Horton Automatics released its latest data analysis report, “How to Calculate Total Ownership Costs When Specifying Door Entrance Systems.” Designed for specifiers, architects, and building owners, the report introduces a data-driven approach to evaluating entrance systems based on long-term performance rather than upfront cost alone.
Selecting the right entrance system has become increasingly complex. Horton’s new report outlines a clear, step-by-step process for calculating total ownership costs—including energy consumption, maintenance, and lifecycle performance—over a 20-year period.
At the core of the report is a comprehensive analysis comparing three common entrance system types: revolving doors, automatic sliding doors, and single swing doors.
The report’s methodology incorporates key variables that significantly influence performance, including door configuration, building usage patterns, and regional climate zones. Each door type is also evaluated for its contribution to overall building sustainability.
“With increasing pressure to meet energy codes and sustainability targets, architects need reliable data they can act on,” says Elias Campos, vice president of marketing at Horton Automatics. “This report brings clarity to the specification process and helps ensure that the chosen entrance system delivers measurable value over time.”
