GAMMA instabus - Solar protection
Discover how GAMMA instabus solar protection products create perfect places
Natural sunlight and pleasant lighting conditions enhance user comfort in rooms and houses. To ensure optimum use of daylight, Siemens offers a range of products for energy-efficient solar protection control. To ensure in-room users are not dazzled by the sun, blind slats can be precisely adjusted with the automatic sun tracking system. This creates an optimum room climate, ensures glare-free workplaces and lowers energy demand and costs for room lighting.
Optimum solar protection while saving energy costs
Weather stations are used to control roller shutters, blinds and awnings via appropriate solar protection actuators. By recording weather data such as brightness, wind, temperature and rain, safe, convienient and energy-efficient solar protection control for the entire building is possible.Sunlight tracking control
With sunlight tracking control, the position of the sun is tracked so that the blind slats are not completely closed, but rather automatically adjusted to prevent the sun from shining directly into the room, but the spacing between the blind slats still allows diffuse daylight to enter the room and contribute to ensuring glare-free room lighting. This intelligent solar protection system ensures to lower the electricity costs.
Shadow tracking control
With shadow tracking control, solar protection is not lowered completely but only so far that the sun can still shine into the room for a certain distance (e.g. 50cm), which can be set by adjustable parameters.
Benefit: This enables people in the room to look outside through the lower part of the window, and plants arranged on the windowsill can still be exposed to direct sunlight, while the room occupants are protected.
