MJI Energy smart shade control — facade shade positions with solar tracking and glare control

Lower peaks

Shed solar gain before chillers ramp up

Automatic

Sun-tracking control, no manual adjustment

BACnet

Integrates with your existing BAS

Retrofit-ready

Motorize existing shades or specify new

What's Included

Your Facade, Working for the Building.

Solar-Responsive Automation

Shades adjust automatically based on sun position, angle, and intensity throughout the day — blocking heat gain before it ever reaches your HVAC load.

Astronomical clock plus optional rooftop or facade sensors.

HVAC Load Integration

Shade positioning coordinates with your cooling systems. On peak-demand days, the building sheds solar gain first — before chillers ramp up.

BACnet integration with your existing BAS. No standalone silo.

Occupancy-Aware Control

Occupied zones prioritize comfort and glare control; unoccupied zones prioritize energy. The system knows the difference and acts on it.

Works with the same occupancy sensors as your lighting controls.

Scheduled Scenes

Morning glare control on east exposures, afternoon heat rejection on west — programmed once, adjusted seasonally, running automatically.

Per-facade and per-zone scheduling with manual override support.

Unified Dashboard

Shade positions live in the same interface as HVAC, lighting, and energy data. One login, complete visibility, full manual control when you want it.

Accessible from desktop or mobile. Full audit log retained.

Tenant Comfort Wins

Less glare on screens, fewer hot spots by the windows, and a facade that responds to the day — comfort complaints drop when shading is automated.

Per-zone tenant override available where leases require it.

Who It's For

Built for the People Who Feel the Afternoon Sun.

Facility Managers

One less system to babysit.

Automated shading runs itself and reports into the same dashboard as everything else — no separate vendor app, no manual seasonal adjustments.

Property Managers

Comfort complaints drop. So does the cooling bill.

Solar heat gain drives afternoon hot-spot complaints and peak demand charges. Automated shading addresses both without touching the mechanical plant.

Building Owners

Demand reduction without capital-heavy equipment.

Shading is one of the lowest-cost levers for cutting peak cooling load — and it extends the life of the HVAC equipment you already own.
