Multi-storey buildings for commercial uses as well as residential towers are extremely exposed to sun rays and heat. During the design and construction phase, these buildings should be compliant with stringent regulations and standards related to safety and sustainability. Architects, engineers and constructors and other entities apply building codes to design and construct structures that adhere to the latest local policies and rules.
Construction materials such as insulating glass and thermal blocks are very useful in creating energy efficiency and solar protection. In addition to that, the use of solar shades is extremely effective to reduce the heat and glare inside the building, which makes it healthier and more sustainable.
Climate changes and overheating are recognized as a growing problem because excessive heat and glare can negatively impact health, wellbeing and productivity of the occupants. Using effective building materials is one of the solutions required to minimize thermal discomfort due to high-peak temperatures and solar radiation
If you are looking for a more productive workday, you may think about protecting your employees, visitors, and computers with convenient solutions. At home, reducing heat and AC bills is feasible when you opt for energy-efficient blinds and curtains. Issues caused by overheating and UV rays in high-rise buildings can be resolved when the materials used for construction are able to insulate heat and reflect UV rays.
The negative effects of excessive heat can harm your health and indoor environment and increase cost of energy, too. Good air and moderate temperature help you improve wellbeing, work productivity and learning efficiency.
So, what are the most effective ways to reduce sun rays and heat?
To achieve thermal comfort, it is crucial to take the required actions that reduce excessive heat and decrease energy consumption. Solutions like shade systems, proper glazing and more can be effective to achieve the required heat insulation and glare control.
Blinds and specialty shades are a cost-effective solution to reduce heat and sun rays especially when combined with a window film on the windows to improve visibility and comfort. Different types of films have varying tints that ensure glare reduction. With window films, you can control the levels of light in your room.
No matter how bright or hot the sun shines, the windows can remain unobscured to let in natural light all day long. Robust, minimal maintenance and made from eco-friendly fabrics, specialty blinds are a straightforward option. If required, both shades and film can be used on the same window as they complement each other.
Other factors that contribute to overheating include solar radiation that may heat the indoor area when passing through glass and urban heat effects from modern materials in built-up areas.
Architects and developers are important contributors in considering the effects of high-rise living and working, as such there have been various research on issues caused by overheating and UV rays.
The use of interior shades such as blackout roller blinds help you also to reduce solar rays when the use of glass with low energy transmittance is not sufficient. Blackout blinds will block light and solar rays thanks to the reflective surface of fabrics. Keeping the indoor cooler in summer and warmer in winter is easily achieved with effective solar shades that keep glare and heat out, creating a thermally comfortable indoor space all year round.
