Here's the importance of solar shading
Let's discover the advantages of protecting buildings from the sun
Well-being and feeling comfortable
Well-being and feeling comfortable at home also depends on the decision, carefully considered in tailored design, about how much and what type of light to let through the windows. It is indeed the lighting of the rooms, its intensity more or less emphasized, that gives them the desired atmospheres.
Comfort of shades: the right combination of daylight and protection
Choosing the right automatic solar shading allows for high visual comfort, both in residential settings and in offices where computer work requires the utmost in terms of combining daylight, lighting, and protection. With indoor blinds and awnings, you can achieve protection and discretion from unwanted external views. And if the desire is to shield a room from prying eyes without necessarily staying in the dark, you can position the shading slats at the desired height and angle. This way, light enters but views remain outside. The right solar protection also adds visual comfort: it automatically combines natural and artificial light, increasing well-being in the workplace and creating ideal conditions for increased productivity among employees.
Shading rhymes with thermal comfort
The correct ambient temperature promotes people's well-being. If at home or at work one feels too cold or too hot, our well-being would be compromised. This is why proper solar protection on windows is important. Such shading, if it's hot outside, shields the interiors from unwanted heat rays; if it's cold outside, it allows the right amount of thermal rays to enter. Double glazing lets through 82% of solar radiation. Floors, walls, and furnishings absorb this energy and release it as thermal radiation into the environment. Without adequate solar protection, a house with a large glazed area can easily have a temperature difference of up to 15°C compared to the outside.
Shading: the Griesser example
Environmental conditions change throughout the day and the seasons. With a Griesser blinds control, it's possible to adjust the solar protection according to preferences and changing external circumstances. The setting is simple and user-friendly. Optimal daylighting makes artificial conditioning unnecessary in summer, potentially saving on energy costs and avoiding unpleasant summer colds. In winter, a solar protection system can also shield from the cold while allowing some sunlight into the rooms, further reducing energy costs (and probably tissue expenses too). A 10% energy saving is achieved thanks to automatic solar protection systems (ES-SO).
Solar shading: economic benefits
Among the benefits of solar shading on buildings are the reduction of summer electricity consumption for air conditioning, the saving of heating costs in winter thanks to the use of solar energy. Furthermore, all solar shading systems have become mandatory in new public and private buildings. Finally, they can be tax deductible according to the latest legal specifications.
