EspañolClose Your Door for Big Electricity Savings
As we close our doors the saving on electricity is kept inside your wallet.
A properly shut door provides comfort and protection to whoever is using the space behind it. However, closing doors can have a wider impact on overall building performance. Fully closed doors impact both user security and a building’s energy consumption. Keep your door closed to enjoy the savings on electricity bills.

Watch the door, so we can save on electricity.
The public spotlight is on energy like never before, as recent measures introduced around Europe show. By law, Spanish offices, shops, and hospitality spaces may only heat or cool premises to between 19°C and 23°C. In France, air-conditioned shops can be fined up to €750 if their doors are left open.
Notice the big savings on power bills as we seal doors and windows.
A drive to improve energy efficiency across the commercial sector has been underway for a long time. In 2017, the Harvard Business Review was already calling energy efficiency one of the “key levers of business success”.
In the public sector and private industry, offices, in schools, universities, healthcare centers, and elsewhere, organizations need solutions that boost sustainability and their bottom line.
Buildings consume around 60% of the world’s electricity. One very simple and effective way to reduce their use and waste – and at the same time, save costs – is to ensure doors are closed.
The many benefits on our electricity bill of a fully closed door.
The energy efficiency benefits of a closed door are simple to understand. It is less easy to quantify the impact, but scientific studies agree it is significant.
In 2010, Cambridge University estimated that closed doors could reduce energy use in a typical shop by up to 50%. An engineering journal measured air infiltration through an opening at more than 21 times that of a closed door.
Inside a building, a closed door helps to maintain important temperature differentials – between an operating theatre and waiting rooms, for example, or a server room and office spaces. Closing doors reduces the energy used to heat or cool these distinct areas.
Fully closed interior doors also reduce the stack effect – unwanted inward airflow on the ground floor which is caused by rising warm air inside the building.

Closed doors help insulate the inside of a building from the elements outside. They reduce energy waste. They also improve interior air quality and building security, as well as minimizing noise pollution.
