The safety and effectiveness of automatic shading depend on representative sensors and explainable control rules.

Wind safety

A sheltered wind sensor can underestimate façade load; one in local acceleration can cause excessive alarms.

Solar load

Global irradiance, façade orientation and shading jointly determine whether a façade is actually loaded.

Control logic

Hysteresis, delay and fail-safe states prevent hunting and unsafe conditions. Final settings belong with the supplier and installer.

Practical application
DNS Meteo translates these principles into site-specific analysis and actionable measures.
