The EFA-EnergySaver from high-speed door manufacturer EFAFLEX, the world market leader for high-speed doors, is celebrating its second anniversary, following the tool’s debut in 2023. One person who helped develop the tool from the outset is Jan Hauffe, Head of Sustainability at EFAFLEX.  

“With the EFA-EnergySaver, we deliver a digital sustainability tool that calculates potential savings for customers based on their specific values, such as daily door openings or energy prices,” Hauffe explains. This is done by comparing a sectional door with the EFAFLEX high-speed door.  

EFA Energy-Saver: New development milestone expands the range of possible applications 

In its latest development stage, the digital sustainability tool now also provides global climate locations, different currencies and a function for saving cooling energy. This is generally much more expensive than heating energy. In addition, three different hall sizes can now be selected so that users’ requirements and potential savings can be depicted even more accurately. 

The expansion of climate and currency data alone makes the EFA-EnergySaver an indispensable tool for anyone around the globe looking for energy savings on their doors.  

Feedback from users show the importance of the sustainability calculator. “The tool provides much-needed data regarding energy savings,” says one customer. Another says of the EFA-EnergySaver: “I can calculate very quickly when the return on investment in my door will come through.” 

Users praise the EFA-EnergySaver 

There is also a lot of praise for its functionality. Hauffe frequently hears from customers that the EFA-EnergySaver is self-explanatory and very easy to use. Among energy consultants, they specifically praise the scientific basis of the sustainability tool. After all, the EFA-EnergySaver is based on scientific data from a concrete study conducted by the Technical University of Munich.  

Before investing in high-speed doors, customers want to know about their return on investment, and users have even referred to the Saver tool as the “goose that lays the golden egg”. That’s because it makes it immediately clear how much they can save on energy costs by installing a modern high-speed door.  

But there’s much more to sustainability at EFAFLEX than the EFA-EnergySaver. Long-lasting and well-insulated doors with sustainability certificates are already firmly anchored within the company. “In the future, we would like to expand our EPD range,” says Hauffe: “In this way, we can help our customers to demonstrably improve the sustainability and energy efficiency of their operations.“ 

In addition, the company is continuing to electrify its fleet of vehicles and will significantly increase the proportion of electricity obtained from solar energy.
