Sustainability

With buildings generally accounting for around 40 percent of energy consumption in society, the focus on sustainability in the construction industry has increased over the past couple of years. We are committed to sustainable buildings and entrances, offering energy-efficient doors, high-quality materials and EPDs.

We have a comprehensive range of automatic swing, sliding, and revolving doors that help reduce commercial buildings' costs and energy consumption. Our doors offer the most value across three key building segments – retail, healthcare, and private commercial buildings. 

Energy-efficient doors

When a door saves energy, the whole building saves energy. Doors and windows are the apparent vulnerabilities when it comes to maintaining indoor climates – they’re thinner than walls and allow external weather to rush in when open. While windows tend to remain closed, doors are required to open and close several times each day for a building to function. Automatic doors are faster, smarter, and more suited to high foot traffic than manual doors. Therefore, automatic doors are necessary for sustainable commercial buildings, helping to minimise heat transmission, air leakage, and air infiltration.

Our automatic doors can:

  • Minimise energy loss
  • Improve indoor air quality
  • Increase daylight
  • Control air circulation
  • Optimise overall energy performance of any building

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.

  • Retail

    Retail is about more than moving things off the shelves. Your business depends on keeping people and goods flowing smoothly.

  • Healthcare

    Keep hospitals and healthcare centers ready for anything with anti-bacterial door surfaces, sealed environments and touchless entrances.

  • Distribution and logistics

    To keep up with the demands of the distribution and logistics industry, fast, safe, and energy-efficient operations are essential. Solutions that promote a good flow of goods is crucial.

  • Transportation

    Restricted zones. Streams of passengers. Extreme weather. Automated doors on a massive scale. From the departure gates to the emergency exit, we get passengers and cargo safely on their way.

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.
