Commercial buildings consume

39% of the energy and 74% of

the electricity generated from oil,

gas, nuclear and coal fired plants,

which adversely impacts the

environment. Fossil based power

generation releases CO2 whichcontributes to global climate

change, and coal fired stations

create acid rain!

Thats why the USGBCs LEED

program drives architects to

design sustainable buildings

that save energy, let natural light in,

keep heat out, and allow occupants

to look out their windows. By using

C/S Solarmotion, architects can

accomplish all of these goals.

For more than twenty-five years

C/S has helped architects realize theaesthetic and functional benefits

of using controllable sunshades on

their buildings. C/S Slamtin

C/S Slamtin Cntllable Sunshades

Solarmotion creates adynamic facade and is themost effective way to reduceenergy consumption andmaximize occupant comfort.

C/S Solarmotion controllable sunshade system tracks the

sun to maximize the control of light and heat entering the

buildings interior. By effectively controlling the sun on

all elevations, at all times of the day and throughout the

year, Solarmotion can significantly reduce a buildings

energy and capital equipment costs. Solarmotion

sunshades prevent over or under shading so building

occupants can always enjoy the benefits of natural daylight.

Perfect for all sustainable buildings, Solarmotioncanhelp

With Solarmotion your building can look exactly the way

you want your exterior to look. Whether you prefer a

horizontal or vertical system, C/S can offer dozens of

mullion, blade and finish options, or we can supply you

with a complete custom system.

C/S Operating Sun Controls have

been hard at work reducing energy

costs on numerous buildings

worldwide since 1985. And most

of our operating systems are still

in service reducing heat, glare and

energy costs. C/S Operating Sun

Controls were installed in 1997 over the gallery skylights

of the J. Paul Getty Art Museum to provide filtered sunlight

to each of the galleries and to prevent the suns U.V. rays

from damaging valuable artwork.

Independent Enegy Study Substantiates the results

C/S hired an independent engineering firm to model the energy and

capital cost savings that an owner would achieve by using C/S Controllable

Sunshades on a ten story building in Dallas and four other cities throughout

the U.S. and Canada. The test buildings facade includes standard double

glazed low-E glass on all elevations. The results of the computer model in

the chart below show the energy usage/savings with and without C/S

Controllable Sunshades. The engineering firm utilized a recognized building

modeling program.

External Venetian Blinds (EVBs) are a simple yet

effective solution to controlling heat and glare,

while allowing filtered daylight to enter a

buildings interior. And EVBs are the perfect

shading solution for retrofit application.

How EVBs Wok

Mounted in front of the window, external

venetian blinds reduce the suns heat and glare

before it enters the building. This operable

shading system tilts and moves up and down

to control the sun as required. The slats of these

blinds can be tilted up to 90 degrees to provide

shade from the sun no matter what position the

sun is currently at. The blinds are manufactured

from recycled aluminum, finished with powder

coat finishes and are cycle tested for reliability.

A variety of individual and building controls

are available to operate the blinds.

C/S Solarmotion Technology

C/S Solarmotion mullions are designed for

typical spans. These sunshades are generally

attached to the building face with extruded

stand-offs to provide distance between the

sunshade and the building. The mullionsfeature a clean, streamline design with no

exposed fasteners. C/S3-dimensional

adjustable stand-off accommodates

construction tolerances in the building.

See mullion design on right.

C/S offers several types of blade actuating

systems for our Controllable Sunshades.

Designers can select from simple blade

positioning vs. time of day controls to

sophisticated control systems that receive

inputs from the building management

system. We can even provide a control

system designed for different building

zones. Independent zones can be controlled

depending on their exact location and

conditions. See Solarmotion controls below.

Solarmotion Control Options

Universal Remote

Using radio

technology, one

remote control can

control Solarmotion

shades individually

or collectively.

Solar Tracking

Controller

This control system

tracks the sun and

positions the sunshade

to block direct glare

while allowing natural

daylight into the interior.

Building Management

Control System

Programmed by a PC this

system receives climatic

data from a weather

comfort and energy savings

depending on occupancy.
