challenges: to provide increasingly personalized services, design innovative and

unique concepts, comply with new environmental legislation and manage costs.

I say that now is time for architecture to recognize its nature, to know that it comes from life.Frank Lloyd Wright (Architect - 1867 -1959)“ ”

FOR SMART LUXURY… Unique, customized solutionsYour clients are unique, and as such their development needs are also incomparable. With Somfy,

a building’s curtains, Venetian blinds, roller shutters, screens and patio awnings play a major role in both

comfort and privacy. These elements play a triple role: they protect (lighting control, protection of private

spaces), regulate (thermal comfort) and create atmosphere (modify natural light, transform spaces).

As such, they are key assets for your image. In any season, day and night, hotels change with the day to day activity of their occupants, adapting to their needs at the touch of a button.

All 300 rooms in our hotel have motorized curtains,which means reductions in maintenance and cleaning costs, operational costs (due to the remote control system), and housekeeping costs (less time spent in each room). What’s more, our curtains now look more attractive too, as they are handled less.Hotel chain development manager comment.

FOR MAGICAL EXPERIENCES…A wealth of new emotionsA simple click on the remote control and the bedroom curtains open, the conference hall projector screen

descends… What if it gets dark? The Venetian blinds automatically open to let in as much light

as possible. And what if the sun is shining on the hotel’s façade? The interior shades descend,

automatically programmed to keep the room cool. With Somfy, hotels become alive, creating a wealth of

new sensations. Somfy solutions fit seamlessly and invisibly into your existing design, playing with light, temperature, air and space… as if by magic.

Somfy solutions open an infinite wealth of possibilities for the use of light and space. Our guests are constantly presented with new sensations and new scenes.Interior designer comment.

FOR enviROnmentally ReSPOnSiBle aRCHiteCtURe…Solutions that meet today’s challengesIn the hospitality sector, the challenges of sustainable development, energy efficiency and respect for

the environment are extremely important. Somfy’s automation solutions optimize natural ventilation

and the sun’s heat, control heat exchange between indoors and outdoors and reduce the need for air

conditioning and heating. They are eco-friendly by nature. They play a key role in creating bioclimatic

façades, establishing a genuine osmosis between indoors and outdoors.

Dynamic Insulation™, daylight management and natural ventilation: three Somfy’s areas of expertise dedicated to creating responsible hotels.

Managing the energy performance of façades requires intelligent equipment. Under the new legislation, these solutions are essential, as well as providing new sources of creative inspiration for architects. Architect comment.

ACtIVE PARtnERSHIPSAlongside other players in the building

industry, Somfy has joined a number

of professional and representative associations

to promote energy efficiency in the building

industry worldwide.

For example, Somfy is a member of the European

Solar Shading Organization (ES-SO), an interface

with major European Union energy saving

programs. It is also a member

of the International Union of Architects (UIA)

and is involve in research programs with several

universities (Carnegie, Lund and Purdue).

LEED CERtIFICAtIOnSomfy equipment can contribute towards 20%

obtaining LEED certification (approximately 20 points

out of 110 and 10 criteria).

they are also conducive to achieving the higher

classification level (Silver, Gold or Platinum).

FOR IMPROVED MANAGEMENT…Profitable equipment and a measurable investmentSomfy understands that cost and the comfort of your guests are two of your key concerns, and Somfy

equipment allows you to reduce both your energy and maintenance expenditure. Automated sun

protection devices enable you to reduce your heating and air conditioning requirements and to adapt your

equipment accordingly.

At the same time, by limiting hands-on contact with your curtains and sun protection devices, you are able

to extend their lifespan and keep them looking fresher for longer. The option to centralize all controls

also significantly reduces your cleaning and maintenance costs.

energy savings with automated sun protection devices:

Lund’s University “Energy and Building Design Dept.

of Architecture and Built Environment”,

has developped a simulation tool,

analyzing and comparing different types

of solar protection and their impact

on building’s energy saving;

such study can be made, specifically,

on a particular project.

Simulation conditionS:

39,5 m2 hotel room with a window measuring 6,2 m2

(double glazing, U: 2.88 W/m2K, g: 0.77), sun protection device: white PVC shades and
