F o o d E q u i p m e n t N e w s T h u r s d a y, F e b r u a r y 7 , 2 0 1 3 1 6 BERNER'S 'DRIVE-THRU' AIR CURTAIN INCREASES COMFORT, WELL-BEING OF EMPLOYEES Berner International Corp.'s Drive-Thru Window air curtain saves energy, creates comfort and keeps car fumes outside of open drive-thru windows. Employee turnover and energy costs are both issues for Quick Serve Restaurants (QSRs). Berner recognized that they had the expertise and technology to help address energy loss and two of the contributing fac- tors to employee complaints: discomfort from outside temperatures and carbon monoxide entering via the drive-thru win- dow. Rather than taking an existing air cur- tain designed to cover 6-foot to 8-foot-high man doors and converting it to "work" for a 2-foot to 3-foot-high window, Berner stepped back and looked at the many differ- ent styles, widths and heights of pass-thru windows, the needs and concerns of the interior spaces, and spoke with employees and managers of QSRs. With the informa- tion gathered, Berner designed a brand new air curtain specifically for the drive-thru window.
