CORRECT USE OF YOUR AWNING FOR BETTER ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Esta entrada también está disponible en: Spanish

An awning is not only something that makes your outdoor spaces more beautiful and comfortable, it is also something that presents itself as a real environmental advantage and as an energy saving solution. Since 2002, the European Parliament has considered sun protection as a solution to reduce energy consumption.

THE INSTALLATION OF AN AWNING ALLOWS TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT.

An awning can reduce the temperature of your home between 5 and 8ºC depending on the color of the canvas and its correct use. Therefore, we suggest you open your awning before starting your air conditioner. In the end, this small gesture can reduce the electricity consumption of your home by between 20 and 30%, which will help you save money and emit less CO2.

IN SUMMER: Unfold the awnings during the time that the sun shines on your terraces and windows, and fold them at night to allow the passage of air that will cool your home. Thus, your air conditioning equipment will cool faster with the consequent energy savings.

IN WINTER: You should keep your awning up during the day and unfold it at night to protect the doors and windows from the direct impact of the cold wind, thus we will keep our house warmer and we will need to use the heating for less time.

At Toldos Guardamar we have the necessary experience and knowledge to provide you with the best solution for your home to achieve greater energy efficiency.
