With the symptoms of Climate Change now so apparent – the latest shock being glaciers can no longer self-cool – there is an immediate need for all of industry and commerce to take steps reduce energy consumption writes Chris Dobson.
Industry, that is from manufacturing to storage, needs to assess the efficiency of the premises they occupy so it can reduce energy consumption in busy warehouse or production facilities. The classic is the ever open industrial door. Why not I hear you cry, after all we can’t close doors every time there is no need to leave them open.
This “leave the door open” policy suggests on one hand laziness but on the other a lack of simple mathematics – the every open door not only allows costly heated air to escape but colder air to penetrate the building.
More often than not when the door is opened again it is possibly left open because operatives find it much more convenient. For the exasperated plant manager there is a solution for temperature control and energy management. It is the automatic, high-speed door range such as Hart Door System’s Speedor which is the solution.
Speedor’s fast-action is the perfect answer. With quality engineering and durability, Speedor high-speed doors will maintain temperatures within a building while keeping energy costs at an acceptable level.
No matter the industrial classification, Hart can manufacture industrial door systems customised to meet specific needs. As an example the Speedor Storm variant is ready for anything the weather can throw at it. Be it a factory, warehouse, storage facility or any kind of plant operation, where doors must be open frequently for people and traffic the Speedor Storm can withstand wind up to ‘wind class 5’ as defined by DIN EN 12424.
Whether it’s access for deliveries, forklifts or people, there are far too many businesses that leave major entrances open for an unnecessary amount of time. The knock-on effect is wasted heating, higher costs and a less than optimal working environment.
Speedor Storm is designed specifically to take care of this. It can help with productivity because entering and leaving can be done more rapidly than non-automatic doors. Further it enhances the working environment because the high-speed operation, even on large doors, means there are no unnecessary open stages.
In turn this lowers energy consumption, important at a time when the cost of energy shows little sign of improving and of course reduced energy use has a positive impact on Climate Change.In conclusion Hart Door Systems’ Speedor range can make a very significant contribution to energy conservation and a carbon footprint. The combination of automation and high speed operation prevents the passage of heated or cooled air escaping from a building only to heat the car park for instance.
