Automatic vs Normal Doors


Most colleges or public buildings have automatic doors to assist the handicapped.  However, automatic doors are bad!  If you are handicapped, I understand you may not be able to do this, but for those who are able use the non-automatic door please use it.  Yes that requires you to use your muscles and open a door but doing this will reduce the amount of heat/air conditioning from leaving the building.  An automatic door keeps the door open letting heat/air conditioning escape 4 times longer than using a normal door that swings shut right away.  This will help reduce the amount of heat/cool air costs for your school and that money could be used towards other projects to help your education.  And as an added bonus for gentlemen, holding the door open for ladies is quite the generous common courtesy.  Maybe holding the door for that cute girl behind you will be the start of something beautiful.
