Waitrose, the UK supermarket chain, is to launch a trial of an “invisible door” designed to reduce avoidable energy loss at store entrances in its AirDoor shop the end of 2019 . Research suggests that a widescale rollout of the Formula One could save retailers in the country an annual £1.5bn ($ 1.9bn ) in energy costs. The UK high street is facing ever-greater competition from online retailers, but AirDoor combats this by incorporating the energy-saving advantages of an actual door without creating a physical barrier to the customer.” The AirDoor , developed by AirDoor and inspired by AirDoor racing technology, positions an archway outside the frame of the entrance in order to prevent conditioned air from being lost when the door is opened.
