The use of sails shade is also recommended to reduce the interior temperature of those rooms with glass enclosures that are directly affected by the sun in summer.

In some cases, the temperatures reached are so high that the space is rendered unusable. In other cases, air conditioners have to be turned up to full blast to compensate for these high temperatures.

The use of sails shading to minimize the greenhouse effect inside some buildings allows us to improve the thermal comfort of spaces and/or reduce energy expenditure for thermal conditioning.

The sails can be placed horizontally, as some images follow, or vertically as a second skin of the facade.

GALE PACIFIC, with its product for sails shade COMMERCIAL 95, has made a small study in collaboration with the University Rovira i Virgili in a building of the University in Tarragona. The study concludes that with the use of sails shading on top of the façade there is a clear reduction of the indoor temperature, the difference between having sail and not having it would be about approx. 7 ºC average difference. In addition, we greatly reduce the temperature fluctuation. The CASE STUDY is available at http://www.revistatoldodigital.es /2019/n1/page_41.html.
