Automatic doors can contribute to the energy efficiency of buildings by reducing the heat loss caused by the opening and closing of doors. The choice of the right automatic door for the respective area of application of the building is particularly important here.
dormakaba MotionIQ optimizes the control of automatic swing doors with ED 100, ED 250 and can be used for new as well as existing systems.*
In a large area in front of the door, movements are detected and permanently evaluated. MotionIQ determines the movement vector of people and calculates the ideal opening point as well as the individual hold-open time. This significantly reduces the time the door is left open unnecessarily and reduces energy losses. False openings caused by people standing in front of the door are avoided. Individual hold-open time can save up to 50% energy and reduce CO2 emissions. Detailed information on calculating the potential energy savings can be found here.
At the same time, fewer reopenings lead to a longer service life of the door, which increases sustainability.
MotionIQ also simplifies commissioning, as no manual tuning of sensor and drive is required - the system adjusts automatically.

Components
- Motionsensor M A01
The M A01 radar sensor can be used for 1 and 2-leaf door systems, indoors and outdoors. The mounting position is centered above the door system.
- ED Connection board CAN
The ED connection board CAN contains the MotionIQ controller and provides the CAN connection for the M A01 sensors. The parameterization is done via the operator interface of the ED drive. In addition to the CAN connection for the M A01 Motionsensors, further connections are available. The conventional connection board present in the ED is replaced by the ED connection board CAN.
Benefits
- Easier planning
- Improved flows of people
- Design of intelligent and modern entrances
- Symmetrical mounting in the middle of the door
- The doors are open only as long as necessary
- Area-wide detection instead of mechanical alignment of the detection area
- The system constantly adapts to user behavior
Door Efficiency Calculator
To aid decision making dormakaba developed in collaboration with renowned specialists our Door Efficiency Calculator, which calculates the expected energy requirements, annual heating costs and the return on investment for different types of automatic doors. This helps decide on energy efficient options and shows potential CO₂ savings.
