Hermetically sealing doors by GEZE at the Warsaw Children Clinic
… ray area, where reliable shielding from the rays is crucial. Reliable and quiet – sliding and swing door systems by GEZE Practical and hygienic: TSA 160 NT-F swing door systems. © H. Łukasz Janicki / GEZE Polska EC drive sliding door systems ensure fast and reliable automatic opening of frequently used doors, e.g. in service areas. EC drive door drives handle countless movement cycles of door leaves of up to 120 kg with a consistently high level of barrier-free comfort. With a rounded drive cover, this economical drive solution also supports the uniform look of the many stainless steel doors throughout the clinic building. Powerdrive and EC drive sliding door system offer optimal ease of access. Their hold-open time adapts to the usage frequency. If the stream of visitors is higher, the door leaves are automatically kept open for longer. The movement parameters of the door leaves can be adjusted individually. GEZE technology is also in use on the automatic swing doors. The quiet electro-hydraulic TSA 160 NT swing door drive easily and discreetly moves even heavy swing doors with leaf weights. All parameters, such as the opening and closing speed, obstacle detection or hold-open time can be adapted according to the building use. The ‘Push & Go’ function, which can be switched on or off, allows the door drive to be controlled by briefly pressing the door leaf. Barrier-free and hygienic electric strikes – radar detectors and elbow switches by GEZE In clinics, being able to enter and open doors ‘without barriers’ and the best possible hygiene for activation devices are essential. The GEZE GC 307+ opens automatic doors without any contact at all. A light hand movement in front of the push button is sufficient. In particularly time-critical situations, a door is already open, for example, before the doctor reaches it. Swing doors also open by briefly touching the door leaf thanks to a ‘Push & Go” solution. In other cases, the control is activated via GEZE elbow switches These push buttons can also be activated using the elbow to open the door sooner. Hygienic push buttons with antibacterial copper surfaces prevent the spread of germs throughout the clinic. Forward-thinking: automatic door systems State-of-the-art controls make GEZE automatic door systems fit for the future. They can be combined with the GEZE SecuLogic rescue route and access control system. The system integration in the building management system also allows door functions to be monitored or changed remotely. Manual doors are kept closed throughout the clinic with GEZE door closer systems for preventive fire protection. From the smallest overhead door closer to the multi-faceted variations for use with fire and smoke protection doors, the door closer systems offer many individual adjustment options: For example, double-leaf doors were equipped with the TS 5000 ISM variants. The closing sequence control integrated in the guide rail ensures the correct closing sequence of both door leaves. The active leaf is kept open, and therefore ‘waits’ until the passive leaf is closed to ensure reliable door closure.

GEZE fanlight openers: suitable for all uses and robust
… rays in sports halls. Comfortable ventilation can be provided at any time as needed, however. Hazard-free ventilation: fanlights in a school sports hall. © Exorbitart / GEZE GmbH Advantages of fanlights Daylight enters deeper into rooms, and rooms become lighter. Their position and limited opening angle increase safety. Fanlights can be optimally used for creating emphasis in the façades, since they are available in many designs and fitting variants. A comfortable indoor climate is created via ventilation and air extraction, without any draughts. Automatic and manual fanlight openers Attractive design: GEZE E 170 scissor drive for fanlight openers © Dirk Wilhelmy / GEZE GmbH Fanlight windows can be opened or have fixed glazing. To guarantee simple and safe operation, fanlights are equipped with special window hardware, or more specifically fanlight openers. They fold down or tilt the fanlights outwards or inwards. They work manually via push-rods, for example, which are operated by hand levers or crank rods. Alternatively, fanlights can be opened automatically by electric drives. GEZE fanlight opener: suitable for all uses Manual GEZE fanlight opener systems, in the form of inward opening bottom-hung or top-hung leaves and outward opening top-hung windows, work easily and reliably for daily ventilation. They can be applied to many types of frames (wood, plastic or aluminium) and for many forms of windows (rectangular, inclined, triangle, round or segmental arch windows). Operating elements like hand levers or crank rods allow for flexible adjustments and convenient operation of many different window shapes and installation situations. Manually operated fanlight openers can be combined with GEZE electronic drives . This makes the windows power-operated, i.e. automatically opening fanlights. The drives open the fanlights for ventilation, with switches for easy operation. This means that several windows, or even large and heavy windows, can easily be opened at the same time. Fanlight opener systems by GEZE They leave façade designs unaffected, since the flat scissor design and the bar assembly require only a minimum amount of space. They assure optimal ventilation and air extraction via an opening width of up to 320 mm. They can be used for comfortable, daily ventilation. They are easily and reliably opened, either manually or electronically. They also open wide and heavy leaves. They can be used with any material (wood, plastic or metal windows) and various window forms (rectangular, inclined, triangle, round or segmental arch windows).

