Global leader in security entrances and architectural revolving doors, Boon Edam has launched REST (Revolving Door Energy Savings Tool) – a revolutionary new tool designed to measure and compare energy savings between revolving and sliding doors.

In today's economic climate, energy prices are on the rise, and saving energy has never been more important. One overlooked solution for saving energy in buildings is the use of revolving doors. Revolving doors may involve a larger initial investment than sliding or swinging doors, but they operate on the principle of ‘always open, always closed’, keeping the building's façade sealed off from external elements.

The energy-savings revolution

Based on sustainability ambitions and through sustainability classifications for buildings such as LEED and NABERS, architects and specifiers are seeking ways to make buildings more energy efficient at the moment.

With a 150-year history of experience, Boon Edam has developed a tool to help building owners and architects understand the cost and energy savings benefits of revolving doors compared to sliding doors. The tool, called REST, calculates the ROI for both types of doors and is now available for use.

“With energy prices at an all-time high, the ROI on revolving doors is much shorter,” said Michael Fisher, managing director, Boon Edam Australia. “And with the climactic extremes commonly faced in Australasia, revolving doors offer additional benefits and protections against harsh weather.”

Individual calculations from your building or prospective project

REST is easy to use. Building owners and architects can quickly fill in information about their building. One of Boon Edam's entry experts will then use the tool to calculate the energy savings and cost savings of using a revolving door – compared to other types of doors. Data-driven advice can then be given on the potential energy and cost savings for their building and what door model best suits the installation.

The free analysis and report provide the following:

Energy savings in kWh per month
Analysis of draught prevention

A healthy sustainable building entrance

“REST is a powerful tool for building owners and architects to make informed decisions about the entrances to their buildings,” said Fisher. “It's not just about saving money; it's about being energy conscious and making the right choice for the environment.”

Are you curious about how much energy and cost savings a revolving door can bring to your building? Try REST today and see the difference for yourself.
