How automatic doors can keep you green
In today’s rapidly changing world, where sustainability has become a key priority, businesses are seeking more ways to reduce their carbon footprint.
While many focus on renewable energy sources or recycling practices, there’s an often-overlooked solution that can significantly contribute to a greener future and that is high speed, insulated automatic doors.
Our innovative automatic doors not only provide convenience and accessibility but also offer numerous environmental benefits. Below, we explore how automatic doors can help you to reduce your building’s carbon footprint.
Energy Efficiency
One of the key advantages of automatic doors is their energy efficiency as opposed to traditional doors.
Automatic doors operate using sensors or motion detectors, opening and closing only when needed. By minimising the time doors remain open and preventing unnecessary drafts, automatic doors help to maintain indoor temperatures and reduce the need for excessive heating or cooling, therefore saving significant energy.
Optimal Climate
Maintaining a comfortable indoor climate is crucial to a building. Constantly adjusting thermostats and HVAC systems to compensate for temperature fluctuations caused by open doors can be energy-intensive and costly.
Automatic doors play a pivotal role in preserving optimal temperature by minimising the exchange of indoor and outdoor air. This, in turn, reduces the reliance on heating and cooling systems, leading to lower energy consumptions and reduced carbon footprint.
Enhanced natural lighting
Automatic doors with built-in transparent materials such as our Sprint or Spiral doors, help to allow ample natural light to enter the building which reduces the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours.
Maximising the use of natural light will allow your business to lower their electricity consumption.
