GERMANY’S “THE CUBE” EMBRACES SUSTAINABILITY WITH BOON EDAM REVOLVING DOORS

GERMANY’S “THE CUBE” EMBRACES SUSTAINABILITY WITH BOON EDAM REVOLVING DOORS | #TpromoCom #Security #DoorHardware #AccessControl | Boon Edam Inc., a global leader in security entrances and architectural revolving doors, today announced that The Cube, a smart commercial building in downtown Berlin, Germany, has installed four Crystal TQ all-glass revolving doors at various entrances around the facility to save on energy consumption and blend in with the glass facade (LRG Marketing). https://bit.ly/3dT4ZPQ

The brainchild of 3XN Architects, The Cube is an architectural masterpiece and iconic landmark that showcases the most cutting-edge, smart technologies and embraces design and sustainability.

A Commercial Office “Work of Art”

Built on both sides of Berlin Central Station in the emerging urban district of the Europacity, The Cube was the vision of architects and designers at 3XN with the goal of creating a commercial building that could make a statement in an innovative and show-stopping way. The cubic office building has an all-glass, mirrored facade, with multiple bends in the glass to create facets. The facility is 10-stories high and houses various tenants, offering features such as a ground-level food market and office lobby, underground parking, indoor gardens, a rooftop terrace, and optional conference areas. The floor-to-ceiling windows throughout provide abundant natural light and ventilation.

In an interview with ArchDaily.com, Torben Østergaard, a 3XN partner in charge of the project, said, "When we began the design process, our ambition was to create a building that would contribute to the animation of the square. We wanted to engage pedestrians passing by while providing top-notch office spaces. We also wanted this project to offer new value to the Berlin skyline while exploring new ways for buildings to interact with their surroundings. Given the location conditions, we proposed a sculpted design approach that would reflect the site's scale and honor its character as an important public space."

Upgraded Revolving Door Entrances to Support Sustainability

Boon Edam was commissioned to install four Crystal TQ manual revolving doors to further complement the energy-conscious philosophy of The Cube. Revolving doors operate under the principle of “always open, yet always closed,” maintaining a constant seal between the exterior environment and interior building lobby. The Crystal TQ manual revolving door is constructed from virtually all glass with only the most minimal stainless-steel components to support the glass drum and door wings. For decades, it has been one of the first choices for both contemporary statement buildings and historical buildings alike. The door is available in 3- or 4-wing configurations and is easy for the public to push through. Go to: security entrances and architectural revolving doors.

Boon Edam’s New Mapping Tool Enables Long-Term Entrance Planning | #TpromoCom #AccessControl #DoorHardware #Security | BoonSelect is a decision tool that breaks down the complex and important decisions around securing facilities from intrusion at the entry. https://bit.ly/3qpDEKb

Boon Edam Inc., a global leader in security entrances and architectural revolving doors, today announced a new solution mapping tool, BoonSelect, that breaks down the complex entry selection process and helps decision makers choose the right entrance solutions for their unique goals. BoonSelect features seven factors to consider prior to making an entrance decision. Boon Edam entry experts are trained on the right questions to ask as they walk a decision maker through each of the factors – all with the goal of helping their clients make the most well-rounded entrance choice.

Determining the Right Security Entrances for the Right Places

Being responsible for making the decision to implement new security turnstiles or revolving doors at a facility can be a challenge. Security and Facility Managers are responsible for the safety and security of all who enter a campus or facility via its entrances. And each entrance location has a different set of users, traffic levels, security requirements, environmental requirements, etc. BoonSelect formalizes the selection process, providing clarity, peace of mind and confidence in an investment that can last ten or more years.

 Seven Entrance Decision Factors

BoonSelect outlines seven decision factors to be considered prior to an entrance implementation strategy:

1. Throughput – Types of users and number of users, especially at peak traffic periods?

2. Security – Tailgating deterrence, detection or prevention? Remote locking?

3. Safety – Local codes and fire or evacuation strategies?

4. Aesthetics – Entrances blend in or stand out?

5. Technology – Integration capabilities with new or future technologies?

6. Comfort – Ease of use? Energy efficiency?

7. Service – Planned preventative maintenance and user training?

“BoonSelect is an efficient driver for starting productive conversations that our customers appreciate,” said JC Powell, Vice President of Sales at Boon Edam Inc. “A client will often ask for an entrance solution that does not meet the overall security goals or traffic requirements of their facility. BoonSelect helps all the stakeholders explore what they don’t know and think about their overall risk posture, and eventually come to the best entrance decision for their unique facility or campus.”
