Technology
Innovative solutions for more sustainable entrances
Over the years, customer needs have become more refined, highlighting areas for improvement over existing solutions, particularly in reference to:
- "False openings" of the door and slow reclosing;
- User discomfort from cold blasts of air directed toward facility employees or customers positioned in reception areas near entrances;
- High energy consumption from energy-intensive air curtains placed adjacent to entrances;
- Need for automatic double entrances to reduce heat loss.
FAAC entered the automatic door market in the mid-1990s, deploying its technological expertise and innovation capabilities early on.

Energy Saving System
The first decisive innovation is called Energy Saving, a solution capable of recognizing the direction of the user's passage, avoiding "false openings," limiting the opening time of the sashes thus allowing a reduction in heat loss caused by open sashes.
Energy Saving helps to contain the energy consumption of the building's air conditioning and heating systems, with great benefits in terms of saving money and reducing CO2 emissions.
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the Energy Saving device, THERMOTOOL software was created in collaboration with the University of Liege (Belgium) to quantify energy savings in economic terms and to measure emission reductions.
Benefits of Energy Saving.
- Detects walk direction and optimizes open/close times, avoiding unnecessary air leakage;
- Reduces the entry of dust and smog, improves indoor hygiene and facilitates daily cleaning;
- Thermal comfort promotes the well-being of employees and customers;
- Improves economic savings to amortize the investment in a few years;
- Reduces CO2 emissions by quantifying them clearly.

AIRSLIDE Integrated Air Barrier
To maximize the energy efficiency of an automatic door, FAAC has developed AIRSLIDE, the automatic entry that integrates the air curtain into the lintel of the window frame.
Advantages of AIRSLIDE
- The air curtain at the entryway protects against winter cold and summer heat;
- Retains air inside the building, helps reduce energy consumption;
- Limits the entry of smog, dust, dirt and insects from outside;
- Eliminates annoying air blasts near the door;
- Simplifies design, as it only requires sizing of the wall space;
- Simplifies installation and maintenance as only one system is required;
- Has a state-of-the-art, invisible design;
- Does not treat air eliminating the requirement for additional consumption.
