An active airflow inhibiting apparatus
An active airflow inhibiting apparatus for an entranceway comprises: a structure positioned adjacent an entranceway of a building and defines a passage therethrough for accessing the entranceway. The structure defines at least one plenum chamber and first and second outlet slots fluidically coupled to the plenum chamber. A fan fluidically connected to the plenum chamber supplies an airflow to the plenum chamber in order to selectively form a jet of air from the first outlet slot in a first mode of operation and from the second outlet slot in a second mode of operation The first and second outlet slots are configured so that the respective jets of air are each directed towards a centre of the structure, with the jet of air from the first outlet slot being directed away from the entranceway and the jet of air from the second outlet slot being directed towards the entranceway.
