AI shading adjustments offer real-time control over lighting, temperature, and energy efficiency in modern commercial spaces.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MHT Technologies, a leader in smart building solutions, has joined forces with Somfy, the world's largest manufacturer of motors for interior window coverings and exterior solar protections, to bring cutting-edge shade automation technology to commercial buildings. This partnership combines MHT's advanced Inspextor Pro Shade Automation system with Somfy's award winning Sonesse® 40 PoE range of motors.
"Through our collaboration with Somfy, we are setting a new benchmark for comfort, adaptability, and sustainability in commercial spaces," said Akram "AK" Khalis, CEO of MHT Technologies. "Our Inspextor Pro Shade Automation system allows buildings to dynamically respond to environmental changes, creating energy-efficient spaces tailored to occupant needs while supporting operational goals."
At the core of this innovation is MHT Technologies' Inspextor Pro Shade Automation, a neural network-powered system that interprets real-time data on sunlight, temperature, and occupancy. "Typically, the programming of smart shades relies on too many 'if' statements, which can limit their efficiency and responsiveness," Khalis explained. "Our Inspextor Pro Shade Automation overcomes these limitations, making shade operation more intuitive and effective."
This intelligent system automatically adjusts shades in response to changing conditions, allowing commercial buildings to maintain ideal lighting and climate settings while minimizing energy use. By leveraging automated, data-driven shade adjustments, the system reduces reliance on artificial lighting and cooling, supporting sustainability goals while lowering operational costs. It also ensures occupant comfort and productivity by maintaining ideal lighting and temperature conditions automatically, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Additionally, facility managers benefit from flexible control options, enabling them to set custom schedules or make on-demand adjustments to meet the unique needs of each space.
This solution is adaptable to various applications, providing functionality and comfort across different sectors. In office buildings, automated shades minimize glare and balance natural light, fostering a comfortable and productive work environment. For hospitality venues such as hotels and resorts, the system enhances ambiance by adjusting shades to meet guest preferences in lobbies, conference rooms, and event spaces. Healthcare facilities benefit from controlled lighting that improves patient comfort, while educational institutions see optimized lighting and temperature that promote student focus, creating an ideal learning environment.
With this partnership, we're empowering businesses to achieve both sustainability and comfort through intelligent shading solutions, said Russell Horowitz, National Specifications Manager. "Together with MHT, we're offering a solution that not only addresses energy efficiently but also enhances the well-being and productivity of occupants."
Together, MHT Technologies and motors powered by Somfy are pioneering intelligent shading solutions that adapt to environmental changes, enhancing sustainability, comfort, and energy efficiency in commercial spaces.
