The Human Factor - daylight management for healthier, happier homes

The way we want to live today demands lower energy consumption combined with a high level of comfort. Smart solutions for vertical residential buildings (multi-family units) are not only for the high-end dwellings but should be accessible to all.

Delivering energy efficiency and occupant comfort in commercial residential buildings

Large multi-family residential buildings not only need to meet the requirements of new and future environmental performance targets; building owners might also want to reflect on the economic impact of these energy savings, while providing increased comfort to their building’s tenants.

A dynamic solution
  • Provides thermal and visual comfort which protects privacy, and actively contributes to tenant well-being.
  • Reduces the need for air-conditioning and heating in buildings, which means lower consumption in terms of energy and natural resources.
  • Delivers automated and remote controlled solutions, so that everyone can take advantage of the benefits of technology and the complete freedom of personal control.
  • Contributes to the better design and construction of buildings, to reduce operating costs and lengthen lifespan.
