It has been reported that tall buildings that use elevators to travel between floors lose thousands of dollars a year in through heat loss do to improperly insulated elevator shafts.
Heat loss in these buildings depends largely on the height and location. Tall buildings in areas where they are surrounded by other like buildings more densely populated can lose up to $2.500 a year while the same building in an area that allows for more air flow or is prone to higher winds can loose up to $5,000.
Without some kind of insulation elevator shafts work like chimneys, sucking the heat in at the bottom of the shaft and blowing it out at the top of the buildings.
Spray foam can greatly mitigate the loss of heat in elevator shafts at the same time dampening the sound of the cables and machinery.
