Automated window treatments can significantly reduce energy loss, lower cooling and heating bills and improve office comfort. Most of the heating energy escapes through windows and during the cooling seasons, sunlight enters your home to become heat.
Most types of automated window treatments will lead to energy savings, but it will depend on the climate, the season and the way in which office users utilize them. Reducing energy loss through the windows will help maintain room temperature and lower energy bills. Here are the different ways in which automated window treatments can help lower the heating and cooling costs in your office.
Remote Access
Modern motorization and automation features from various companies make it easy to operate window treatments from any location. Whether you are doing it from a switch on the walls or remote control, you will no longer need to handle hanging cords that are both worrisome and cumbersome especially if you have young children.
Automated window treatments come with various remote control options. As a property owner, you can select the type of remote control that suits your needs. You should understand that some choices are expensive compared to others. A one channel remote switch is suitable for single windows or a group of windows you are planning to control at the same time. On the other hand, a multi-channel remote option allows office users to manage up to five or six programmable windows at once.
These smart devices work well in properties with multiple rooms and groups of shades. They also have programmable timers that help schedule shade movements based on the time of the day. Automated window treatments allow you to control your room temperature while at any location, resulting in low energy consumption.
Power Options
There are many ways to power automated window treatments. They have a direct current power adapter that does not require batteries, and they are suitable when the power outlets are nearby. The battery tubes are ideal when the power outlets are not near the window. Currently, there are solar power automated window treatment kits that use sunlight to generate energy which reduces the amount of energy consumption.
Reduce Heating from the Surrounding
All types of automated window treatments minimize the amount of heat that gets into offices from the surroundings. Some window treatments such as the solar blinds are excellent at reducing the heat from the environment without compromising both the level and amount of light that enters the office. If you install them in hot climates, your room will become more relaxed than it was before. It also makes the place more tolerable concerning comfort and temperature.
Using the window treatments to reduce the temperature of a room is not only a perfect way to keeping the whole facility cool, but it also helps to reduce your cooling and heating costs. Even if you have heating and cooling units in your office such as air condoners, you will discover that you need to use these systems less often than usual.
