Commercial buildings consume 39% of the energy and 74% ofthe electricity generated from oil,gas, nuclear and coal fired plants,which adversely impacts theenvironment. Fossil based powergeneration releases CO2 whichcontributes to global climatechange, and coal fired stationscreate acid rain!
That’s why the USGBC’s LEED® program drives architects todesign sustainable buildings
that save energy, let natural light in,keep heat out, and allow occupantsto look out their windows. By usingC/S Solarmotion, architects canaccomplish all of these goals.
For more than twenty-five years C/S has helped architects realize theaesthetic and functional benefits of using controllable sunshades ontheir buildings. C/S Solarmotion™not only reduces heat and glare, it can save the ownersignificant reductions on their
overall air conditioning loadrequirement and in lighting energyusage. And several studies show thatbuildings that employ daylightmanagement systems increase workerproductivity, lower absenteeism andimprove educational performance.And our new Solarmotion line ofControllable Sunshades also offersarchitects infinite architecturalfreedom to create an exciting anddynamic building facade.

C/S Solarmotion™ Controllable Sunshades
Solarmotion creates adynamic facade and is themost effective way to reduceenergy consumption andmaximize occupant comfort.
C/S Solarmotion controllable sunshade system tracks thesun to maximize the control of light and heat entering thebuilding’s interior. By effectively controlling the sun on all elevations, at all times of the day and throughout theyear, Solarmotion can significantly reduce a building’senergy and capital equipment costs. Solarmotionsunshades prevent over or under shading so buildingoccupants can always enjoy the benefits of natural daylight.Perfect for all sustainable buildings, Solarmotion�can�helparchitects�gain�significant�LEED®�credits.
Total design freedomWith Solarmotion your building can look exactly the wayyou want your exterior to look. Whether you prefer ahorizontal or vertical system, C/S can offer dozens ofmullion, blade and finish options, or we can supply you
with a complete custom system.
A 25 year track record C/S Operating Sun Controls havebeen hard at work reducing energycosts on numerous buildingsworldwide since 1985. And most of our operating systems are still in service reducing heat, glare andenergy costs. C/S Operating Sun
Controls were installed in 1997 over the gallery skylights of the J. Paul Getty Art Museum to provide filtered sunlightto each of the galleries and to prevent the sun’s U.V. rays from damaging valuable artwork.
Here’s how it works
Throughout the day, Solarmotion gradually adjusts to the precise angle of the sun. our system even takes atmospheric conditions into account.
Independent Energy Study Substantiates the resultsC/S hired an independent engineering firm to model the energy and capital cost savings that an owner would achieve by using C/S ControllableSunshades on a ten story building in Dallas and four other cities throughoutthe U.S. and Canada. The test building’s facade includes standard doubleglazed low-E glass on all elevations. The results of the computer model inthe chart below show the energy usage/savings with and without C/SControllable Sunshades. The engineering firm utilized a recognized buildingmodeling program.

External Venetian Blinds (EVBs) are a simple yet
effective solution to controlling heat and glare,
while allowing filtered daylight to enter a
building’s interior. And EVBs are the perfect
shading solution for retrofit application.
How EVBs WorkMounted in front of the window, external
venetian blinds reduce the sun’s 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 mullions
feature a clean, streamline design with no
exposed fasteners. C/S’ 3-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.
