Energy Savings with Sun Protection
Reduce cooling costs by up to 50%, heating costs by 30%, and lighting energy by 20%
The right combination of windows and automated sun shading can slash cooling loads by up to 50% and heating costs by 30%. Outdoor sun protection intercepts solar heat before it reaches the glass — the most effective approach to climate control.
Summer — Block Heat Before the Glass
Exterior sun protection like ZIP screens and brise-soleil stop solar radiation before it reaches the window. Compared to interior blinds that only block 35-65% of heat energy, outdoor shading blocks 85-95%. In many cases, air conditioning becomes completely unnecessary.
Winter — Harvest Free Solar Energy
Automated louvre systems like the Luxa 500M and Luxa 700 open during winter days to let solar heat warm the interior. At night, the closed position creates an insulating air cushion between the shading and the window, reducing heat loss.
Daylight — 20% Less Artificial Lighting
Precisely adjustable louvres direct natural daylight deep into rooms without glare. Combined with automation, this reduces artificial lighting energy consumption by at least 20%. The result is a healthier, more productive indoor environment.
