External shading is essential to prevent overheating especially in passive house and low energy buildings. Hemera Markisolette awnings can reduce the load from solar gain by up to 90%. Stopping the gain before it reaches the glass is more energy efficient than paying to remove it.

​

Hemera Markisolette drops as a roller blind down the top part of your window and then comes out on its side arms as an awning. The awning fabric reduces solar gain and the neat side guides and drop arms allow clear vision and good ventilation.

​

Hemera awnings have a compact aluminium top box with neat side guides and drop arms that retain the weighted front rail. Type 103 is fixed to the face of the building and type 120 can be recessed into the building fabric above the window.

They can be manually operated from within the building but for ease and convenience Hemara blinds are motorised. For optimum energy saving they should be automatically controlled to react to varying weather conditions and can be linked to a Building or Home Management System.
