Automation: a solution to reduce home energy bills -- Choosing automated roller shutters instead of manual shutters means rethinking heat management in homes. Without having to think about it, motorised and connected roller shutters open and close perfectly according to the sunlight conditions: in summer to keep the home cool, in winter to keep the heat in! With TaHoma switch, enhance the comfort while reducing the energy consumption! Less to do, more to gain, a winning solution for your customers. #TaHomaswitch #Automation #Thermalcomfort #Automatedsolutions #Somfy

☀️ Warmth up, consumption down thanks to Somfy’s automated solutions ☀️ -- This winter, enhance your clients’ comfort and help them make energy savings with Somfy’s motorised and automated roller shutters. They open automatically during the day to take advantage of free heat from the sun and warm up the home. At nightfall they close to keep the heat in. Without having to think about it! On a daily basis, they automatically adjust to the right position, at the right moment thanks to the TaHoma switch "Thermal Comfort“ pre-scene. Somfy automated solutions can reduce heating consumption in homes by up to 30% compared with manual shutters.

Thanks to this collaboration, we are helping to make homes and indoor spaces smarter, with tailor-made solutions that combine performance and aesthetics. 🌞 👏 A big thank you to Serge Ferrari Group for this collaboration that pushes the limits of innovation!  #SOMFY #SoltisTour2024 #sergeferrarigroup #InnovationLIRIS

Thermal comfort at the heart of the new Amy io wall switch range. Faced with the challenges of climate change, finding simple yet effective ways to enhance energy efficiency and well-being is essential. This is why all the 1-channel versions are equipped with an embedded indoor temperature sensor – and work with TaHoma®. Taking this one step further, Amy® sun protect io also features onboard intelligence for simple, native automation. To offer customers enhanced thermal comfort during heatwaves – without thinking about it.

How can you enhance thermal comfort for customers? As the climate changes and summers are hotter than ever, windows increasingly act like radiators, trapping heat inside homes. Equipped with an indoor temperature sensor and onboard intelligence, Amy ® sun protect io is much more than a wall switch. It makes Somfy’s motorised sun protection smart by choosing the right moment to lower it, before the room gets too hot. By anticipating and capping heat peaks, Amy ® sun protect io creates a more comfortable indoor temperature, effortlessly. So much more than a wall switch!

Make heatwaves cooler. As summers become hotter and more intense, customers increasingly prioritise thermal comfort at home. Much more than just a wall switch, Amy® sun protect io makes Somfy’s motorised sun protection smart by automatically lowering it before the room gets too hot – thanks to an embedded indoor temperature sensor and onboard intelligence. Stand out by providing a simple, concrete solution for improved thermal comfort. It’s as easy as sliding a toggle for your customers. And no extra work for you to integrate or install.

As summer approaches, Somfy joins with European Solar Shading Organisation ES-SO to take part in this second  #globalshadingday which will raise awareness of the important role solar shading plays in residential and commercial buildings. Studies show that effective solar protection helps to regulate the heat supply in homes. In residential housing, it is possible to save from 4 to 7°C* during the heat peaks with automated roller shutters compared to manual solutions. As a player in the home for over 50 years, Somfy offers motorised and automated solutions to ensure that window coverings are always in the right position, at the right time, even when occupants are away to maximize energy efficiency in all seasons.   This prevents homes from overheating, decreases air conditioning consumption by up to 70%** and limits CO2 emissions. It improves thermal comfort at home while reducing the environmental impact. Automated window coverings make buildings more resilient to climate change effects. #Somfy #TaHoma #energyefficiency #renovationwave #overheating #passivecooling #insulation #thermalcomfort #daylightmanagement #carbonneutral *Maximum temperature compared to a house not equipped with sun protection.

This year again, Somfy associates with the second #globalshadingday launched by European Solar Shading Organisation ES-SO. The building industry is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, representing 35% of energy-related EU emissions in 2021. These emissions result partly from the direct use of fossil fuels in buildings and partly from the production of electricity and heat for use in buildings.* A fact that Somfy cannot ignore. During warm seasons, automated solar shadings decrease A/C consumption by blocking solar radiation before entering buildings. Studies show that up to 100 Mt of cumulated CO2,eq-emissions could be avoided in a scenario where 70% of the buildings which require A/C are equipped with automated solar shading. A decrease of greenhouse gas emissions of 58% compared to buildings using A/C.   #Somfy #TaHoma #energyperformance #buildingperformance #renovation #passivecooling #energycrisis #globalwarming #insulation #carbonneutral * https://lnkd.in/e7RPhdMg  **Guidehouse study : Solar shading – Synergising mitigation of GHG emissions and adaptation to climate change.

(Re)experience Somfy's highlights at R+T2024, the World's leading trade fair for roller shutters, doors/gates and sun shading systems, which brings together all building and architecture professionals to discuss the sector's major challenges: climate and the environment. The show was a huge success! Somfy would like to thank everyone who stopped by the stand to discover new solutions and Amy sun protect io innovation, which won a gold award in the building automation category. Thank you all for taking part in the exciting demonstrations, discussions and keynotes that took place over the 5 days.
