… fold down or tilt the fanlights outwards or inwards. They work manually via push-rods, for example, which are operated by hand levers or crank rods. Alternatively, fanlights can be opened automatically by electric drives. GEZE fanlight opener: suitable for all uses Manual GEZE fanlight opener systems, in the form of inward opening bottom-hung or top-hung leaves and outward opening top-hung windows, work easily and reliably for daily ventilation. They can be applied to many types of frames (wood, plastic or aluminium) and for many forms of windows (rectangular, inclined, triangle, round or segmental arch windows). Operating elements like hand levers or crank rods allow for flexible adjustments and convenient operation of many different window shapes and installation situations. Manually operated fanlight openers can be combined with GEZE electronic drives . This makes the windows power-operated, i.e. automatically opening fanlights. The drives open the fanlights for ventilation, with switches for easy operation. This means that several windows, or even large and heavy windows, can easily be opened at the same time. Fanlight opener systems by GEZE They leave façade designs unaffected, since the flat scissor design and the bar assembly require only a minimum amount of space. They assure optimal ventilation and air extraction via an opening width of up to 320 mm. They can be used for comfortable, daily ventilation. They are easily and reliably opened, either manually or electronically. They also open wide and heavy leaves.

Automatic doors - convenient and safe building access
… folding leaf doors or telescopic sliding doors, can be used in locations where installing standard automatic door systems is not possible. © Sigrid Rauchdobler / GEZE GmbH Door automation elements Special sliding fitting systems create doors which move automatically. These types of automatic sliding fitting systems consist of several components: Activation device : This is a detector which registers an open command and transfers it to the drive control/control unit. There are manual detectors, such as touch pads, remote controls, buttons and switches, and automatic detectors, such as movement detectors, sensors, photoelectric barriers and digital barriers. For reasons of convenience, several different types of detectors are often fitted to an automatic door. Control unit : This is the brain of the system, which usually includes timer switches, settings for opening speeds, angles and hold-open time, and if applicable additional safety technology such as access controls, video monitoring, etc. Drive : The door drive uses motor force to open the door. The drive pulls the door open and then closes it again. Sensor strips : Sensor strips (presence detectors) monitor the path of the door leaves and the closing edges. They promptly stop the door if there is a threat of collision or entrapment involving a person or object. Before using safety sensors, please consult the fire door manufacturer to see whether the sensors are approved.

