Connected to the building management system, sun control systems can be controlled in combination with cooling and heating and even the lighting levels. This allows creating interior comfort with minimum building energy use.

Hunter Douglas® EOS pro can be used easily in a KNX/EIB installation. The EOS KNX interface makes it possible to control Hunter Douglas products completely from KNX including roller blinds, Venetian blinds, screens, Duette® shades and sliding shutters, etc.

The new European standard NEN 15232 which deals with the energy performance of buildings and the regulations specified for building management will play an important role. Optimum energy performance for NEN 15232 prescribes that the operation of sun control devices, lighting and HVAC will have to be completely integrated in building management!

By properly aligning sun control devices with (natural) light, temperature and cooling in relation to each other in every area, optimal comfort and energy solutions can be created, as well as making a significant contribution to the labour productivity of the users in these areas.
