Today, 21st March 2023, the first “Global Shading Day” is launched, promoted by ES-SO, the European Solar Shading Organization, in order to promote and raise awareness among public and governments on the advantages that sun protection systems are able to bring in terms of benefits to humanity, the environment and the economy.
The climate change challenge, due to overheating, that this and future generations will have to face is now well known: in the light of objective data, a help towards it could certainly be provided by sun protection systems.
A scientific study carried out by the German consultancy for public and commercial markets Guidehouse* has shown that solar shading can lead to CO2 emissions’ reduction of up to 100 million tonnes in the period 2021-2050, allowing estimated savings of around 285 billion euros.
Due to the impact of cooling and heating systems, buildings are in fact responsible for the 40% of energy consumption and the 36% of greenhouse gas emissions; the use of these appliances can be limited thanks to sun protection systems, which allow to modulate the contribution of light and heat as you like, thanks also to the technical fabrics’ characteristics.
The technical fabrics are especially designed to filter light and heat according to very specific needs, such as limiting the effect of glare for environments with VDU operators while still guaranteeing a certain amount of privacy.
Fabrics special optical and solar properties will allow for a more limited use of energy-consuming equipment.
