Staveley, Derbyshire's Healthy Living Centre has installed Dimplex ARC architectural air curtains as part of a list of energy saving measures.

The £8m health, sport and leisure centre, which opened in March 2008, generates up to 40 per cent of its energy requirements from low carbon sources.

The Dimplex ARC architectural air curtains are claimed to limit heat losses through the doors while contributing to the design aesthetics of the building.

The air curtains feature automatic heat and fan speed control dependant on footfall through the door, adjustable thermostatic operation and links to integrate the units within a BMS/BEMS building energy management system, said to provide close control over running costs.

A choice of painted, brushed or polished stainless steel finishes are offered, and when wider entrances are required multiple units can be linked together as a continuous system, operated from a single control point.
