Quote.
“The benefits for Home Depot Canada have been improved working conditions, greater efficiency, and the ability to reduce equipment noise.”
Design considerations
- Heating to the cashier area
- Create an air barrier at the retail store’s public entrances/exits: average door size 72″ W x 96″ H
- Create an air barrier at the contractor lumber doors: average door size 240″ W x 144″ H
- Energy-efficient equipment
- Noise level reduction compared to existing equipment
Implementation results
Working in cooperation with the WSP Team, Schwank designed and implemented an energy-saving equipment upgrade for Home Depot Retail Stores. With a system approach in mind, the Select12 Series air curtains were installed on the vestibule entranceway/exit doors, along with Epic14 Series air curtains on the contractor (lumber) entrance doors. In addition, superTube Modulating tube heaters were added above the cashier stations to keep the area warm.
