Introducing the Benefits of an Automated Shading System

Description

Climate change and global warming are increasingly impacting on the sustainability of the built environment and workplace productivity, forcing developers and specifiers to change the way they approach overheating in commercial buildings. Automated shading systems can help mitigate this overheating, as well as impacting sustainability metrics and the overall efficiency and effectiveness of commercial indoor environments. In this CPD we guide specifiers through the elements that can impact sustainability, we explain the benefits of automated shading systems, provide an overview of the numerous controlled systems available, and we go over points you need to consider when specifying automated shading systems. Waverley are a family firm, established since 1979, with a wealth of expertise in the solar shading industry. We look forward to helping specifiers with this fresh approach to shading and the impact in can have on sustainability. By the end of this CPD delegates ought to: 1. Understand how automation can impact sustainability. 2. Understand the benefits that automated shading systems can offer. 3. Know the types of smart shading systems that are available including open protocols. 4. Be aware of what considerations will need to be addressed when specifying automated shading systems. 5. Understand how automated smart shading can lower the carbon footprint and infrastructure costs of projects.
