Shade Specifier

Launched in February 2008, is the most advanced solar shading software in Europe. Shade Specifier simply illustrates the financial and environmental benefits of using appropriate solar shading to buildings.

This innovative software models a typical commercial building and a typical house allowing the user to select location, orientation, glass type and shading type to show the benefits of internal and/or external shading in combating solar gain, winter heat loss and glare.
