Modern buildings are expected to provide comfortable workspaces while minimizing energy consumption. Achieving both goals requires more than manual blinds or scheduled shading—it requires intelligent automation.
Solaris is an AI-powered automated shading solution designed to optimize daylight, reduce glare, and improve building energy performance by continuously adapting to changing environmental conditions.
Unlike traditional shading systems that rely on fixed schedules, Solaris makes intelligent decisions using real-time data.
What Is AI Automated Shading?
AI automated shading is a smart building technology that automatically adjusts motorized blinds or shades based on environmental conditions.
Solaris continuously analyzes multiple data sources, including:
- Sun position
- Building orientation
- Time of day
- Ambient light levels
- Occupancy information
- Weather conditions
Using this information, Solaris determines the optimal shade position to maximize natural daylight while maintaining occupant comfort.
Why Traditional Shading Systems Are No Longer Enough
Many commercial buildings still rely on manual shade control or simple time-based automation.
These approaches often lead to:
- Excessive glare
- Uncomfortable workspaces
- Increased HVAC demand
- Lights remaining on unnecessarily
- Higher energy costs
Since sunlight changes throughout the day and across seasons, fixed schedules cannot provide optimal performance.
Solaris continuously adapts in real time, ensuring the building responds intelligently to changing conditions.
How Solaris Works
Solaris combines astronomical calculations with real-time building data.
Its intelligent decision engine continuously processes:
Solar Position
The platform calculates both solar elevation and solar azimuth to accurately determine how sunlight interacts with every façade.
Building Orientation
Every side of a building receives sunlight differently.
Solaris independently manages each façade for optimal daylight control.
Sensor Integration
Ambient light sensors continuously provide feedback, allowing Solaris to make precise adjustments.
Intelligent Automation
Instead of waiting for occupants to react to glare, Solaris predicts daylight conditions and adjusts motorized shades automatically.
Benefits of AI-Powered Automated Shading
Reduce Glare
Harsh sunlight creates visual discomfort and screen reflections.
Solaris adjusts shades before glare becomes a problem, creating a more comfortable indoor environment.
Improve Occupant Comfort
Balanced daylight creates healthier and more productive workspaces.
Employees experience consistent lighting throughout the day without sudden brightness changes.
Lower Energy Consumption
Natural daylight reduces the need for artificial lighting.
Solaris coordinates shading with lighting control systems, helping reduce electricity usage while maintaining ideal indoor conditions.
Increase Building Sustainability
Lower lighting demand and reduced HVAC usage contribute to lower carbon emissions and support green building initiatives.
