What motorized shading do Dubai hotels use?

Motorized roller shades for daylight control and blackout drapery tracks for guest rooms, plus facade shading for energy. Drives are 230V or 24V DC; control is KNX-native or KNX-gated from DALI/RF where required.

How does shading integrate with KNX/GRMS?

Shades are addressed on the KNX backbone and linked to GRMS scenes (arrival, sleep, away) and to the BMS for facade energy management. One schedule, one commissioning database with lighting.

What energy saving does shading give?

Exterior and guest-room shading cuts solar gain, lowering cooling load — the dominant energy use in Gulf hotels. Scene-linked shading can defer peak cooling by hours and supports green-building credits.

Do you supply shading with lighting and automation?

Yes. Gravity Trading FZ-LLC supplies motorized roller shades and blackout drapery tracks with KNX IP routers, room controllers and architectural lighting as one package from Dubai.
