Modern door technology in listed building
… desk is behind an automatic all-glass door. © Aline Nédélec / GEZE GmbH A bright reception area thanks to automatic all-glass sliding doors. © Aline Nédélec / GEZE GmbH Automatic sliding door systems ensure accessibility Ensuring accessibility in the historic town hall was a key aim of the extensive renovation and modernisation project. The public areas are now bright and clear thanks to the automatic all-glass sliding doors installed in the foyer. The automatic doors ensure that the building is accessible to all visitors, including people with reduced mobility. Discreet design supplements historic architecture Automatic doors with GEZE Slimdrive door drive systems have been installed in the building’s foyer. With an installation height of just … centimetres, the door system blends in seamlessly with the historic architecture. One of the automatic sliding doors is behind an original door, which has been retained in the façade. This made it possible to retain the listed façade while ensuring modern access convenience within the building. Beyond the vestibule in the foyer, another automatic all-glass double sliding door leads to the reception desk. The sleek stainless steel fittings (for the all-glass sliding doors) meet the exacting design standards while also ensuring maximum transparency and allowing in as much light as possible. More about all-glass systems Access control systems separate public areas from offices. © Aline Nédélec / GEZE GmbH User-friendly access controls – a must for public buildings The benefits of modern door technology are clear to see in all parts of the building that need specific access authorisation. At La Rochelle’s historic town hall, two automatic doors provide access to administrative areas that only town hall employees are permitted to enter. A GEZE Slimdrive automatic door has been equipped with an access control system that only gives access to authorised persons. A second automatic door serves as a one-way exit from the offices into the foyer. Our modern door technology therefore supplements the historic architecture with accessibility and excellent convenience.

