This way you can optimally adjust your electric sun blinds for maximum energy efficiency

Nothing is as nice as a cool house in the summer and a warm home in the winter. This is usually at the expense of your energy costs. How to reduce your energy bill? Electric sun blinds are the answer!

But how exactly do you do this? And do you have to be focused on your sun blinds all day long like a maniac? Certainly not! In this blog we will tell you exactly how to use your sun blinds smartly. And that without any effort.

The power of automatic sun blinds

With automatic sun blinds you can easily regulate the amount of sunlight in your home. Thanks to the smart integration and responsiveness to changing environmental factors, you make optimal use of the sun's heat. This way you close your sun blinds during the warmest hours of the day, but in winter you let in more sunlight to naturally heat your home.

The result? Minimal use of active cooling

In the morning it is often difficult to estimate what the weather will be like that day. After all, there is nothing as changeable asgrating your automatic sun blinds with climate sensors, the sun blinds adapt to the relevant weather conditions at any time of the day. And that in every season.

Do the sensors detect bright sunlight in summer? The sun blinds then close automatically to prevent a rise in temperature in the house. This reduces the need for air conditioning, which in turn leads to energy savings. Now that's smart handling of the temperature.

Tip 2: use your sun blinds as insulation

Did you know that sun protection can also serve as a perfect insulator? In winter, it can help to keep the heat indoors. Sun protection, such as roller shutters, provides an extra layer of insulation and prevents heat loss through the windows. Roller shutters serve as an extra air buffer between the glass and the outside air.

Great, because this way you optimally reduce your heating costs. And don't stoke the fire for the entire neighborhood. Read more about how you save energy with roller shutters here.

Tip 3: maximize daylight in your home

In addition to regulating the temperature, you can also expand your electric sun blinds with daylight sensors. This means that your sun blinds automatically adjust to let in the maximum amount of natural light.

The result? That you are less dependent on artificial light sources to illuminate your home. And that also flows back into your wallet: it reduces energy consumption for lighting. Economical and efficient.
