Big Green: Mechanized Shades

[Ralph Bicknese]

Mecho shade has been working well here for over a year.  They are tiesd to a
photocell and go down and up in thirds ion the east and west facades in
response to the exterior light levels to control glare and heat.

 

Cheers,

Ralph

Bozeman Public Library- Bozeman, Montana. Shades were controlled by a device
mounted to the roof that monitored the azimuth and altitude of the sun.
Company was Blinds & More out of Montana. We had some issues with shades
sensors and the lighting sensors. They didn't communicate as well as we had
hoped and had been promised by the consultants.

I'm looking for project references to call regarding experience with
automated shades.  Any thoughts?
