ARE12-2072A Common Applications

Office Building Main Double-Door Entrances

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

Retail Store Main Entrances

The 6-foot width covers standard double-door entrances at retail locations where the unit must remain hidden. The recessed installation provides climate control while maintaining clean ceiling lines in stores where exposed HVAC equipment would disrupt interior design aesthetics.

Restaurant Main Entrance and Private Dining Areas

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 Main Lobby Entrances

In healthcare facilities, the recessed installation works at main lobby double 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.

Convention Center Meeting Room and Ballroom Doors

At convention centers, the 6-foot unit works on ballroom and large meeting room doors where climate separation is needed but visible equipment would compromise interior finishes. The flush installation maintains clean ceiling lines in event spaces.

Warehouse and Distribution Facility Personnel Doors

In warehousing and distribution facilities with mid-height ceilings, the ARE12 handles wide personnel doors between warehouse and office areas. The recessed installation keeps the unit hidden while providing climate separation at doorways with 10-12 foot mounting heights.
