How much energy is saved when escalators use different speed settings (ie. sensors that detect usage and power up the escalators and power down when there is no usage)?

Don't know about the energy, but I think it saves on maintenance costs as well. I can't count how many times I have seen the Canyon Meadows station escalators blocked off for maintenance/fixing. It happens on a weekly basis now. They should just shut them down permanently.
