CLIMATE SOLUTIONS FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND OFFICES		2-3
A comfortable indoor environment is fundamental to productivity, wellbeing and the impression a building makes on everyone who enters it. Whether it is a busy civic building welcoming members of the public, a contemporary office accommodating hundreds of employees, or a heritage building being brought back to life, the climate challenges are demanding — and the standards expected are high.		2-3
Biddle has many years of experience delivering quiet, energy-efficient and highly reliable climate solutions across the full spectrum of public and commercial buildings — from new-build smart offices to the sympathetic refurbishment of landmark historic structures. Our project-focused approach and flexible product range means we can create a tailor-made solution for any building, whatever its age, size or complexity.		2-3
CUSTOM CLIMATE CONTROL		2-3
No two buildings are alike, and no two Biddle solutions are the same. Drawing on our industry-leading range of products — including fan coil units, air curtains and air heaters — we design a custom climate system to suit each building's unique requirements, occupancy patterns and aesthetic standards.		2-3
CLIMATE SEPARATION		2-3
Public buildings and offices experience constant movement through their entrances throughout the working day. Every door opening is an opportunity for energy to escape. Biddle's climate separation solutions create an effective invisible barrier at doorways, maintaining internal comfort while reducing energy consumption — with separation efficiency of up to 94%.		2-3
AESTHETICS AND PERFORMANCE		2-3
In public buildings and prestige offices, how a climate solution looks is as important as how it performs. Biddle's range includes architecturally considered products designed to complement contemporary and traditional interiors alike — from the striking cylindrical form of the Invisidor STYLE2 to the discreet ceiling-mounted Comfort Circle and the configurable ProAir fan coil unit.		2-3
CASE STUDY		4-5
MANCHESTER CITY WOMEN FOOTBALL CLUB		4-5
The Manchester City Women's Training Ground is a state-of-the art facility built to support elite athletes in a world-class environment. As part of ongoing improvements, attention turned to the reception area – a critical first point of contact for staff, players, and visitors. The goal was clear: create a space that not only reflects the club's professional standards, but delivers a genuinely comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for all who enter.		4-5
Following a trusted colleague's recommendation and an established relationship with Biddle's sales team, the decision was made to specify the DoorFlow2 air curtain for this installation.		4-5
SOLUTION		4-5
To address the drafts and temperature fluctuations in the reception area, Biddle proposed the DoorFlow2 air curtain. Selected for its ability to create a powerful, efficient air barrier, the DoorFlow2 maintains a stable indoor climate and significantly reduces energy loss caused by frequent door openings.		4-5
Its sleek, minimalist design makes it the ideal choice for environments where visual integration is as important as technical performance. The unit's compact form and clean lines allow it to blend seamlessly into the reception's contemporary architecture, while its robust engineering ensures it can meet the demands of a busy, high-profile facility.		4-5
CONCLUSION		4-5
The DoorFlow₂ delivered reliable thermal comfort and seamless aesthetic integration at a world-class sporting facility — proof that performance and design need never compromise each other.		4-5

The STYLE2 and SR air curtains deliver exceptional performance and prevent thermal exchange across a threshold through all seasons.		4-5
AIR CURTAIN TECHNOLOGY		6-7
i-SENSE		6-7
The patented i-sense infrared technology carefully scans the environment around the doorway collecting information on indoor and outdoor temperatures by measuring the exact temperature at floor level. In addition, the i-sense detects when the door is closed.		6-7
The i-sense (1) collects temperatures from several points both from inside and outside the doorway (2&3), whilst a sensor in the return air measures room temperature (4).		6-7
EXAMPLE OF I-SENSE IMPACT		6-7
The graph illustrates how the outdoor and indoor temperatures are measured using i-sense. As demonstrated, the sensor located on the outside of the doorway estimates an outdoor temperature of 9 °C (green line) whilst, i-sense sensor in the doorway provides a reading of 4 to 5 °C (purple line). This provides the evidence of accuracy readings of climate conditions in the doorway measured by Biddle technology.		6-7
CHIPS		6-7
CHIPS (Corrective Heating and Impulse Prediction System) technology automatically adjusts discharge velocity, air volume, discharge temperature and heat output. Outside, return air and discharge temperature sensors (i-Sense) are used to determine how much heat is required and Biddle’s control algorithm ‘translates’ the data into the strength required, removing the need for users to continually adjust settings. An air curtain with traditional control has heat and fan speed linked to one another: when the fan speed increases heat output increases.		6-7
PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND OFFICES | AIR CURTAINS		6-7
RECTIFIER		6-7
Rectifier technology creates excellent downward penetration of the air stream, making it perfect for applications where the door height is greater than the air curtain width, preventing thermal conduction. The laminar air stream reaches the floor at a much lower air speed, preventing the air from colliding with the floor and resulting in efficient use of heat energy. The rectifier transforms the air turbulence caused by the fans into a laminar air stream, ensuring that the air curtain's warmth benefits the indoor climate. This prevents large air displacement, achieving optimal climate separation efficiency while using less energy.		6-7
CONTROLLED AIR STRENGTH		6-7
The Controlled Air strength technology is paired with the rectifier to create adaptable discharge width, which can be tailored to meet the specific climatic conditions of any given doorway. With six different settings to choose from, the air valve automatically adjusts the discharge width to optimise climate separation efficiency. As a result, the air volume and discharge velocity increase only as much as is necessary to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while reducing energy consumption.		6-7
PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND OFFICES | AIR CURTAINS		6-7

Six selectable settings allow integration with building management systems for fully automated operation.		8-9
REMOTE MONITORING & ANALYTICS		8-9
The b-touch control panel includes a USB data export function allowing usage data, energy consumption and comfort performance to be logged and analysed. For facilities managers of public buildings or large offices, this supports ongoing energy monitoring, maintenance planning and compliance reporting — core parameters within a regulatory environment that requires CO₂ monitoring and energy performance certificates.		8-9
