When the wind alarm value is exceeded, the standard set automation triggers the closing movement immediately (up to 3 sec.), protecting the system from the effects of the wind. The wind alarm blocks the manual and automatic opening of the system until the wind speed remains below the alarm value for 10 minutes.
The most commonly used wind sensors in awnings are shock sensors, and in other systems the popular 'windmills', which also come in a version with an integrated sun sensor. Priority is always given to the wind alarm - when it is triggered, other functions are temporarily blocked. If a wind sensor is installed, the automation only leads to the closing of the system. If a sun sensor is used at the same time, an opening/closing movement is triggered when the wind stops (10 minutes below the alarm value) and the light intensity exceeds the threshold value for 2 minutes.
Modern construction is increasingly based on the premise that energy efficiency does not stem from a single element, but from the well-designed interaction between windows and doors and sunshades integrated with control systems. In this context, home automation becomes a tool for...
Rising temperatures and increasingly frequent heatwaves during the summer months mean that thermal comfort inside buildings is becoming one of the key challenges of modern architecture. However, there is an increasing search for alternatives to energy-intensive air conditioning –...
Choosing window frames is one of the most important decisions when building or renovating a house. Windows are crucial not only for the comfort of living, but also for the safety, energy efficiency and durability of the entire investment. In this context, certificates are an impo...
