Intelli-Shade | November 2023

Dear Valued Partners,

According to a recent study, consumers continue to prioritize long vacations abroad in the coming 12 months, meaning the demand for hotels and airlines will continue to surge. While hotels continue to renovate with new features and services to accommodate the post-pandemic era, there is a need to focus on various aspects of their operations to reduce their environmental impact and enhance guest experiences.

One area that has gained significant attention is shade management, which plays a vital role in promoting energy eciency, guest comfort, and the preservation of natural resources. By strategically utilizing shades, blinds, or curtains, hotels can regulate sunlight and heat, reducing the need for artificial cooling and heating systems. This not only lowers energy consumption but also contributes to the overall sustainability of the hotel. Effective shade management also protects interior assets from the damaging effects of UV rays, minimizing waste and supporting resource conservation.

In this issue, we will talk about Somfy's 2030 ambition, our progress to achieve sustainability goals and increase effciency for our customers' needs. We will also talk about our products and recent hospitality projects that helped our clients reducing environmental impact while enhancing guest experiences.

Best Regards,

Vishal ARORA
