Abstract

An elevator installation with an elevator unit, which is connected with a power supply mains, is controllable by an elevator control with consideration of first control information based on local requirements of users. The elevator control receives from the power supply mains second control information containing status data for the power supply mains. The first and second control information is evaluated by the elevator control. The elevator control influences operation, which is determined by the first control information, of the elevator installation in dependence on the second control information so as to enable desired operation in terms of energy. A monitoring unit, which determines status data for the power supply mains and provides information for the consumers, is connectible with the power supply mains. The monitoring unit creates second control information for the elevator control in dependence on loading of the power supply mains.
