SPAR, Austria

Challenge

ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems worked closely with SPAR grocery stores to design a vestibule with the optimal configuration of a door-opening solution, door automatics and other equipment to minimize energy losses. By putting together the best possible combination of automatic entrance, glass, activation units and air curtains, ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems was able to meet SPAR’s requirements for energy savings and convenience.

Solution

The entrance solution from ASSA ABLOY, in combination with other state-of-the-art technology such as sustainable heating and cooling systems and LED lighting, have helped the SPAR store in Vienna reduce its energy consumption by 50 percent compared to traditional supermarkets of similar size. Significant energy savings were also achieved in Murau, and both stores were awarded Gold certification by ÖGNI, the Austrian Society for Sustainable Real Estate.
