Support for your project specification
We offer expert guidance when it comes to the design and specification of solar shading control solutions for commercial building projects.
We offer expert guidance when it comes to the design and specification of solar shading control solutions for commercial building projects.
Early consideration on the dynamic solar shading solution is essential for:
We are committed to creating the ideal indoor environment in today's buildings, to ensure the health and well-being of its occupants and to reduce energy consumption and thus sustainability.
Because we offer the complete solution, from the design and development of the motors and intelligent controls through to installation, commissioning and maintenance, we offer a unique insight and can be a partner at every stage of the project.
Areas where we can support you for specification include:
In our download section you will find a library of datasheets, commercial brochures and drawings to support your specification.
When you are specifying the solution for your project, it can be useful to have a specialist partner to help guide you through the options and help with the major decisions. Through our local expert teams, we can provide this hands-on guidance so don’t hesitate to call one of our team members for a discussion.
There are some important areas to consider at the start – such as; the physical characteristics of the building and its surroundings, the functions required in the building, whether BMS integration is required.
It may help to think about some of the typical questions our team may ask you to ensure we advise you on the best solution.
Our Projects team is available to talk through your options.

Reliable, accurate and easy simulation with ESBO (Early Stage Building Optimisation).
ESBO is the first building simulation software fully endorsed by ES-SO and based on the calculation engine in IDA ICE - the market leading tool for simulation of energy and indoor climate in northern Europe. With ESBO the use of dynamic solar shading can be simulated according to the established ISO 15099.
At Somfy our passion for green and environmentally friendly solutions reaches way beyond the legal requirements in every country. This is why we have started our own initiative called ACT FOR GREEN. It is a voluntary eco-design approach of Somfy products to reduce the total environmental impact of the product throughout the entire life cycle, from extraction of raw materials to the end of life processing, manufacturing use and transport.
A catalogue of Building Information Modelling (BIM) objects is available in our download section. There you can find 3D drawings of our building control products. The files are in .rfa format (RFA family, Autodesk Revit) and can be loaded into your CAD project (Autodesk Revit).
