Weather-responsive solar shading & building controls

Representative wind, irradiance and temperature data for safe and efficient control.

Indoor climate
  • Moisture and mould risk
  • Comfort and ventilation
  • Practical measures
Why this service

Good control starts with the right outdoor measurement

Screens, blinds, shutters, roof vents and natural ventilation often respond to wind and sun. DNS Meteo assesses sensor representativeness and supports logical, explainable control criteria.

Assessment and analysis

  • ✓ Wind direction, speed and gusts
  • ✓ Global irradiance and façade orientation
  • ✓ Outdoor temperature and internal load
  • ✓ Sensor position relative to the building
  • ✓ Hysteresis, delay and fail-safe logic
  • ✓ Analysis of faults or unwanted behaviour

Deliverables

  • ✓ Assessment of existing outdoor sensors
  • ✓ Advice on sensor location and redundancy
  • ✓ Proposal for control variables and thresholds
  • ✓ High-wind risk analysis
  • ✓ Commissioning and evaluation monitoring plan
Professional scope
Final safety settings and control logic must be coordinated with the supplier or installer of the shading and building-management system.
Practical outcome

Fewer unnecessary movements, better comfort and protected equipment

By combining representative outdoor measurements with building orientation and clear logic, control can respond more accurately to actual conditions.

01

Wind

Safe retraction under relevant load.

02

Sun

Activation based on effective façade load.

03

Temperature

Include comfort and overheating.

04

Logic

Hysteresis, delay and fail-safe.
