• ELEVATORS
• The Duke Energy Center features Destination
Dispatch™, a new concept in elevator controls
designed to help occupants reach their destination
faster. Instead of pressing traditional up/down
buttons to call an elevator, passengers tell the system
where they want to go before they board the cab.
Knowing this information in advance, the system is
able to assign elevators to passengers with common
destinations.
