Natural Light without Heat and Glare

BRIEF

According to Randstad Workmonitor 2012, Australians work some of the longest hours in the world. As we are spending more time in the office, it is becoming more urgent for companies to offer comfortable, inspiring and environmentally-focused workplaces.

Natural light is a major consideration when designing the most efficient workplace as it not only lifts the mood of the space, it also eliminates the need for artificial light. On the other hand, this can lead to issues with heat and glare placing greater demand on air conditioning to maintain temperatures year-round.

SOLUTION

Hunter Douglas Commercial has products that allow the entry of natural light whilst also creating a barrier to the sun's heat and glare. These include our range of internal Sunscreens which provide excellent energy savings, regulating temperatures of 5 -10 degrees depending on the fabric. One of our highly effective Sunscreen fabrics is GREENSCREEN® NRG 3%. Made from 100% polyester, recyclable yarn, GREENSCREEN® NRG 3% does not exceed the maximum VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) criteria specified by the Green Building Council of Australia meaning it not only reduces heat and glare, but protects against UV rays. A perfect solution!
