As we come to the end of a week celebrating Global Shading Day, it's good to reflect on the importance of shading for comfort and wellbeing. 🌞 Smart solar shading improves thermal, visual and acoustic comfort, boosting productivity and efficiency. 📈 During the summer, staff performance declines by around 1% for every one degree above the comfort zone of 19°C-24°C.

As summers get warmer in the UK, shading helps us stay cool, especially when sleeping at night.🌡️ Some homes are more prone to overheating than others, such as high-rise flats and homes with limited ventilation. By the mid 2030s, 90% of UK housing could be susceptible to overheating. To avoid heat gain, keep blinds and shutters closed when it's hot during the daytime. Open the shading and windows when it's cooler outside to allow the building to ventilate. Learn more about the benefits of shading: https://lnkd.in/eWtpQn9B #BlindsMakeBetter #GlobalShadingDay

Most offices have BIG windows which can mean BIG heat gains when the sun shines. 🌞 This can cause discomfort for those inside and higher energy costs when air conditioning kicks in. #GlobalShadingDay highlights the essential role of smart solar shading in sustainable buildings to combat excessive temperatures. Solar shading helps us to: ⛅️ Regulate daylight exposure ⛅️ Reduce building overheating ⛅️ Reduce reliance on air conditioning ⛅️ Curb CO2 emissions Find out more about Global Shading Day 👉 https://lnkd.in/eY8xuZ_v #BlindsMakeBetter #GlobalShadingDay

Did you know? 🤔 Typically, 18% of heat in our homes is lost through the windows. #GlobalShadingDay on Friday raises the question: How can we be more energy efficient? Blinds and shutters are an effective way of trapping heat in your home. With the best energy saving blinds and shutters, your double-glazed windows can perform like triple-glazed! 🙌 We can advise you on the best performing energy saving blinds and shutters for your home.

By 2050, the average number of days per year that Europe requires air conditioning will have increased by around 30%, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. ☀️ In fact, in the week of Global Shading Day, around six million additional air conditioning units will have been sold globally. More air conditioning units means higher energy demand for cooling in buildings and the associated greenhouse gas emissions. #GlobalShadingDay raises the question: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁? Building modelling shows external shading can reduce air conditioning costs by up to 54%, while internal shading saved 16% in one study (Source NEF report, 2016) Discover more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e--sdjDz #BlindsMakeBetter

Adjustable shading creates a more comfortable indoor environment - which is especially important when we spend 90% of our time indoors! 🏡 Whether working from home or watching TV, glare and excessive light can cause eye strain and headaches. Blinds, shutters and awnings can help control light levels, while automated shading makes it even easier by adjusting automatically. 🙌 Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eHmU3i27 #BlindsMakeBetter #GlobalShadingDay
