Shading solutions can be an effective way to reduce energy consumption and improve comfort levels in a building. Michael Lewis, an expert from E.on, emphasized the importance of energy efficiency by stating that properly insulating 19 million homes, can save energy equivalent to six nuclear power plants. This staggering statistic not only highlights the cost-saving benefits of energy efficiency but also its critical role in creating a sustainable future by reducing overall energy consumption.

Why choose external shading
External shading is widely considered the most effective approach to minimising heat gain, as it intercepts solar radiation before it reaches the window. With the ability to obstruct up to 90% or more of solar gain, it can lead to a large reduction in energy usage and costs over an extended period.
External Blinds
Intercept solar gain before it reaches the glass for optimal performance
Internal shading is a cost-effective alternative that works great in conjunction with automation systems. EnergyPlus building modelling studies have shown that implementing internal shading can lead to a 16% reduction in air conditioning consumption, resulting in considerable energy savings.
