Kinda true, but not because of the formula. Elevators are really efficient now because of constant innovation. The actual dilemma is that you ‘should’ use elevators if they are already installed, but considering their construction they are way less energy efficient.
I suspect the actual energy cost of going up a few flights of stairs is entirely negligible compared to the subsequent reduction in energy usage for transportation of said human if their weight were reduced.

Except elevators are about 1000 times less efficient than a human body. Please do research before claiming nonsense.
