Once it is released by a regular door, variables like temperature and air pressure will change causing a greater need for heat conversion.

When you open a regular swing door, the pressure difference forces a rush of air into or out of a building as the system tries to reach equilibrium. If you picture the way a revolving door operates as you exit a building, the door panel in front of you opens as the one behind you closes. Instead of a rush, the only air that can be exchanged is the volume of air that gets trapped between two door panels as the door rotates.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('11615','Chris Galvan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('11615','Chris Galvan','The normal operation of heating, A\/C, and ventilation systems typically create a pressure differential between the inside and outside of the buildings they supply.
