“Calories” that would otherwise be burned by the escalator (electricity), I’m sure it uses more when under load, some of them even go in low speed mode when no one’s on it.
I haven’t seen escalators that do that where I’m from, but I was just joking that the claims of saving energy were in reference to doing physical work instead of not using power for the escalator.
Closeup for anyone interested

8 SECONDS FOR EVERY 2 STEPS CLIMBED? Did Korea just discover the secret of immortality and it’s to keep climbing stairs?
Its possible to climb 4 steps at once
Assuming you can do it in a second and that the way back down takes the same amount of time, you can increase your life by 8 seconds per second
If you do this for 20 years continuously, you could live to over 160 years old
Just spend 3 hours a day climbing stairs and you live 1 more day. Ez. Doctors hate this one simple trick.
I like how it says save energy, but also says you burn 0.5kcal per step
