The fight against overheating in buildings
Solar shading is a first effective solution against building overheating due to global warming increase.
According to the European solar shading organisation (Es-So), there is an urgent need for automated solar shading to make buildings more climate resistant and efficient from the energy standpoint.
Research conducted by Guidehouse demonstrates that automated solar shading has a profoundly positive impact on planet, society and people.
Our Zippy systems, using shading or filtering fabrics, improve living space quality thanks to greater internal climate and visual comfort while reducing energy costs.
Fabric’s efficiency depends on fabric’s weight, thickness and colour.
The fabric’s ability to mitigate solar radiation is defined as Gtot value.
A low gtot value indicates a high reduction of solar radiation.
Gtot factor defines the overall system performance by combining solar shading and glass.
g shading + g glass = Gtot
– The planet: A CO2 emissions reduction strategy.
– The Society: A strategy based on energy savings.
Solar shading can reduce energy used to cool buildings in the EU by 60%.
– People: An effective strategy from the cost standpoint.
The research reveals that solar shading is an extremely convenient investments compared to air conditioning.
