Energy savings through our smart solar shading solutions.

Our Griesser products provide so much more than shade. They substantially raise energy efficiency. And, in doing so, they make a major contribution to ensuring greater sustainability, in summer and winter alike.

On summer days, our smartly controlled solar shading solutions prevent rooms from getting too hot, with 90 % of the warmth kept outside and the interior remaining pleasantly cool with no air conditioning required. And on summer nights, the rooms are cooled by the lower outside temperatures. In the winter months, up to 16 % of heating energy can be saved by keeping the solar shading open by day and letting the sun’s rays warm the interior. At night, meanwhile, the solar shading system can provide thermal insulation. So consistently closing all the system’s blinds will reduce the building’s cooling in the night hours.

All year round, then, our solar shading blinds can help our customers to lower their energy needs and thereby avoid the associated carbon dioxide emissions.

Energy savings and thermal comfort combined
Griesser’s smart solar shading solutions ensure an optimum indoor climate in any season of the year. The sensitive Griesser systems respond automatically to lighting and temperature conditions to provide a pleasant and constant temperature throughout the office or home. The rooms are optimally heated or cooled; and the lower use of heating and air conditioning systems translates into reduced energy consumption. With their automated management and controls, Griesser’s solar shading solutions can lower a building’s energy use by up to 40 % compared to similar premises with air conditioning systems. That puts less strain on both budgets and the environment. Constant temperatures also ensure a healthy indoor climate which can help prevent colds and similar conditions, to deliver a perfect symbiosis of comfort, sustainability and good general health.

Smart homes, scientifically confirmed
The European Solar Shading Organisation (ES-SO) has confirmed through a series of studies that the use of smart solar shading solutions can achieve substantial energy savings. Avoidable heating costs in the colder months and cooling costs in the warmer months can swiftly add up. But a smart combination of automated interior and exterior shading will significantly cut both energy expense and carbon dioxide emissions. The results of these studies further underline just how important smart solar shading systems can be in our endeavors to provide sustainable and energy-efficient buildings.