Night-time back cooling – energy-efficient air conditioning
… rays enter rooms via large glass windows. People begin to lose concentration and their performance deteriorates. The building must be cooled so that people who are in the room feel comfortable and remain mentally fit, despite high outside temperatures. However, air conditioning systems significantly increase the level of investment, maintenance costs and energy consumption of a building. Office and administration buildings often need more energy to cool rooms in spring and summer than to heat them in autumn and winter. Mechanical ventilation systems are also energy-intensive and, due to their continuous operation, are true ’power guzzlers’. Night-time ventilation saves energy By comparison, controlled natural ventilation saves a considerable amount of energy. It uses the natural pressure differences between at least two openings (e.g. windows, doors) of a building to the outside for air exchange. Such a pressure gradient already exists in weak winds. Power-driven fans are therefore unnecessary. For night-time back cooling , automatically controlled windows direct the heat generated by solar radiation and internal sources to the outside during the night and cool, fresh air to the inside. The supplied fresh air ensures a pleasant indoor climate through pleasant temperature and good air quality. Cool night air as a natural cold source The cool night air acts as a natural source of cold - and this makes night-time back cooling not only sustainable and energy-efficient, but also natural and environmentally friendly. In new buildings, this building air conditioning is increasingly combined with thermal core activation. Pipes are laid in building masses, e.g. concrete ceilings. Water flows through these pipes as a heating or cooling medium. Ideally, this would eliminate the need for very energy-intensive air conditioning systems. Convenient automation through central control Automatic night-time back cooling: useful for public buildings © Jürgen Pollak / GEZE GmbH Automatic night-time back cooling is particularly suitable for public buildings, office buildings, sports facilities or schools. In these large buildings, energy-efficient ventilation, a healthy indoor climate and the monitoring of window conditions are central requirements. Modern window technology ensures optimum night-time back cooling. It ensures that entire window fronts or window groups are automatically controlled when no one is present. A central control unit ensures ventilation scenarios such as ventilation periods can be defined and easily changed. Night-time back cooling in modern building concepts Modern parallel-opening vent windows support night-time back cooling. Even with modern glass façades with so-called parallel-opening vent windows, automatic night-time back cooling is possible. Here, the window leaves open in parallel to the outside as a whole which means that the appearance of the glass façade is not impaired – for example by reflections from tilted windows. At the same time, the parallel opening of the window ensures optimum air exchange. Cool air can flow in from below at the same time as warm, stale air escapes upwards. Compared to tilted windows, parallel-opening vent windows achieve a much higher air exchange rate with the same opening width. ‘Smart Buildings’ through networking The automatic window control for night ventilation can be networked with the building control, which controls e.g. blinds, awnings and shutters as well as heating, air conditioning, lighting and alarm systems. If the building technology automated in this way reacts automatically to climatic influences and changes, it turns buildings into ‘ Smart Buildings ’. Intelligent control and window drives from GEZE The automatic window controls from GEZE enable natural night-time back cooling - regardless of whether they have to open small light or large heavy façade windows, roof windows or skylight domes. This is because the window drives can be controlled precisely and allow a variably adjustable opening width for each window. This enables individual ventilation concepts according to customer needs. Sensors ensure complete safety: presence detectors monitor the closing edges and prevent injuries due to automatic opening and closing. Wind and rain sensors give signals to close the windows and protect the building stock from damage. Via the IQ box KNX interface module, the window drives from GEZE's IQ windowdrive series can be connected to the KNX building bus. This means that all automated windows can be monitored and operated centrally. Requirements for automatic window-based night-time back cooling A moderate climate: the outside temperatures at night must be well below the temperatures in the building for a sufficient period of time. Good outdoor air quality: Few odours, pollutants, fine dust Protection against burglary: windows can be controlled separately in accessible areas such as the ground floor; protection by means of window guards or by special construction (parallel-opening vent windows) In heavy rain or wind: structural weather protection or automatic closing of opened windows Planning Installation Planning Installation Comprehensive support GEZE supports planning and invitation for tenders by means of project consultancy tender texts for architects CAD drawings ideas for improving building efficiency information on the use of modern façade structures Fast and straightforward project implementation GEZE supports installation companies and installers with a fast and uncomplicated project handling with the configuration software WinCalc
How healing architecture works at the SJD hospital
… ray rooms, and specialised area for immunocompromised patients are located, is equipped with highly hygienic doors and the Powerdrive PL-HT automatic linear sliding door system, specially created for large and heavy doors in areas with increased hygiene requirements. They are accessible, low-contact and easy to clean, making them an excellent choice for highly sensitive areas. A hermetic seal is created by lowering and pressing the door leaf against the frame structure. In addition, a full circumferential sealing system with sealing corners reduces the air permeability of the closed sliding door system. LEARN MORE ABOUT HYGIENIC DOORS Hygienic and accessible door opening thanks to radar movement detectors In areas with high hygiene requirements, the GC 307+ non-contact proximity switch also makes it possible to activate automatic doors without actually touching them. The radar movement detector detects persons and objects within a detection area of 10 to 60 cm, allowing the doors to be opened effortlessly, hygienically, d accessibly. In addition, the scanning ranges are adjustable to optimally adapt the sensors to the prevailing ambient conditions and user needs, so doors do not open unnecessarily each time someone passes by, for instance. LEARN MORE ABOUT RADAR MOVEMENT DETECTORS Note Instead of the Powerdrive PL-HT, GEZE now offers the MCRdrive, a new sliding door system that scores highly with a range of advantages, especially for hygienically sensitive areas of application. More about the GEZE MCRdrive Safety and discretion despite an open design inside Multiple factors play a role in the design inside the oncology centre: here as well, ensuring a barrier-free environment is a key priority. The indoor climate, hygiene, and the energy efficiency of the building are also relevant factors. The powerful Powerturn swing door drive is used in corridors and rooms where heavy fire protection doors need to be moved. It is particularly well-suited for large and heavy door leaves, and allows for large opening widths as well, like those needed in hospital operation. Additional advantages of the Powerturn for the hospital: To ensure smooth and safe operation depending on applicable needs and usage areas, the opening and closing speeds, as well as the closing force are individually adjustable from EN4-7. The low energy function ensures doors open and close at reduced speeds, so that they fulfil the highest safety requirements. Motorised support for manual door opening via the servo function is an advantage in particular for users with restricted mobility. Obstacle detection stops the opening or closing process once an obstacle is detected, to avoid potential accidents and damage. Good to know: the Powerturn F/R can be installed for escape and rescue routes at required locations.
