Air curtains are an innovative solution commonly used to prevent outdoor air which can carry (pollen, dust, insects, and pollutants) from entering buildings, especially when there's a significant temperature difference between indoor and outdoor environments. This helps a building's HVAC system more effectively maintain the indoor climate, significantly saving on energy costs. Think about how often the doors at a grocery store swing open and shut each day, letting heated or cooled air escape. That's a lot of lost energy—and a substantial amount of money.
Beyond their typical use in retail settings, air curtains are incredibly beneficial in environments like cold storage facilities, where traditional doors or barriers aren't practical but temperature separation is essential.
At Melia Associates, we've experienced firsthand the benefits of Berner Air Curtains through successful projects such as our recent installation at Whole Foods in South Windsor, Connecticut.
These installations resulted in notable reductions in the store's operational costs, improved comfort for customers and employees, and significantly advanced Whole Foods' sustainability goals by maintaining consistent interior temperatures and easing the load on the HVAC system.
Sustainability isn't Berner’s only priority. Understanding the importance of aesthetics, Berner offers customized options specifically tailored for architectural integration. Air curtains can be recessed for a sleek, hidden look or finished with custom colors and casings to enhance your building's design and complement your architectural vision.
