Save Electricity Closing Doors<\/p><\/div>\n
Watch the door, so we can save on electricity<\/h3>\n
The public spotlight is on energy like never before, as recent measures introduced around Europe show. By law, Spanish offices, shops, and hospitality spaces may only heat or cool premises to between 19\u00b0C and 23\u00b0C. In France, air-conditioned shops can be fined up to \u20ac750 if their doors are left open.<\/p>\n
Notice the big savings on power bills as we seal doors and windows<\/h3>\n
A drive to improve energy efficiency across the commercial sector has been underway for a long time. In 2017, the Harvard Business Review was already calling energy efficiency one of the \u201ckey levers of business success\u201d.
\nIn the public sector and private industry, offices, in schools, universities, healthcare centers, and elsewhere, organizations need solutions that boost sustainability and their bottom line.<\/p>\n
Buildings consume around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity. One very simple and effective way to reduce their use and waste \u2013 and at the same time, save costs \u2013 is to ensure doors are closed.<\/p>\n
The many benefits on our electricity bill of a fully closed door<\/h3>\n
The energy efficiency benefits of a closed door are simple to understand. It is less easy to quantify the impact, but scientific studies agree it is significant.<\/p>\n
In 2010, Cambridge University estimated that closed doors could reduce energy use in a typical shop by up to 50%. An engineering journal measured air infiltration through an opening at more than 21 times that of a closed door.
\nInside a building, a closed door helps to maintain important temperature differentials \u2013 between an operating theatre and waiting rooms, for example, or a server room and office spaces. Closing doors reduces the energy used to heat or cool these distinct areas.<\/p>\n
Fully closed interior doors also reduce the stack effect \u2013 unwanted inward airflow on the ground floor which is caused by rising warm air inside the building.<\/p>\n
Close Your Door for Big Electricity Savings<\/h4>\n
Closed doors help insulate the inside of a building from the elements outside. They reduce energy waste. They also improve interior air quality and building security, as well as minimizing noise pollution.<\/p>\n
