Facade management systems
Facade management systems provide centralised management for any type of solar shading and window opening device within an entire building or facade. A central user interface allows a building manager to monitor and operate all shading devices within a building from a local PC. Occupants can adjust shades to their preferred settings via local control units, wall mounted switchs or remote controls.
Different systems are available depending on the number of shading devices being controlled, functionality and the requirment to interface with other building services such as; lighting and heating systems.
For further information refer to facade management systems
Local user controls
For every project development, it is important to consider the needs of end users. Local user controls should be provided for occupants to control different aspects of the indoor environment e.g. control of blinds to eliminate direct heat gain and glare. Varieties of local controls are available; from wall mounted switches to remote controls using different technologies. These may include: radio (RTS), infrared, wired or digital technology
