Energy efficiency

With innovative energy-efficient entrance solutions, your business can reduce its carbon footprint, increase savings, and meet energy-saving requirements.

How to meet new energy-saving requirements

In response to the pressing need for sustainable development, energy-saving requirements have emerged across Europe, with governments implementing measures to combat high energy prices and ensure gas supply security. As businesses strive to follow these regulations, upgrading your entrance solutions presents a crucial opportunity to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.

By installing automatic doors in your hotel, store or warehouse, you can make a significant impact on your energy consumption and costs. Automatic doors are designed to minimise energy loss, improve indoor air quality, increase natural daylight, and optimise overall energy performance. Not only will you be saving money on energy bills, but you'll also be contributing to a greener future.

Looking for energy savings? These doors have got you covered.

Lower energy bills with energy-efficient doors

Did you know that door openings and access points are responsible for up to 11% of the energy loss in your building? Upgrading your entrances with energy-efficient doors is a crucial part of reducing energy consumption and limiting related costs. 

Energy-efficient doors provide greater airflow control and minimise air leakage, ensuring that your indoor climate is preserved while reducing energy waste. With the right door type, your business can save significant amounts of energy, leading to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. The greater control you have over how much hot or cold air flows from inside to outside your building, the more efficient your entrances are, and the more significant your savings will be. Let your door do the heavy lifting and watch as your entire building becomes more energy efficient.

Regular service is key to energy efficiency

Regular maintenance of your doors is important for their energy efficiency An automatic door that doesn’t close when intended can lead to increased energy consumption for several reasons.

  • The open door allows air to escape from the building, causing the HVAC system to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. This means that the heating or cooling system will need to consume more energy to compensate for the lost air.
  • If the open door is near a thermostat, it can give a false reading of the room temperature, causing the HVAC system to continue running even when the desired temperature has been reached.
  • An open door can allow unwanted drafts or outside air to enter the building, which can affect the air quality and temperature inside.

All these factors can lead to increased energy usage, higher utility bills, and a less comfortable indoor environment. Regular maintenance of your doors will help ensure that they close properly and efficiently, reducing energy waste and associated costs.

Energy-efficient solutions for high traffic areas

Reduce your carbon footprint and increase your savings with innovative solutions that keep energy consumption low. Whether you're running a healthcare facility, transportation hub or distribution center, high traffic areas demand energy-efficient solutions. But you don't want to sacrifice user comfort for energy efficiency. Automatic doors provide the perfect balance. Smart sensors ensure that the door will only open when people need to pass through and that the door closes quickly once they’ve passed through. This allows you to have close control over both airflow and energy loss.
