Get ready for Global Shading Day - March 21st

Global Shading Day on March 21st is an annual event organized by the European Solar-Shading Organisation (ES-SO) to raise awareness about the importance of shading in a changing climate. This year, ES-SO has launched a dedicated website to provide valuable information on the benefits of shading solutions.

What is Global Shading Day?

Global Shading Day is a day dedicated to promoting the use of shading systems to reduce energy consumption, improve indoor comfort, and contribute to sustainability efforts. It aims to educate individuals and organizations about the positive impact of shading in mitigating the effects of climate change.

Why is Shading Important?

Shading plays a crucial role in reducing solar heat gain, minimising glare, and enhancing natural daylight in buildings. By implementing effective shading solutions, buildings can significantly decrease their reliance on artificial cooling systems, leading to energy savings of up to 30%.

Benefits of Shading in a Changing Climate

With the global climate becoming increasingly unpredictable, the need for sustainable building practices is more critical than ever. Shading systems help regulate indoor temperatures, reduce carbon emissions, and create healthier indoor environments for occupants.

How to Participate in Global Shading Day

Whether you are an architect, designer, building owner, or simply a concerned citizen, you can participate in Global Shading Day by exploring the ES-SO website for resources, case studies, and best practices related to shading solutions. Join the movement towards a more sustainable future by incorporating shading into your building projects.

Global Shading Day is an opportunity to learn, collaborate, and take action towards a greener and more energy-efficient built environment. Visit the ES-SO website to discover the transformative power of shading in combating climate change.
