Somfy, a global manufacturer of motors for interior window coverings and exterior solar protections, and Draper, a window shades fabricator, launched a pilot program for sustainable housing in Clovis, California.
The launch event was attended by Congressman Vince Fong, who has been actively involved in lowering energy costs in the state. Also in attendance were Maryellen Oswald, Somfy partnerships business development manager, one of the homeowners participating in the project, and Roman Khaschuck from IHS Fresno, the installer of the shades, who provided a demonstration of how the automated shades work.