Calculate the amortisation period for your building The highest standards for automatic doors An automatic door in a residential building © Aleksandrs Kendenkovs / GEZE GmbH The safety standard for automatic door systems in Germany is the highest in the world. Since these components have electric drives, they are considered to e machines as defined by the Machinery Directive. They are therefore subject to special safety demands. The European standard EN 16005 is implemented by DIN EN 16005 in Germany and sets out the design requirements and test methods applied to ensure the safe use of automatic doors. Another legally applicable standard in Germany is DIN 18650, which remains compulsory as an older and more stringent standard. Protective devices The operator is legally obliged to secure the opening and closing movements of automatic doors, and the associated sources of risk. In some cases, monitoring of the main closing edges is sufficient. In specific circumstances (for example buildings used predominantly by older people, individuals with restricted mobility, or small children), the whole door area must be secured. Many older door systems can be retrofitted with a range of safety devices. The key elements of DIN EN 16005 and DIN 18650 require hazardous areas to be protected by way of: Using sensors to avoid crushing, shearing and impact during opening and closing Safe distances to prevent crushing and being drawn in Limitation of the leaf forces Requirement for a high level of security in door control and "Performance Level c" sensors for standard doors or "performance level d" for escape and rescue routes (in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1) Maintenance and inspection In accordance with DIN EN 16005, DIN 18650 and the Technical Rules for Workplaces - Door and Gates (ASR A1.7), automatic doors are subject to a mandatory technical safety inspection by an expert. This applies to initial commissioning, and then a minimum of once per annum, but also as needed, for example if the building function changes. In addition to this inspection, the maintenance requirement also includes mandatory regular maintenance of the automatic/power-operated doors. These intervals depend on the installation manufacturer’s specifications. Maintenance twice a year is recommended for automatic doors in escape and rescue routes. Fire protection and clear escape routes Automatic door systems within escape and rescue routes © Jürgen Pollak / GEZE GmbH Automatic doors offer safety thanks to sophisticated systems and sensors - even in an emergency. Doors which are used as fire protection doors must close safely in the event of a fire, or if smoke develops. In an emergency, they automatically close via the impulse from a smoke detector and secure the fire section or prevent the spread of smoke. This can also be triggered by a building system, such as smoke detection central units. If a passage is identified as an escape and rescue route, automatic doors must be equipped with a fail-safe opening impulse generator (detector). This ensures that the door opens within a few seconds of being triggered, or after a loss of power, so that the doors can be used as safe escape and rescue routes in an emergency. Central control and monitoring through networking Automatic door installations are often networked with building systems such as the rescue route system, access control system, building technology system and RWA control units. This enables central control and monitoring of all of these systems, so increasing efficiency of the facility management. Accessible construction with automatic doors The goal of accessible construction is to plan and construct buildings and housing such that they can be used by anyone without help and without limitation. Access for all is included in building regulations in Germany and is a criterion for public construction projects. It must also be possible to open and close doors with a low amount of energy. Otherwise, automatic door systems are needed. DIN 18040-1 Publicly Accessible Buildings Access for all is also becoming more popular in private homes. The number of older people in society is significantly increasing, and many people can and want to live an independent life into old age. Access for all also offers numerous advantages in other stages of life. It helps people suffering the temporary consequences of accidents, people with prams, baggage or shopping bags, and families with small children. In these situations, i.e. when opening and closing doors manually is inconvenient, difficult or even impossible, automatic door solutions offer a high level of user convenience.

Indoor climate control Synonym: indoor climate control Indoor climate control is the option of intelligently controlling the ventilation in a building. Depending on the temperature, humidity and air quality, windows are automatically opened or closed in accordance with pre-defined ventilation scenarios. Indoor climate control can also be used in connection with an RWA control panel so that ventilation and smoke extraction are combined. In the event of a fire, the RWA control panel takes over and moves the windows into the desired secure position. RC2 RC is an abbreviation for Resistance Class. The Resistance Class indicates how long a product will hold up against a certain type of attacker attempting to break in. RC2 means that a component will prevent an opportunist perpetrator who is attempting to break open the closed and locked component using simple tools, such as a screwdriver, pliers and a wedge, for
GEZE supplies variety, design and functionality for partitioning
… folding partitions, or create privacy or noise protection with partition curtains or walls. The effect is usually rather cramped and dark. The solution favoured by interior designers and architects is: to quickly connect or separate rooms with comfortable sliding doors or sliding walls. Here, the use of glass enables flowing views and transparency. Not only does light make every room appear wider and larger, natural daylight also makes a major contribution to the physical and mental well-being of users and residents. Modern glass technology also allows entire wall surfaces to be replaced with glass. The result is elegant new offices, meeting rooms, waiting rooms or residential rooms - with no costly construction. Functional door fittings create mobility and flexibility, with the individual elements moved in profiles or tracks. GEZE partitioning: separate and connect with design Manual sliding walls (MSW) open, divide and separate rooms and flexibly adapt them to their particular use. The modular design of the MSW allows the use of different system elements with varying functionalities. Fixed leaf elements can be used as double-action, swing and single-action doors or as fixed panels. Horizontally movable leaf elements, on the other hand, are used as sliding doors. This means that a closed sliding door can be quickly transformed into a fully functional swing door with the help of an easy-to-operate locking mechanism. It is the perfect solution if the MSW glass front, for example in shops or cafés, is not to be opened completely when the weather is cold. GEZE offers attractive design options with the various cover profiles, which run inclined towards the glass or have a modern angled design.
