Albany Offers Free Remote Monitoring on All Therma Series Doors
Albany is excited to announce that, for a limited time, all ThermaChill and ThermaFreeze doors will include the smart, new Remote Monitoring technology. This unique system allows you to monitor your cold storage door at any time, and from anywhere.
We understand how important it is to maintain proper temperatures in cold storage environments. Albany doors are designed to protect products, and we’re doing that with every innovation possible.
If a door is left in the open position, cold air leaves. Cold air is expensive. In humidity controlled environments, it’s not just the cost of cold air that is a factor. The wrong humidity can cause product loss or damage. Remote Monitoring can preempt and prevent such disastrous situations. This system allows users to conveniently monitor all Albany doors at a facility, from a remote location, saving both time and tremendous amounts of money.
Albany’s insulated ThermaChill door is a favorite in the industry. The ThermaChill reduces energy costs and increases productivity with fast opening speeds of up to 130” per second. Albany’s ThermaFreeze door can be equipped with our UltraDefrost System and heated side frames to protect against extreme humidity and prevent ice build-up.
When you order a ThermaChill or ThermaFreeze door today, you will also receive a free six-month trial of the Remote Monitoring service. You will be able to monitor your door’s performance on the web or on your cell phone. You can receive updates and alerts on the status of the door via email or text messages.
Our Remote Monitoring system is powered and controlled by the performance-enhancing MCC door controller. The user-friendly web interface for the Remote Monitoring system allows high speed door users to identify if a door is blocked, has malfunctioned or if someone is tampering with or impacting the door. This is a system that provides increased security and increased protection for your products, and your bottom line. Save time, save energy and save costs with Albany’s industry-leading Remote Monitoring system.
High Speed for LEED: Albany Doors in The Construction Specifier Magazine
High speed doors are the focus of a recent article in The Construction Specifier magazine. The article explains how high speed doors can help buildings conserve energy and potentially earn LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. Photos of Albany’s UltraSecure 3000 high speed metal door, ThermaFreeze cold storage door, and UltraTough M&I rubber door are featured throughout the article.
The article details how much energy can be saved when industrial facilities install high speed doors in place of traditional or rolling metal doors.
“The U.S. building sector alone ate up eight percent of global primary energy consumption in 2008. At this time, total building energy consumption in the United States was almost 50 percent higher than consumption in 1980.1 These, and previous, similar findings have led to various research, design, policy, and regulatory initiatives. LEED seeks to bring together all the involved factors to lower the overall footprint of the building sector. Industrial businesses, which often run large, energy-hungry facilities are taking note, and recognizing the benefits of programs like LEED. While there are many ways to lower energy costs, specifying high-speed doors for interior and exterior applications can easily reduce energy consumption in industrial facilities” -Excerpt from High Speed for LEED
The article also explains just how high speed doors fit into particular LEED categories, and can potentially earn points for LEED certification.
“High-speed doors can help a project qualify for recognition in LEED’s Energy and Atmosphere (EA) category. They contribute Credit 2, Minimum Energy Performance, and Credit 1, Optimize Energy Performance. Within the Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) category, high speed doors may earn points for:
-Credit 1, Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance
-Credit 5, Indoor Chemical and Pollutant Source Control; and
-Credit 8, Daylight and Views” -Excerpt from High Speed for LEED
