High street stores are wasting an astonishing £300 million a year in energy bills by adopting an open door policy leaving their doors open in all weathers.

Retailers are coming under pressure from shoppers and government waste watchdogs to stop heating their outlets to tropical temperatures and then keeping their doors wide open to lure in shoppers.
The carbon Trust, which is funded by the government, wants stores to keep their doors closed.

A spokesman said "shoppers and suppliers require easy store access but open doors allow warmed air to escape and cold air to enter."
"The thermostat then senses a temperature decrease and automatically switches on heating which may be unnecessary. The same happens with cooled air in warmer months."

It is one simple, painless step that every business can take to cut energy waste. Businesses in the UK spend in the region of £1.6 billion on energy each year, of which 20% is wasted due to poor practices.
Why would you want to contribute to £300 million lost through wasted energy? You save on your energy bills, reduce your CO2 emissions and your customers know that you care.

Climate change is now a global concern. To tackle this as matter of urgency we are all urged to keep our CO2 output as low as possible. There is a large amount of political emphasis on energy conservation
"Open doors are meant to entice customers to step inside, but with the UNITED NATIONS predicting that billions will suffer from the effects of global warming it is morally indefensible to waste energy in this way."

We feel that having your main entrance to your premises controlled via an automatic operating system will drastically improve on your carbon foot print and save you hundreds of pounds a year, yet still allow you to keep a semi ‘open-door’ policy. The usage of an automatic door will allow for a door to remain closed, thus cutting hot air wastage and heating bills, yet will open on approach giving the same welcoming feel as a true open door policy, whilst giving the additional benefits usually associated with automated entrances; easier access for the elderly, infirm, and those laden with shopping.