Smart building: Intelligent Development Centre
… desk. A pleasant ambience and state-of-the-art mobile media technology encourage brainstorming and unconventional solutions. Smart Work: Flexible working areas for agile working Each area or room in the building is accessible and barrier-free, and an optimal environment can be quickly created for each and every activity. If several teams with different requirements of light or indoor climate work in the same area, the configuration of light and ventilation sources can be changed at any time. Here’s an example: Individual room zones can be interconnected dynamically on a floor area by controlling the lighting via BUS systems. Direct and indirect lighting elements can be grouped, and desired lighting scenarios can be defined for individual work groups. Optimal illumination that also promises reduced eye strain can be achieved for the work area of a developer working on small-scale activities - even if another employee is comfortable with a good average light intensity. Settings can easily be created for different areas on a touch panel in the room. Likewise, all automated windows can be digitally grouped. Learn more about the benefits of natural ventilation A look into the msart development centre The working area The open-plan office offers short communication channels and comfortable ‘agile’ work thanks to the flexible workstation units. © Jürgen Pollak / GEZE GmbH Smart meeting rooms An ingenious sound absorption concept down to the smallest details acoustically decouples areas for meetings, walkways and individual desks. Touch panels for central operation Simple touch panel operation. © GEZE GmbH The open-plan office offers short communication channels and comfortable 'agile' work thanks to the flexible workstation units. An ingenious sound absorption concept designed down to the smallest details acoustically decouples areas for meetings, walkways and individual desks. Meeting corners or separate areas can be created for highly concentrated work in a quiet environment, while lighting and the indoor climate can be controlled by zones. The smart sliding shutters in front of the windows are activated depending on the light or solar radiation. Doors are automatically opened and locked at certain times of the day. At the end of working day, an automatic night-time closer is triggered. Find more information about building safety Central operation and monitoring with GEZE Cockpit There are hardly any push-button switches in the building. All product groups and elements of the room technology are visualised centrally on a single interface and can be monitored at a glance. Product group statuses are controlled and displayed either automatically on the basis of predefined scenarios, or by the employees themselves, of course, via touch panels. The indoor climate, media technology, lights, windows or doors can be controlled via a control panel by clicking on icons. The newly developed GEZE Cockpit building automation system makes all this possible. Its tasks and unique advantages are central visualisation, monitoring and operation of all integrated products. GEZE Cockpit also permits authorised users to activate the product groups and display their status, and have special authorisations via their PCs. Laboratory for smart possibilities There is nothing more obvious than using the smart development building for your own testing and learning. It will enable to us to answer questions such as what makes a building 'truly' smart, which networking applications bring the greatest increase in comfort, security and energy efficiency, and what networked features are needed in the building of tomorrow. It also offers the best conditions for testing the interoperability of smart GEZE products and other product groups under real conditions, i.e. with the people who work there daily. The intelligent building allows flexible grouping and the addition or replacement of products, so that new networking solutions can be tried and tested over and over again. The insights gained are used to continually develop the intelligence of all smart GEZE products and expand and roll out the benefits for users with the aid of GEZE Cockpit. The building automation system can be operated as an independent system, or integrated with the BACnet and KNX communication standards in an overarching building control system. Data communication between GEZE Cockpit and the integrated products and systems takes place via interface modules. In addition to the visualisation of all integrated products in a central location, the smart system offers a unique added value: for the first time, it is possible to incorporate the complete intelligence of GEZE products - i.e. all available control options and status information - into the building network. Doors and windows can thus be controlled and monitored with the highest degree of precision. Examples include the exact knowledge of the status of a door or a window, the value of a sensor, or feedback from a command that has been executed and alarm messages. GEZE Cockpit offers many other benefits: increased building security, predictive maintenance and efficient building management. Increased security and short distances through smart networking With more than one hundred multifunctional doors and windows integrated into the building management system, building managers are always aware of the status of each door or window. You can centrally open or close them as needed, change the operating mode of a door and be sure that all elements in the building shell are locked or bolted. Time-consuming inspection rounds are eliminated. Commands can be issued for single, multiple or all doors (central locking). Individual door-scenarios can be saved in GEZE Cockpit, so that doors can be automatically opened, closed or locked as controlled either by time or triggered by an event. All processes on a door - and therefore also irregularities - are reported back. Whatever happens at a door, immediate action can be taken. Find out more about automatic doors 'Climate goals' for pleasant and smart working Various scenarios, e.g. the 'climate-active façade' and the 'preconditioning' of rooms are currently being tested in the smart building in connection with GEZE Cockpit. Optimal air quality is essential for a pleasant office environment. Meeting rooms should be ventilated again ahead of use. Scenarios created in the building management system ensure intelligent, energy-efficient interaction between product groups. The smart façade technology responds automatically to changes in the external climatic conditions. The blind is lowered automatically when there is solar radiation. Smart windows open or close depending on the outside temperature. The centrally controlled automatically night-time cooling down of devices has already created a good indoor climate at the beginning of the day. In this scenario, the IQ windowdrive range of RWA drives and GEZE's Powerturn swing door operators, presence, location, air quality and temperature sensors, heating, ventilation and the air conditioning system, lighting and shading and the room occupancy system interact with each other to control the windows and ventilation flaps and the fresh air doors. Smart bodyguards on automated windows Window safety system as intelligent sensor solutions in the building bus secure the windows integrated into the building management system in all generally accessible building areas. The intelligence remains 'local' because the information from the safety sensors takes precedence. Ventilation will be delayed or stopped if there is an obstacle in the window opening such as a hand and closing operations have already been initiated by the building regulation due to sensor information (rain, wind or temperature). More information about window safety systems Optimum climate: Smart Actuators control each other GEZE is also testing a very unique combination of air conditioning, window drives and weather sensors. The smart actuators control each other depending on the sensors' data. For a highly efficient and energy-saving air conditioning, the performance of the air conditioning system is intended to automatically adapt to the exact opening width of a window. A constant balance between the outside and the preset room ambient temperature for climate control in the individual room zones on each building level is also tested by the interaction of heating, ventilation and air conditioning. When programming the scenarios, physical parameters such as the size and position of a room in the building have been taken into account thoroughly via the building management system.

Two automatic sliding doors lead to the reception desk. The doors, which are motorised with the GEZE ECdrive T2 , are discreet and efficient, and blend in perfectly with the interior architecture of the hotel. The door leaves are set directly into the stone wall, allowing them to disappear fully automatically and almost silently when pushed, saving space in a highly aesthetic manner. This allows the streamlined design of the ECdrive T2 to integrate even more unobtrusively into the design concept. The sliding door system is also ideal for doors in high-traffic areas, as is often the case in the hotel and restaurant industry. Energy efficiency is also optimised in combination with the GCprofile Therm profile system.

The solar protection retracts immediately and the window drives open in the event of an alarm from the smoke detector or a manual signal. All RWA components, and push buttons, smoke detectors and sensors, are networked via the MBZ 300 RWA bus centre. The flexibly configurable control unit monitors and co-ordinates the function of RWA system, and safeguards its power and emergency power supply. Thanks to the connection to the constructor's KNX building system, the RWA system also provides convenient daily ventilation, as well as building safety. GEZE RWA drives: Fresh air – a secured emergency exit The fanlights in the atrium, which are automated with Slimchain drives, also supply the internal kitchenettes on each storey and corridors with fresh air in normal circumstances. If a fire breaks out, the fanlights are closed immediately, so that smoke and heat do not enter the levels. At the same time, synchronised Powerchain chain drives open several large façade windows in the first floor to ensure that fresh air streams in from outside. The synchronised power packages enable maximum window opening in less than 60 seconds.
