Indoor Environmental Quality & Productivity PRODUCTIVITY Energy saving strategies and natural resources like daylight, can create a comfortable and productive environment for occupants. Smart, sustainable design that provides good indoor environmental quality is a proven and profitable investment. Seemingly small increases of as little as 1% in productivity could result in a much higher payback than the reduced cost of energy. Workspaces which are comfortable, naturally lit and allow occupants to connect with outdoor space can improve productivity and reduce absenteeism. Research on the relationship between day lighting and productivity shows that the use of daylight without glare resulted in productivity gains in the order of 4%. To fully optimise the benefits of daylight, control systems can be integrated in the sun control solution. SUSTAINABILITY & INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY The environmental footprint of a building includes such factors as the use of energy, water, materials and resources. HunterDouglas Sun Control Systems and Window Covering products can play an excellent role in reducing the environmental footprint, whilst at the same time enhancing the thermal and visual dimensions of indoor environmental quality. COMFORT Comfort can be described as the state of mind that expresses satisfaction with the surrounding environment. Indoor environmental quality has essentially four dimensions: 1. Thermal comfort; 2. Visual comfort; 3. Acoustic comfort; 4. Indoor air quality. It is an accepted fact that people prefer to experience daylight through visual contact with the outside world. This is therefore, generally recognized as an important factor in influencing people s positive emotional state. Situations that cause visual discomfort can frequently arise. The light, glare or reflection levels are just too bright and contrasts too large for optimal working conditions. 10 HunterDouglas Window Covering - Roller Blinds
Energy and Light Tool The function of Window Coverings is to provide visual comfort and heat control. The primary function of interior window coverings is to reduce glare levels and diffusing daylight. The primary function of External Window Coverings is heat control. THERMAL COMFORT External Window Coverings will prevent excessive solar heat gain and reduce the need for cooling in the summer. Moreover, it will also reduce - if not eliminate - the high capacity of cooling equipment needed, resulting in a reduction in the initial investment cost. In colder climates, External Window Coverings will enable the use of solar energy to help heat the building in winter. This is often overlooked when solar control glass is selected for heat control. The Hunter Douglas Energy Tool helps finding an optimum solution by quantifying the effects of various External Window Coverings. The pay-off will be reduced energy costs and often reduced investment cost, and on top of that: reduced greenhouse gas emission during the operation phase of the building. Indoor and outdoor temperature without External Window Covering Thermal comfort at a minimal environmental impact calls for a careful matching of glazing, Sun Control and HVAC equipment. Indoor and outdoor temperature with External Window Covering VISUAL COMFORT Interior Window Coverings enable the use of free renewable daylight to the maximum extent, so significantly reducing the need for artificial lighting and avoiding the associated cooling loads. The accepted factor in creating visual comfort states that the contrast within the field of view should not exceed a factor of 10. The contrast between the central visual task and its direct surroundings should not exceed a factor of 3. When designing an office space, questions often arise around what measures should be considered to guarantee the right level of visual comfort? The Hunter Douglas Light Tool makes the assessment of visual comfort tangible by calculating luminance levels for a model office with and without window coverings. The amount and type of glass, the orientation of the façade, the geographical location, weather, season and time of day are all taken into account before recommendations are made. The Light Tool helps client s asses which window covering provides the aesthetic and performance levels needed to create visual comfort for their particular project. 1 3 10 3 Contrast factor 1:3:10 10 1 Light Tool calculations are based on Radiance (Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories). The scene model consists of approximately 20,000 polygons. Colours and reflection values were measured in an actual model office. HunterDouglas Window Covering - Roller Blinds 11
