As warehouses have large access doors, significant amounts of heat or chilled air in air conditioned buildings will escape, leading to increased energy bills. High speed doors help maintain energy efficiency within a building by minimising the amount of time the door is open and letting out heated or chilled air. By acting fast, the doors maintain temperatures, keeping employees comfortable and stock at the correct temperature while lowering energy bills.
