Energy Efficient Savings
Building Modelling used to show energy savings from efficient use of solar shading
The development by our trade associations of sophisticated computer modelling of building performance is now enabling us to demonstrate the effects of efficient shading more simply. On a typical building model it shows that effective solar shading can recover the cost of installing the blinds in just over two years compared to the energy running costs of an air-conditioned building without shading. The savings are substantial and that does not allow for the saving on the capital expenditure for the air-conditioning plant in the first place.
As energy costs continue to rise the contribution that effective shading can make to reducing them is probably far more than you would imagine.
