The Solir passive cooling system offers a range of advantages that enhance the operational efficiency of buildings
Energy Efficiency and Carbon Reduction
The material is designed to reflect a substantial portion of solar energy while still allowing natural light to illuminate your spaces, reducing the need for both artificial lighting and air conditioning. This dual-action approach not only slashes energy bills but also enhances the overall energy profile of your property. In today’s environmentally conscious market, decarbonization is not just a goal, but a necessity for building owners. Solir shades contribute directly to this effort by minimizing the dependency on energy-consuming cooling systems.
Extending the Lifetime of Mechanical Systems
By minimizing the amount of solar heat entering the building, Solir shades keep indoor temperatures more stable. This stability means that HVAC systems don't have to cycle on and off as frequently to maintain set temperatures, which not only conserves energy but also reduces wear and tear on the equipment. Prolonging the lifespan of HVAC units translates into lower maintenance costs and deferred capital expenditures on new equipment, providing substantial financial benefits over time.
Compliance
As governments and municipalities continue to tighten standards to meet climate action goals, installing Solir shades can significantly ease the process of meeting these regulations. By reducing energy consumption and enhancing thermal comfort, Solir shades help building owners align with requirements such as LEED certification, Energy Star ratings, and local green building codes. This compliance support can be crucial for avoiding penalties, qualifying for government incentives, and maintaining a competitive edge in the property market.
Competitive Advantage
By effectively managing solar heat gain, our material maintains cooler and more consistent indoor temperatures, glare reduction, and natural daylight, ensuring a more pleasant and productive environment. This not only appeals to potential tenants looking for comfort, but also supports property owners in commanding premium rents and achieving higher occupancy rates. By integrating Solir technology, property owners can leverage comfort as a key differentiator, making buildings more attractive to prospective tenants who value a sustainable and comfortable living or working space.
“Before the installation, I used to get a lot of calls and emails from employees that were too hot or too cold in the office. After the install, the climate in the space is more consistent, doesn’t vary as much, and has been easier on the air handlers.
Thankfully, the calls have basically stopped for those types of complaints.”
