Building Management:
- Improved energy savings when all the window shades are down during extreme weather and when the building is empty. And the shades stay down until manually raised, resulting in much higher utilization of their energy benefit.
- "Smash & Grab" theft can be discouraged.
- Buildings look better when all the shades are uniformly down.
- Advanced fabrics can improve natural lighting and reduce hot spots in a room.
Security & Safety:
- SecurShade can remove sight lines into rooms across a whole campus in under 10 seconds.
- The very rapid closure of all the shades can provide a strong visual alert, inside and outside the building, even for the hearing impaired.
- Where the system was activated instantly appears on the administration's monitor and texts of the location can be sent to the appropriate authorities. This allows for better decision making on who should flee the building.
- With all the window shades lowered there is an added protection from flying glass during severe weather or an earthquake.
- The system can be activated by anyone using a remote with very long range, or by wall switch.
- The system can be integrated with other building management systems.
Improved Teaching Environment:
- Remote control over window shades can provide teachers added peace of mind from the "fishbowl effect."
- Remote lowering of shades in a single classroom for an AV presentation, etc., allows the teacher to better control the class.
