Maintaining rooms at a pleasant temperature goes a long way to keeping guests comfortable and happy, and the importance of energy efficiency and sustainable operation in business decision-making continues to grow apace. Automated sun protection systems can make a big difference in both areas: opening and closing sun protection at just the right time prevents rooms heating up too much in the summer and losing too much heat in the winter.
Automated external sun protection systems such as outdoor blinds, vertical awnings and roller shutters can save up to 30% on heating energy and up to 50% on cooling energy, depending on the type and age of the building and the area covered by windows. Sun protection products have a clear advantage over air conditioning systems, which not only consume energy, but also heat the surrounding area directly with their warm exhaust air. Intelligent sun protection systems thus have an important role to play in reducing carbon footprints and climate change.
Invest in sustainability and gain lasting benefits with sun protection:
- Lower energy costs
- Lower CO₂ emissions and a better energy balance
- Reduced load on technical systems such as air conditioning
- Sustainable business profile for guests concerned about environmental factors
