Various measures can be implemented to improve the economic efficiency of different spaces.
13.1 Adjusting Curtains or Window Coverings
Automated control of window coverings—closing, opening, or adjusting them to the optimal position—helps conserve energy.
- During cold seasons, preventing unnecessary heat loss reduces heating needs and energy costs.
- During warm seasons, minimizing heat gain reduces cooling needs and energy consumption.
13.2 Temperature Control
Each space’s temperature can be monitored and adjusted according to a pre-set program.
- In occupied spaces, heating and cooling can be optimized to match human needs.
- In storage areas, energy usage can be fine-tuned to preserve materials effectively.
- The cost difference between a regulated and an unregulated space can be substantial, often resulting in short payback periods for automation investments.
13.3 Climate Protection
The measures mentioned above contribute significantly to environmental protection. However, an even greater impact is achieved when the energy used in the space comes from renewable sources such as solar or wind power.
