This is how daylight coming into building interiors creates great potential for effective savings on energy.

Daylight directs heat energy into the building as a result of the solar effect. This is not carried out in an uncontrolled way; rather energy input is managed and regulated by intelligent shade systems.

Using energy in this way saves on heating costs.





Further savings:
Less wear, tear and maintenance for artificial lighting as well as no operating costs for mechanical ventilation systems or smoke and heat extractors if daylight systems with flap systems are also used for natural ventilation as well as for smoke and heat extraction.

Controlling natural ventilation plays a considerable role in optimising air conditioning systems and reduces the amount of energy used for cooling in air conditioning units. Integrating and controlling light direction and shade systems coordinates the combined use of natural daylight and artificial light and automates movement and switch-on times.

The input of heat and light is thus controlled, leading to a substantial reduction in heating and artificial lighting costs.



Signal-emitting sensors or information transmitters and timing systems for ventilation and shade systems include devices such as timers, solar and light intensity sensors, temperature sensors and air quality monitors.
