Let’s Transform Your Property, One Roller Shade and Window at a Time
The finest homes share a secret: they come to life with natural light. As seasons shift from crisp autumn mornings to cold wintry nights and, later, to bright summer afternoons, the interplay of sunlight (or lack thereof) through windows defines the character of beautiful historic homes in our area.
Now, a feature recently unveiled by Lutron, Natural Light Optimization (NLO), is revolutionizing how homes harness daylight. Windows become part of your smart home system, anticipating and adapting to the sun’s journey based on your property’s longitude, latitude, and window orientation!
We dive into NLO’s benefits and features below, so keep reading to learn more.
Go Beyond Traditional Automation
What makes NLO revolutionary isn't its ability to automate shading operations. No, instead, it’s the intelligence behind those movements. By knowing your home's exact location and window orientation, NLO creates a customized choreography of shade adjustments that follow the sun's natural journey across the sky.
Think about your typical day. As morning light creeps across the horizon, bedroom roller shades gradually rise to welcome the dawn. During peak afternoon hours, when the sun usually creates harsh glare on the kitchen countertops or your home office desk, NLO has already anticipated and adjusted accordingly to maintain perfect light levels without any needed input from you. Live your life, and your shades will do the work for you!
NLO Is the Solution for New England’s Weather Challenge
We can experience dramatic seasonal changes in sunlight and temperature. During our humid summers, the sun beats down relentlessly, so NLO can actively manage heat gain, helping maintain comfortable temperatures while reducing energy costs. In the brisk winter months, when natural warmth becomes precious, your motorized roller shades will rise to maximize beneficial sunlight (and its heat) during those shorter days.
Protecting Your Interiors with Automated Shading
Sunlight can be a friend and foe for homes with fine art, designer furnishings, or elegant hardwood floors. NLO acts as a vigilant guardian, protecting your investments from UV damage while allowing you to enjoy natural light.
Operations are informed by your exact geo-coordinates instead of an automated schedule, so your prized art collection, rugs, and custom upholstery remain vibrant and protected. You’ll be able to maintain their beauty and value for years to come without giving it a second thought.
