We sat down with Elliot and Ben from Somfy Projects to discuss the state of commercial shading in 2024 and why automation needs to be considered more often and earlier in commercial projects. 

Daylight harvesting, thermal retention and exclusion, occupant well-being, staff productivity, privacy and dark skies regulations are all discussed in this comprehensive conversation with the industry experts in automated shading from both Somfy and Umbra.
