Dimplex air curtains add to Healthy Living

Efficiency and aesthetics — Dimplex ARC air curtains have been installed in the Healthy Living Centre in Staveley, Derbyshire.
As part of an extensive list of energy-saving measures, the new Healthy Living Centre in Staveley, Derbyshire, has fitted Dimplex ARC architectural air curtains. This £8 million centre generates up to 40% of its energy requirements from low-carbon sources. The Dimplex architectural air curtains limit heat losses through the entrance doors, while providing the right aesthetics for this cutting-edge building. Barrie Midgley from the Hurst Group, which worked on the project, says, ‘Dimplex air curtains weren’t originally specified by the consultant, but we realised we needed a product that was not only energy efficient but would be lightweight and look good in this statement building. ‘The original air curtains specified were three times heavier than the Dimplex ones. In a building of this type, with almost a full-glass frontage, that extra weight would mean extra costs for structural support. ‘The look and design of the building was particularly important, and we were able to match the trademark blue colour used throughout the building with the ARC air curtains finished in blue also.’ The air curtains have adjustable thermostatic operation and links to fully integrate with the BEMS.
