ES-SO : solar protection to reduce energy consumption

The use of solar shading could reduce energy consumption for space cooling in European buildings by up to 60% by 2050. It would avoid the emission of 100 million tons of CO2 and save 285 billion euros.

Based on the findings of a new scientific study conducted by Guidehouse, ES-SO is calling for the mandatory implementation of automated solar protection systems in the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD
