Join us for an exploration of the role that automatic and revolving doors play in sustainable architectural design. You'll see how these technologies contribute to energy efficiency, user accessibility, and compliance with building standards. Plus, you'll learn about material choices, operational efficiency, and design considerations to integrate these systems seamlessly into projects that prioritize both functionality and sustainability.
Learning Objectives
- Discover how automatic and revolving doors contribute to energy savings by reducing heat loss/gain and improving building envelope performance.
- Learn how to evaluate factors such as traffic patterns, accessibility requirements, and energy efficiency standards to select appropriate door systems.
- Discuss materials, coatings, and operational strategies that enhance the environmental performance of door systems.
- Deepen your understanding of relevant codes, certifications, and guidelines (e.g., ADA, AAADM, LEED, and ASHRAE) to ensure your door systems meet regulatory and sustainability goals.
