ARD12-1048AA Common Applications

Office Building Main Entrances

For office buildings with 10-12 foot ceiling heights, the ARD12 works as a vestibule alternative while remaining completely hidden above entrance doors. The unit meets ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019 requirements as a vestibule replacement, which can save construction costs and floor space.

Retail Store Customer Entrances

The recessed installation provides climate control at retail entrance doors while keeping the unit hidden above the doorway. The flush ceiling mount maintains clean visual lines in stores where exposed HVAC equipment would disrupt interior design aesthetics.

Restaurant Main Dining Room Doors

In food service operations with standard ceiling heights, the recessed unit provides climate control and insect barriers at customer entrance doors. The hidden installation maintains dining room aesthetics while blocking flies and maintaining temperature separation.

Healthcare Facility Lobby and Waiting Area Entrances

In healthcare facilities, the recessed installation works at main lobby doors where maintaining air quality and professional appearance both matter. The flush ceiling mount minimizes surfaces where dust can collect in spaces requiring regular cleaning and infection control.

Educational Institution Main Building Doors

For education facilities, the ARE12 handles main building entrance doors where the unit must blend into architectural finishes. The recessed design maintains professional aesthetics in spaces with 10-12 foot ceilings that are highly visible to students and visitors.

Convention Center Meeting Room Entrances

At convention centers, the recessed unit works on meeting room doors where climate separation is needed but visible equipment would compromise interior finishes. The flush installation maintains clean ceiling lines in spaces used for corporate events and conferences.
