Draper shade automation system wins architectural media awards

January 1, 2021

Shade automation helps improve productivity by reducing glare and solar heat gain, while still allowing natural daylight and views to the outside.

When we introduced our IntelliFlex® I/O scalable, automated shade control system, we knew we were onto something good. IntelliFlex I/O is highly customizable and can grow and adapt as needs change without replacing existing hardware and wiring, providing a scalable automation solution ideal for projects no matter how big or complex.

Our initial excitement at the power of I/O has been confirmed by recognition from two leading architectural publications. IntelliFlex I/O has been named a Record Products winner by Architectural Record, and has also received a Product Innovation Award from Architectural Products Magazine.

Both publications recognized the system’s scalability and flexibility. In particular, judges were impressed by the many ways IntelliFlex I/O can be used to automate shading systems:

IntelliFlex I/O can be proactive, reactive, or a combination of both. It automates shading systems through a variety of methods, and by using sensors can respond quickly to changing conditions. I/O can also integrate with lighting or other systems. This combination of proactive and reactive capabilities puts a building’s shades where they need to be to best promote thermal and visual comfort and keep occupant productivity from lagging due to glare or heat gain from sitting in unshaded sunlight.
