As the HVACR industry gathers in Las Vegas for the AHR Expo 2026, one theme continues to shape conversations across commercial, industrial, logistics and food-processing environments: how to achieve greater efficiency while maintaining stable, compliant and comfortable internal conditions.
While much of the focus often sits on plant, equipment upgrades and system optimisation, one of the most significant opportunities for improving performance sits elsewhere – at the door.
This year, Enershield Air Barriers will bring that discussion to the forefront with a live demonstration of our engineered Air Barrier technology at Booth SU1953.
Why Efficiency Starts at the Door
Every facility, regardless of sector or scale, faces the same fundamental challenge: open doorways allow uncontrolled air movement.
This affects:
- Energy consumption, such as heating or cooling escapes
- System load, placing pressure on HVACR equipment
- Internal comfort and stability, especially in high-traffic areas
- Environmental control, where hygiene or product integrity is critical
Even with the most advanced HVAC systems, if the building envelope is compromised at its most active openings, energy loss and instability persist.
Enershield Air Barriers offer a practical, proven way to address this and AHR attendees will be able to see the principle in action.
Engineering Airflow for Performance
At the Enershield Air Barriers’ booth, visitors will experience how a continuous, laminar airflow forms a high-performance seal across an open doorway.
The live demonstration will highlight:
- How controlled airflow supports consistent internal temperatures
- The impact on system efficiency and energy use
- How Enershield Air Barriers can improve the performance of HVACR equipment
- The value of managing the doorway as part of a wider environmental control strategy
This is an opportunity to see the technology in action, providing a clear understanding of its effectiveness and practical benefits.
Insight and Expertise on Hand
Supporting the demonstration will be two senior leaders from the CPA, the owner and manufacturer of Enershield Air Barriers.
- Dan Hallihan, General Manager, CPA Canada
- Alan Collin, CEO, CPA Group
Both bring extensive knowledge of controlled-air solutions and their integration into wider building strategies. They will be available to explore:
- Sector-specific challenges
- Installation and performance requirements
- How to evaluate the efficiency impact of doorway solutions
- Opportunities for improving energy and operational resilience
Their presence ensures that discussions are grounded in engineering, application and long-term performance – not just product features.
