What we do

AUTOMATED CONTROL

High-End Automation

Our client-driven engineered shading control solution provides site-specific automation controls that can be micro-tailored down to each occupant’s environment. 

Overshadowing control

Used to determine the shadows that are created by adjacent buildings during the movement of the sun throughout the day. That information is then processed by our shading control system which deploys or retracts the shading systems to maximise the amount of light entering the building.

Glare zone management

Used to maximise the comfort of individuals within a specific building location by controlling the distance the sunlight penetrates onto the floorplate. The shading system is designed to deploy or retract based on the sun position, overshadowing and reflective glare from surrounding buildings to create the most comfortable micro-climate for each workspace.

Mid-End Automation

This solution adds intelligence through sensors, focusing on specific building requirements to ensure a comfortable climate for all users.

Suntracking

Our CRE logic tracks the actual location of the sun to determine the exact times when the shading systems are deployed or retracted which manages glare and heat entering and exiting the space.

Sensor control

Our control systems utilise a variety of sensors to automatically deploy or retract shading systems based on external conditions. These conditions include wind for safety, brightness to minimise glare, radiation for temperature control, or a hybrid weather station that provides comprehensive data.

Simple Automation

A cost-driven approach that deploys or retracts the shading systems at set times determined by the client.

Time Schedule

Based on the predetermined times when the shading systems are deployed or retracted.

OVERRIDE CONTROL & INTEGRATION

Wall switches

Either hardwired or wireless.

Can be programmed to override the existing automation system in place for the shading system. The parameters can also be set so that when the building needs to maintain a specific level of performance the switches are locked.

Graphic User Interface (GUI)

Represented on a physical tablet and/or an online portal.

Building Management System (BMS) integration

Our shading control systems can be integrated with any Building Management System (BMS). This includes connections to HVAC, lighting, safety, and facility control systems. This integration enables the shading system to operate at its best and enhances the overall sustainability of the building allowing the shading system to perform at optimal levels and contribute to the overall sustainability of the building.

Audio Visual (AV) integration

The control system can also be integrated into any tenant proposed AV system so that the shading system operates to match the needs of the tenant’s AV requirements. The most common AV protocols that we integrate with include Crestron, Dynalite, CBUS, and Lutron.
