Energy efficiency, comfort, safety and flexibility shape the requirements of modern buildings. Bus systems support these requirements through networked control and room automation. From single-family homes to large-scale buildings, WAREMA solutions enable reliable control of sun shading systems. KNX, BAline, Modbus and BACnet offer flexible functions for different project requirements.

  • Established standard in home and building automation for components and devices from different manufacturers
  • Parameters of WAREMA KNX actuators are tailored to sun shading applications
  • Commissioning, diagnostics and troubleshooting via smartphone app using a Bluetooth interface
  • KNX Secure actuators enable protected communication and restrict access to authorized participants

  • Modular, freely programmable control system for networking different building services
  • Integration into KNX or LON networks
  • Planning, project engineering and commissioning of room automation units
  • Function blocks enable sun-position-dependent slat tracking, annual shading, implementation of wind studies, and presence-dependent heating and cooling support

  • Open protocol for components and devices from different manufacturers
  • Central management of connected devices
  • WAREMA Modbus actuators enable the integration of sun shading products into building systems

  • Network protocol for building automation
  • Gateways enable cross-manufacturer communication
  • WAREMA BACnet actuators can directly control sun shading and transmit status information such as position or slat angle to a higher-level control unit

  • Measurement of wind speed, brightness, twilight, precipitation and temperature
  • Transmission of weather data to the system for demand-based control of the sun shading system
  • Limit values can be set centrally or in the room automation unit to automate defined movement commands

  • The slats of external venetian blinds are automatically adjusted to the current position of the sun.
  • The cut-off function supports a slat position that reduces direct sunlight while allowing diffuse daylight to be used for room illumination.
  • Slat tracking is a room automation function described in VDI 3813 Part 2.

  • Calculation of the shading pattern for defined window areas over the course of the day and year
  • Consideration of shadows cast by the surroundings, for example by courtyards or neighbouring buildings
  • Window-specific control of the sun shading system based on the calculated shading situation
  • Can reduce movements when window areas are already shaded

  • Results from wind studies can be taken into account when planning and configuring the sun shading control system.
  • Based on the wind study, suitable measuring points on the building can be determined on a project-specific basis.
  • Wind direction and wind speed can be taken into account individually for sun shading products.
  • Enables demand-based, wind-dependent use of the sun shading system.
  • Supports wind-related planning and control of the sun shading system.
