The ROI of solar protection and automated solution has been shading devices.” evaluated thanks to Enerk. “Enerk is a computer program to design Except for the solar protection and its automatism, the same room HVAC systems in close connection with the façade and its solar has been simulated.

0) Indoor Venetian blinds always down. Artificial light dimmed to guarantee 500 Lux at the desk level. 1) No solar protection. 2) Fixed louvers with vanes at 45 °. 3) Automated outside blinds (threshold 250 W/m2). 4) Automated outside blinds optimizing daylighting (based on Animeo® Algorithms) 5) As 4) + motorized ventilation window for night cooling (based on Animeo Algorithms).
