The design of the main entrance to any building should never be taken lightly. It is the face of the building, a point of interest for people entering and a statement of what the building represents. For many buildings, a swinging door can be adequate. However, revolving doors have their benefits as well. Let’s explore some of those benefits, including energy savings, and lobbies that are quieter, cleaner and more appealing.
Energy Savings
This consistently closed, yet always open, barrier provided by the revolving door provides significant energy efficiency benefits. Because revolving doors are both always open and always closed, they reduce the amount of air infiltration. It also ensures that hot or cold air does not flow into the building foyer and this is very important in campus-style office buildings with large areas from the entrance foyer. While revolving doors have been traditionally considered a cold-climate solution, they’ve become an increasingly popular entryway product in warmer climates, as it’s just as important to keep conditioned air in a building as it is to keep heated air in a building.
More Beautiful, Quiet, Cleaner Lobbies
Revolving doors can save space and increase safety. A revolving door takes up less space because it does not require the space of swinging doors. Traditional doors present the risk of a hand or fingers being slammed. Wind noise and disturbance as well as street noise can be cut down with the installation of a revolving door. A cleaner room can be kept with less dust, dirt or filth with a revolving door.
