Aiming to make your business more eco-friendly? Going green doesn't just benefit the environment—it can also positively impact your business's bottom line by helping you conserve money and valuable resources.

Many businesses use sustainable products and follow the three R's in the quest for sustainability, but did you know you can also make your business more sustainable by making energy-efficient upgrades such as swapping out your doors? Wondering how automatic doors make your office more sustainable? Learn more ahead.

The Importance of Building Sustainably

It's important to keep your business’s interior comfortable for employees and customers. Part of making your business a comfortable space involves maintaining the temperature through heating and cooling systems. But these systems take up a surprising amount of energy, and the more energy your business produces, the larger its carbon footprint.

But you can still maintain the well-being of your employees and customers without harming the environment. One way is to replace your doors with eco-friendly exterior doors as an alternative.

Automatic Doors: A Practical and Sustainable Option

Your commercial doors open and close multiple times a day. Every time someone enters or leaves through these doors, indoor air leaks from your building while outdoor air sneaks inside. This disrupts the temperature of your building. To make up for the constant loss of air, your heating and cooling system has to work harder than normal. This leads to higher energy consumption.

How do you prevent air from escaping or entering your business? You can't manipulate the flow of air, but you can minimize drafts and air leakage by investing in doors designed to accommodate heavy foot traffic. How do automatic doors make your business more sustainable? By reducing heat transmission and decreasing the amount of lost air. This keeps your heating and cooling systems from using up more energy than necessary.

There's another advantage to automatic doors—their durability. They are less likely to sustain damage than manual doors. They're also unlikely to become stuck. Why is this important? Because air can seep in or out from cracks, holes, and gaps in the door. A door in good condition will always be more eco-friendly than one that isn't.
