Solar shading (sometimes referred to as ‘solar control’ or ‘solar protection’) is the term used to identify a number of systems to control the amount of heat and light from the sun admitted to a building. By doing so, solar shading devices can offer energy saving in various areas:
They can reduce the amount of energy required for heating or cooling by keeping the excessive heat of the sun out and avoiding overheating
They can also cut the amount of energy required for lighting, by optimizing the admittance of more free, natural daylight.
They will enhance indoor comfort and stimulate productivity.
