Planning, consulting and specification

At this stage, the process should consider and address issues such as;

• How the solar shading interacts with other systems driving the building.

• How the surroundings affect the light in the building, for example, changing shadows during the day/time of year.

• What safety parameters need to be considered?

We work with you to find the best solution based on the requirement.

Design & specification advice

At design stage, our locally based teams will provide expert insight and advice on dynamic solar shading solutions based on the specific nature and needs of the project. Typically, this could include;

Information on the control technologies.
Planning and solution design.
Schematic drawings and system overview.
Access to Building Simulation tools.
BIM

Installation & Commissioning

At this critical phase we ensure your system is installed, commissioned and handed over to the highest possible standard and you can start to enjoy its benefits.

On site

Our technicians are experts in both our open and Somfy protocol solutions. At this stage we will support a thorough and secure electrical installation of the solar shading solution, including;

Integration - we can also support a smooth integration with the building’s BMS, if required.
Commissioning - after installation we verify that the system is fully operational and performing in accordance with the design and specified requirements.

Maintenance & Modernization

Our maintenance packages help free up your time, safe in the knowledge that the maintenance of your dynamic solar shading installation is in safe hands.

If you have an existing system that needs to be modernized, we offer flexible solutions and can manage everything, ranging from replacement of faulty components to full replacement of a system.

In-use

Once the system is in use, with our maintenance packages you can ensure your system stays performing at the optimal level;

Benefitting from continued increased occupant comfort, with better energy savings.
Minimal downtime and prevention of high repair costs.
In-use training for users.
Remote daily monitoring.

This helps free up your time, safe in the knowledge that the maintenance of your dynamic solar shading installation is in safe hands.
