Automatic Doors Can Save Energy and Boost Sustainability

Entry points are vulnerable areas in buildings concerning energy efficiency. Doors are opened and closed numerous times daily, which complicates the maintenance of internal climates. Automatic doors can contribute to energy conservation by providing better management of air circulation and temperature.

Impact of Manual Doors on Indoor Climate

Doors that are opened and closed manually frequently permit indoor air to leak out and let outside air come into a building. When outside air comes in, it can cause variations in indoor temperatures, which means that the systems responsible for maintaining the indoor climate will have to expend additional energy to either heat or cool the building.

Advantages of Automatic Doors

Automatic doors offer a practical solution, as they are faster, more efficient, and better suited for high foot traffic compared to manual doors. This is particularly important for buildings located in areas with extreme temperatures, where quick opening and closing of doors is crucial for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

Engineering and Functionality of Automatic Doors

Automatic doors are specifically engineered to control the airflow between the interior and exterior. Automatic swing and sliding doors function with a sensor that opens when someone approaches and quickly closes after them, while revolving doors turn to permit entry or exit from a building while minimizing the size of the opening, which helps limit the air exchange. By implementing automatic doors, companies and organizations can significantly reduce energy consumption and enhance their sustainability.

If you've ever passed through an automatic door or stayed at a hotel, you may have encountered a product or service from Seed Green. The doors smoothly open and close as you walk by, efficiently working to minimize the inflow of outside air into the area. Sometimes, you might not even notice that the door has opened at all. This is how we contribute: with our extensive selection of automatic swing, sliding, and revolving doors, we assist commercial buildings in conserving energy and achieving their sustainability goals.
