An evaluation of ride quality in lift systems of selected public high-rise buildings in Abuja, Nigeria

Ride quality of lifts enhances the comfort of lift users in high rise buildings. This work investigated the ride quality of lifts in selected high-rise buildings within the Central Business District (CBD) of Abuja, Nigeria. The study adopted field survey method. Instruments like the WT85 Digital...

This work investigated the ride quality of lifts in selected high-rise buildings within the Central Business District (CBD) of Abuja, Nigeria. The study adopted field survey method. Instruments like the WT85 Digital Sound Level Meter and Smart Sensor Vibration Meter alongside a checklist were used for data collection on lift cabin interior sound level and vibration during acceleration.
