Eco-friendly technology
The vacuum elevator combines a smooth, vertical cylinder with a coaxial car that moves up and down by air suction. The movement of the elevator is caused by the ascending push generated by the difference between the low pressure above the top of the car and the atmospheric pressure under the car. The principle is similar to drinking beverages through a straw. Sucking the air out of the straw = Nuva goes up; Mouth opening = Nuva goes down
Multinational safety certifications
Nuva is not only protected by patents from the Europe and United States, but also has been certified to be electrically safe by the U.S. It has also passed seismatic and elevator standard to ensure absolute safety.

During an earthquake please do not use the elevator. After the earthquake, it is necessary to test the elevator operation to ensure there are no abnormalities before resuming usage. Please contact the maintenance company after strong earthquakes. Our maintenance staff will perform a thorough safety check.
