevator from their smartphones, the pilot project originated in early 2018. While Carleton's ultimate goal is to provide accessibility to all, the touchless solution also is a "sanitary way to move around buildings" in the COVID-19 era.
