Berner International’s new commercial air curtain has received electric heat certification from the Air Movement & Control Association-International, offering commercial architects and engineers a way to reduce construction costs and potentially improve energy efficiency.

Berner‘s air curtains with Venturi heaters are mounted on the incoming airside of the blower wheel, warming air without interfering with movement. The AMCA certification on heated models gives designers more IECC building code compliant options when specifying air curtains in lieu of a vestibule.

The CHD10 Series with electric heat is typically specified in healthcare, hospitality, restaurant, supermarket and other commercial facilities to provide additional comfort over 7 to 10-foot-high front doors. The series comes with Berner’s Basic control package that can be upgraded to Deluxe for a time delay; or Comfort Plus for time delay and thermostatically controlled air comfort even when the door is closed.
