Have an efficient control system for motorized blinds and shutter is essential to achieve a significant reduction of energy resources, both lighting, maximizing natural light and air conditioning, building or avoiding direct sunlight, according to each season.

Furthermore, by suitable control systems blinds and shutters, you may avoid light pollution outside when the outside light is low, near dusk.

This helps create strategies for obtaining LEED credits according to several specifications of this standard .

In the control system of blinds and shutters mainly engaged 3 types of products:

• Shutter actuators 
• Weather Station
• Switches,  Controllers or Room Controllers

KNX shutter actutators are responsible for carrying interior blinds or curtains at the appropriate level dynamically to obtain or avoid direct solar radiation through shading depending on temperature in each season.

KNX Weather Station is able to measure different variables useful in establishing energy efficiency actions and control strategies that help achieve LEED. Knowing precisely the outside temperature, if it is day or night, if it's raining, wind speed, solar azimuth and the level of external brightness is very useful for efficient programming blinds and internal blinds motorized in a building.

Switches,  Controllers or KNX Room Controllers are responsible for providing user control system of blinds and shutters, with its keypads and displays representing states with the position of the blind and monitoring all the weather station variables send.

Thanks to these three control elements can be established control policies, based on automatic controls and simultaneously give all control to the user if they want to change specific situations.
