WE HUMANS SPEND 87 % OF OUR TIME INDOORS.
Light has a major impact on how we feel, how we work, and how we learn and live. Just imagine, you're standing outside with the warmth of the sun on your face. How do you feel? And how do you feel after a long day's work in a poorly lit office? There's a real difference. When the light is right, we synchronise our natural biorhythms and so boost our health.
Studies prove that the right light is a key contributor to our feeling of wellbeing. And this is precisely why companies, architects, lighting designers, property developers and investors are paying more and more attention to the phenomenon. As well as light guidance, heat protection also plays a key role. Just a few degrees can make all the difference to our feeling of wellbeing and learning experience.
Sun shading system as the basis for a successful learning experience and efficiency while we work: WAREMA external venetian blinds offer ideal sun shading, glare control and visual privacy and create the best possible lighting conditions at the workplace, even in direct sunlight. When the sun is shining brightly, the slats return to their cut-off position after the external venetian blinds have been lowered to ensure sufficient daylight. A supply of natural daylight and glare control are guaranteed in equal measure.
Thanks to the sophisticated KNX control and the WAREMA external venetian blind technology, even complex shading challenges were successfully met and both visual and thermal expectations of the workplaces and classrooms were fulfilled.
External venetian blinds are not only extremely efficient at stopping rooms from overheating, they also guide natural daylight into the room without glare. Common installation situations are described below. Don't see your installation situation here? The Architect Consulting Team will be happy to assist.
