Sensors serve to record the momentary weather situation with regard to any building. The values measured which influence sun protection control include:
For security
- wind speed - for protection against destruction
- temperature and precipitation - in combination as a protection against frost and subsequent product destruction, and a sole measurement of precipitation for protection against moisture on blinds or windows.
For comfort
- Brightness level for the different automatic brightness system(s)– degree in temperature for winter gardens or solar energy yield and also protection against overheating.
Diverse applications
- Global radiation. This kind of sensor measures the actual energy irradiation on the building and as a rule provides heat protection.
