Free eBook for Optimizing New Buildings
The access door represents the business card of a building. Today, it has the power to elevate or lower the class of a building. The access door in an office building thus becomes an element that can no longer be treated superficially.
5 criteria to consider when choosing the entrance door for an office building (complete information is included in the eBook, download it below):
1. Design
Being one of the most visible elements of a building, the entrance door, through its design, functionality, and concept, must elevate the class of the building. So when choosing a door for the entrance, you must consider the impact it can have on the entire building.
2. Energy
The entrance door of a building actively contributes to the energy economy, both thermal and electrical. You can thus increase the building’s score for obtaining the green certificate. A suitable choice for a glass door for building access is the revolving door, which can be equipped with systems that help reduce energy consumption.
3. Functionality
Depending on the size of the building and its function, the entrance door may handle a very large flow of people or may require access control systems. Regardless of the flow the door handles, it must be equipped with a break-out evacuation system.


4. Costs
Most often, the allure of the lowest cost leads to major expenses once the door is put into operation. When choosing an access door for the building, the expenses it will generate over a medium operating period of 10 years must be considered.
5. Maintenance
Proper and timely maintenance will reduce the costs generated by the entrance door of a building during its operation. Being a glass door that handles a large flow of people, the building access door requires special attention and periodic, especially proper, maintenance.
