What exactly does it mean to make airport buildings more climate-friendly?
Whenever warm and cold air masses meet, we’re talking about two different climatic conditions. This usually occurs in the entrance areas of a building. There, warm air escapes through the upper part of the doorway, while cold air enters through the lower part. A properly designed air curtain system can largely prevent this exchange and thus ensure a comfortable climate at the airport.
“We help ensure that airline passengers and airport employees feel comfortable,”
Markus Gohres, Sales and Quotations.
By “climate-friendly,” we mean the climate inside the airport building: the climate at various locations within the airport building (entrances to terminals or logistics buildings).
Tekadoor offers the ideal solution to help ensure that air travelers and airport ground staff feel comfortable at the airport. Professional face coverings significantly reduce absenteeism among airport employees.
Fewer drafts in the winter, improved climate control in the summer.
To achieve optimal indoor climate conditions, the use of an air curtain can minimize drafts during the fall and winter months while retaining as much warm air as possible. During the summer months, however, the airport building’s energy-intensive air conditioning system remains in operation. This ensures energy-efficient support for climate control throughout the year.
Drafts are more likely to occur in the following areas of the airport building:
- Civilian entrance areas of the airport building
- Transition areas from the airport to the airplane
- Doorways and passageways between airport terminals
- Entrance and Delivery Areas of the Logistics Building at the Airport
Benefits of an optimal indoor climate in the airport building:
- Significantly reduced drafts
- Comfortable temperature for travelers and airport staff inside the building
- Clean Air: Unpleasant emissions from road traffic are being reduced
- Cold air masses are blocked—energy losses are significantly reduced
- Reducing Sick Leave Among Ground Crew
