4 FOR SMART LUXURY Unique, customized solutions Your clients are unique, and as such their development needs are also incomparable. With Somfy, a building s curtains, Venetian blinds, roller shutters, screens and patio awnings play a major role in both comfort and privacy. These elements play a triple role: they protect (lighting control, protection of private spaces), regulate (thermal comfort) and create atmosphere (modify natural light, transform spaces). As such, they are key assets for your image. In any season, day and night, hotels change with the day to day activity of their occupants, adapting to their needs at the touch of a button. Hotel Arts Barcelona - Architect: Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM) Burj Dubai - Dubai - Architect: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) - Interior Design: Giorgio Armani (Armani Hotels) All 300 rooms in our hotel have motorized curtains, which means reductions in maintenance and cleaning costs, operational costs (due to the remote control system), and housekeeping costs (less time spent in each room). What s more, our curtains now look more attractive too, as they are handled less. Hotel chain development manager comment.

7 FOR IMPROVED MANAGEMENT Profitable equipment and a measurable investment Somfy understands that cost and the comfort of your guests are two of your key concerns, and Somfy equipment allows you to reduce both your energy and maintenance expenditure. Automated sun protection devices enable you to reduce your heating and air conditioning requirements and to adapt your equipment accordingly. At the same time, by limiting hands-on contact with your curtains and sun protection devices, you are able to extend their lifespan and keep them looking fresher for longer. The option to centralize all controls also significantly reduces your cleaning and maintenance costs. Bioclimatic façades: a sure-fire return on investment For just 1% to 2% of the total building cost > 20% to 40% energy savings. Energy savings with automated sun protection devices: Lund s University Energy and Building Design Dept. of Architecture and Built Environment, has developped a simulation tool, analyzing and comparing different types of solar protection and their impact on building s energy saving; such study can be made, specifically, on a particular project. Simulation conditions: 39,5 m 2 hotel room with a window measuring 6,2 m 2 (double glazing, U: 2.88 W/m2K, g: 0.77), sun protection device: white PVC shades and comparison between sun protection device and no sun protection device, depending on light level (detailed analysis available on demand).
