Airtecnics North America: Advanced Air Curtains for Energy Efficiency and Climate Control
Air curtains are a practical solution for maintaining indoor comfort while reducing energy costs. They work by creating an invisible barrier over doorways, separating indoor and outdoor environments. This helps stabilize indoor temperatures, minimizes HVAC energy consumption, and supports a healthier indoor environment.
At Airtecnics North America, we specialize in providing advanced air curtain solutions tailored to the needs of diverse industries. Our products combine performance, reliability, and energy efficiency, making them an ideal choice for modern buildings.
How Air Curtains Improve Efficiency
Every open door is a potential energy loss. Whether in retail stores, warehouses, or offices, doors allow conditioned air to escape and external air to enter, placing strain on HVAC systems.
Air curtains address this problem by generating a high-velocity airflow across the doorway, creating a barrier that limits air exchange. This reduces the load on heating and cooling systems, leading to significant energy savings. Studies have shown that properly installed air curtains can cut energy losses by up to 80%.
For businesses in Canada and the USA, where weather conditions range from extreme cold to intense heat, air curtains are an effective tool for improving energy efficiency.
Key Features of Airtecnics Air Curtains
Airtecnics air curtains stand out for their robust design, advanced technology, and versatility. Some of the key features include:
- EC Motor Technology: Airtecnics models use energy-efficient EC motors, which deliver precise airflow while minimizing power consumption. These motors are ideal for businesses looking to reduce operational costs.
- Advanced Controls: The new Advanced PRO Control system simplifies the operation of air curtains, allowing users to adjust settings like fan speed and heating modes with precision. This improves efficiency and ensures consistent performance.
- Flexible Heating Options: Airtecnics air curtains can be configured with electric, water-based, or no heating, making them adaptable to different building requirements.
These features ensure that Airtecnics air curtains deliver reliable performance while keeping energy use in check.
Applications Across Industries
One of the strengths of Airtecnics air curtains is their versatility. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Retail Spaces: Models like the ZEN and INVISAIR are popular for their sleek design and quiet operation, making them ideal for stores, malls, and restaurants. They maintain indoor comfort while encouraging foot traffic with an open-door policy.
- Industrial Facilities: The WB series is built for heavy-duty use in warehouses and production facilities, where it provides robust climate control and helps reduce heating and cooling costs.
- Healthcare and Offices: INVISAIR is designed for environments where aesthetics and silent operation are critical. Its discreet installation makes it a preferred choice for healthcare facilities and modern office buildings.
- Architectural and Modern Interiors: The RUND air curtain, with its sleek cylindrical shape, integrates seamlessly into modern architectural designs. It is a stylish choice for spaces that prioritize both aesthetics and functionality, such as high-end retail stores, restaurants, and contemporary offices.
- Transportation Hubs and Large Entrances: The ROTOWIND model is specifically engineered for revolving doors, providing tailored climate control for spaces like airports, hotels, and corporate lobbies. Its ability to match the curvature of revolving door structures makes it a practical and visually cohesive solution for high-traffic areas.

Proven Performance in Real-World Installations
Airtecnics air curtains have demonstrated their effectiveness in improving energy efficiency and indoor comfort in diverse North American settings. Two notable examples highlight their value:
Retail Success: IKEA, Ottawa At IKEA’s location in Ottawa, Windbox WB air curtains have proven instrumental in reducing energy loss while ensuring a consistently comfortable shopping environment. The air curtains maintain the desired indoor temperature even during peak customer traffic, helping the retailer achieve operational efficiency without compromising comfort.
Airport Efficiency: JFK Airport, New York At John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, Airtecnics tackled a unique challenge at entrances with oversized revolving doors. To accommodate high passenger traffic while improving energy efficiency, Rotowind air curtains were installed. Custom-designed to fit the curvature of the doors, these air curtains incorporate high-efficiency EC fans and hot water heating, creating an invisible barrier to separate indoor and outdoor environments. The installation not only enhanced the flow of passengers but also reduced HVAC energy demand, improved traveler comfort, and preserved the airport’s architectural harmony.
These installations demonstrate how Airtecnics air curtains address the complex climate control needs of North American businesses, providing energy savings and operational benefits tailored to specific applications.
