In recent years, with the implementation of environmental policies and the increasing health awareness, more and more people have realized the importance of Earth's protection and pursued a healthy and environmental lifestyle in daily life.
In the smart home industry, many brands pay more attention to product material, function and transport for providing high-quality products and services and ensuring a healthy, comfortable, environmental and energy-saving living environment. Thus, this article will show how ULTRALOQ to represent energy-saving and environmental concept.
Environmental impact of digital locks and mobile keys
As we’ve known, administration of physical keys is a time-consuming process. Keys are usually kept centrally at one or several offices, meaning those needing access need to go there to pick up and return the necessary keys.
When access to a building needs to be shared, one or both parties has to drive to collect or deliver, and return keys. For example, kilometers driven by property managers of Airbnb caused the higher CO2 emissions.
In many cases people needing access will go straight to the property and require someone to drive there to open and lock doors for them. An example of this is an electrician or plumber who is assigned work on a property.
Mobile keys reduce the need for physical distribution of keys
Digital keys, created instantly by you through the app, can be shared as quickly as sending a text message. Thus, you can grant access directly to those who need it without the need for anyone to drive to handle keys.
This results in fewer trips and lower emissions. Moreover, the materials and energy for making duplicate keys will be saved whenever physical keys are lost, misplaced.
A research shows that distribution of physical keys results in more than 2000 km driven annually for each property. To be specific, this can save 0.25 tonnes of CO2 per building, per year.
