Being Energy Smart with Somfy

Wendy Moore, General Manager of Home Beautiful Magazine, talks you through the energy efficiency benefits of motorising your window coverings with Somfy.

"With a bit of smart planning when you're building a home, there are lots of ways that you can cut energy consumption and save money in the long run," says Wendy.

"Solar panels, energy-efficient applicances, they all play a part, as do your window furnishings, starting with motorised blinds,"

"If you're lucky enough to have lots of windows flooding your living area with sun, then that's a great natural heat source in winter,"

"In summer, when the room reaches a certain light threshold, sensors tell the blinds to lower, helping to keep the house cooler so you're less likely to turn on the air con,"

"In winter, if you have roller blinds, you can set them to close as the sun goes down, trapping the warmth inside,"

"All these actions are pre-programmed within the app that you control from your devices, so your blinds are doing the thinking for you,"

"That means when you get home, the temperature inside is perfect!"
