NATURALLY FEELING GOOD... Get inspired by our Healthy Residential Comfort ® Renson is innovation with a clear vision: ensuring the occupant’s health and comfort, whilst taking energy effi ciency and the added value of aesthetics into consideration. How can you optimise your design aesthetically and functionally? Thanks to the combination of ventilation, nightcooling, sun shading and outdoor solutions, Renson is creating healthy and comfortable living and working spaces, whilst energy consumption is reduced to a minimum. Healthy indoor air quality The continuous supply of fresh air and the extraction of contaminated air through a demand-driven ven- tilation system enables to breathe healthy air at all times. First, it is important to extract polluted air from rooms and ensure it is replaced with fresh air. As people themselves are not able to detect changes in air quality or too high concentrations of CO 2 or VOC’s, it is important that the ventilation level can be automatically adapted. Through integrated, in- telligent sensors in a central demand-controlled ven- tilation unit, the ventilation will only go to a higher extraction level in those rooms where higher ventila- tion levels are required. This automatic adaptation saves 30 to 50% of energy as compared with a permanent ventilation fl ow. Ventilative cooling and a controlled indoor climate Ventilative cooling, also known as ‘nightcooling’, is the principle where cooler outside air is used to na- turally cool down the house. Large natural air fl ows are conducted into the house via louvres. Outside sun control guarantees comfort at 3 levels: thermal, visual and aesthetic comfort. Exterior window blinds allow the warmth of the sun to enter when required, but prevent unnecessary Healthbox ® 3.0 cooling costs on warmer days. Large glass panels are frequently chosen in contemporary architecture, while excessive sunlight can cause overheating, disruptive refl ections on screens and discoloration of the furniture and decor. An effi cient outdoor sunscreen – sun control blades for the frame, brise- soleil above the window, sliding panels or wind-re- sistant screens – enables the occupants to enjoy the sun at any time of the day. The systems stop the sun rays from heating the interior, without disturbing the garden view. Architectural unity Aluminium blades provide striking facades with straight continuous lines. The ventilation and sun- screen systems are hardly noticeable from the in- side, while invisible door systems ensure that closed doors and walls appear as one, without any disrup- tive frames and hinges. Outdoor climate in style Whatever the weather, people like to spend as much time as possible outside. There you need to consider nature’s elements. Renson offers a com- plete range of aluminium pergolas as a solution for that. All the systems are based on a sturdy alumini- um structure, combined with a fabric sun protection Grilles/Linius ® Panovista ® Max roof that easily slides open and shuts (Lagune & Lapure), or with a louvred roof with aluminium lou- vres that can tilt 150° (Algarve & Camargue). By incorporating wind-resistant screens, glass sliding doors, wooden or aluminium Loggia sliding panels, these pergolas become extra outdoor spaces that offer protection against sun, wind and rain. Thanks to these pergolas, the terrace can be used from early in the morning ‘till late at night. Interested in getting a personal CPD presentation on this topic?
