FAST SAVINGS
July 1st 2005

Oil prices and climate issues mean that any saving made on heating benefits not only affect the profitability of a company, but the environment too.

Ro-Dor is keen to illustrate the kind of savings that can be made when an energy efficient door is installed.

It cites the case of a customer with a 5 by 5m door that remains open 8h/day. The inside temperature is 18°C. Outside the average temperature is reckoned to be 8°C (calculated in the colder months when heating is on), with average wind speeds of 11km/h.

The customer needs heating for 120 days/year.

Installing a Dynaco door with an opening time of 20sec/cycle and 200 cycles per day would save £32 000 per year (based on a heating cost of 0.4p per kWh.
