Smart solar control window
Our windows provide full flexibility for solar control. The shades (blinds, cellular, shade) are inserted in between glass to improve the aesthetics and performance. Three control options are also provided: (1) Electrical control (2) manual control (3) automatic sun-tracking active control. The customers can select the window products weighing their requirement and budget.
The automatic sun-tracking active shading control can adjust the shading device automatically according to the winter or summer and daytime or nighttime, so as to optimize energy savings while maintain a well thermal and visual indoor environment.
In between glass shades
Our windows use in between glass shades, blinds or cellular, i.e., the shades are sealed inside the glass panels so that dust never enter enters and touches them. So the shading device are protected from the dirt and debris from the outside world therefore you never have to worry about the cleaning issue. The shades and blinds are the main attractors of dust and dirt in your home. It causes a lot of pain and trouble to clean them. Sometimes it is almost impossible to clean them if they have already got too dirty. The in between glass shades can fit into different window or door types, which can make your home cleaner and tidy.
What is active solar control?
Active solar control utilize sun tracking dynamic shading devices to prevent unwanted solar heat gain from entering conditioned space. Dynamic solar shading uses technology to automate and control external and/or internal solar shading devices such as screens, blinds and shades by means of an intelligent building control system. It receives real-time input from sensors, such as sun, wind and temperature and combines this with pre-set data and thresholds based on the requirements from both facility managers and tenants.
Why dynamic solar shading?
Having an intelligent controlled solar shading system helps create a better indoor environment for the well-being and comfort of the building occupants, positively influencing welfare and productivity. It also significantly contributes to building energy management by:
- Generating energy savings for cooling and heating
- Supporting a more consistent, healthy indoor environment through improved visual comfort, thermal comfort and access to natural daylight.
Can we achieve the same result with a manual system?
Outside climatic conditions continuously vary during the day/night or season; however, the aim is for the indoor environment to be as stable and comfortable as possible for the occupants’ comfort and to achieve energy savings. The use of real data based on environmental conditions, combined with the correct programming will achieve the optimum result. Manual blinds rely on human intervention at the right time, so the result is not consistent. For example, when the building occupants are absent, the shading would not move. And our smart system allow for occupants’ override when they want to control the shading by themselves.
Energy efficiency features of dynamic solar shading
Exterior windows provide a net source of energy, to the extent that this is practical in various climates. In order to save energy, the solar gains associated with the windows during the cooling season must not outweigh the energy saved on heating and the thermal conductance of the windows must be low enough to reduce the thermal losses to less than the solar gains. Dynamic sun-tracking solar shading can optimize energy savings by an automated shade algorithm with an intelligent, networkable, sensor/microprocessor package. The control algorithm can be implemented inside the window or on a home automation microprocessor. It only requires a few input values from local sensors integrated in the window to determine the optimal shading operation.
