“SolarTrac® System operating on a typical day”

2:40 p.m. SolarTrac® positions shades on the south elevation ¾ down. Shades on the west elevation are adjusted to the 1st position, ¼down. The light-dimming system senses enough daylight for the overhead lights to remain off.

3:20 p.m. SolarTrac® lowers the shades on the west elevation ¾ down. Shades on the south elevation begin to turn on as the sun angle becomes lower in the west.

4:35 p.m. SolarTrac®—in reaction to the solar-gain and glare conditions that occur at sunset—lowers the shades on the west elevation to the full-down position. Shades on the south elevation ¾ down. In response to the light conditions, the light-dimming system turns on some of the lights while leaving others off.

5:45 p.m. “At about dusk, the sun is below the horizon. SolarTrac® reacts by raising the shades on the west elevation and shades on the south elevation (left foreground of image) to the full-up position. This provides occupants with exterior views and allows natural daylight to enter the interior. “

MechoShade ThermoVeil®, EuroVeil® & Euro Twill line of shade cloths are specifically designed to complement all types of window glazing. MechoShade pioneered the concept of “visually transparent shading” that filters natural light and controls glare and heat gain while providing a partial view, through the shade. The main reasons to specify MechoShade are the warranty of the system, the specifications of the fabric being Fire Rated, resistance to bacteria and fungus and being washable and available in 3.2 meters width.
