Berner Introduces Air Curtain Cabinet Redesign for Main Entrances
Berner International introduces the Architectural Elite, the debuting model of the company’s new Architectural Collection.
The sleek and discreet cabinet design incorporates the company’s strong engineering foundation to deliver a quiet, technologically advanced air curtain. The design’s performance is AMCA certified and meets the vestibule exception of building and energy codes, ASHRAE 90.1-2019; ASHRAE 189.1; the IECC -2015, and the IgCC.
The triangular shape targets U.S. and Canadian architects, interior designers and business owners searching for a quiet, functional air curtain performance that matches today’s retail, restaurant, hotel, and hospital doorway design aesthetics.
The design has a clear satin, anodized aluminum bottom panel as it angles upward out of peripheral vision when passing through a doorway. Once inside, the only visible parts are the smooth, upward-pointed bottom panel and triangular-shaped sides.
The Architectural Elite also features Berner AIR advanced technology control platform for air curtains. This platform uses a wireless controller, encrypted at the processor level, to connect the Berner App 2.0 to a built-in Intelliswitch digital controller. The controller can operate as a standalone air curtain controller, interlock with any building management system and interface with the App 2.0. It has a time clock, time delay, built-in thermostat, 10-speed fan control, and other integrated, end-user customizable features.
The app allows account-based user management and lets facility managers add air curtains from different locations for programming and universal monitoring from their smartphone. The Berner AIR platform includes BACnet integration capabilities, a proactive weather-based adaptive setting and simplified remote troubleshooting resources for factory technicians.
