Reduced energy costs, improved indoor environment as well as enhanced comfort, privacy and safety for VIPs travelling through Sweden’s largest airport

The VIP entrance to Stockholms Arlanda Airport provides direct access to security screening for government officials, heads-of-state, and other high-profile visitors traveling from Sweden's capital city. This requires a secure, well-insulated automatic entrance that opens and closes quickly and seals completely to preserve both the privacy and comfort of VIP travelers as they go through the security screening process. The security requirements of this access point to the airport further dictate that this door must be fully operational 100% of the time.

ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems supplied ASSA ABLOY sliding doors with insulated glass and tight sealing features to limit both cold and warm air infiltration and is further handling regular maintenance to ensure that the automatic sliding door operates reliably and efficiently around the clock.

Energy savings calculation tools for automatic doors indicate the airport will see a 40% reduction in average energy costs from the combination of insulated glass and tight sealing features in the installed ASSA ABLOY sliding door compared to a standard sliding door application.
