EL SEGUNDO, CALIF.—RENSON, a European developer and manufacturer of sun shading and ventilation system solutions, announces the establishment of its North American sales and distribution network. The company, which was founded in Belgium in 1909 and employs approximately 600 across the globe, is presently growing a North American distributorship for its products, which is initially being established in the Mid-Atlantic, Pacific Northwest, Southeast and Western regions of the United States.

“With installations of our products around the world, we are excited to now be making a localized commitment to sales and distribution in the U.S. market,” said Paul Renson, the company’s CEO. “Our product and systems solutions enhance the comfort of working and living spaces, while also fostering notable energy savings, and integrated systems result in what we like to call ‘healthy buildings.’ In recent years, the value of a healthy building has only increased, particularly as organizations like the USGBC, with its most recent LEED v4, have recognized the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) by incorporating related criterion into their certification standards. Additionally, it is proven that occupants are more productive, happy and healthy in a building that has fresh air and more natural methods of temperature control.”

According to Renson, existing international hospitality industry applications of the company’s sun shading and ventilation products include: the Le Nouveau Monde Hotel (France); Mandarin Oriental (Spain); Titanic Comfort Hotel Berlin (Germany); and Travelodge Manchester (U.K.).  In addition, the company’s products can be found in several international restaurant industry applications, include at the Leroy Pub (Hungary) and McDonald’s (Curacao).

Sun Shades, Ventilation Products Work Together

RENSON’s approach to healthy buildings integrates the company’s comprehensive sun shade and ventilation products, which work in tandem to temper the challenges associated with daylighting and tighter building envelopes. Specifically, RENSON’s external slatted solar shading louver systems (Sunclips, Icarus and Loggia) and external screens (ZipShade, ZipShade and Top Max) deflect the direct rays of the sun to maintain a cooler indoor climate, particularly when affixed to large glazed surfaces like curtain walls or sliding/French doors. The result is a residence or building with maximum daylighting and appealing outdoor views, with minimal impact on occupant comfort and HVAC system load. In addition, exterior patio shading solutions (Camargue and Algarve) extend the usable space of a home or building outdoors, tempering the sun’s effects to maintain comfortable occupancy of patios and other outdoor spaces even in the hottest hours of the day and months of the year. In addition to sun shading, RENSON’s patio structures provide precipitation protection in damp or wet conditions.

To achieve the ultimate healthy building, RENSON’s sun shade products are combined with its line of systems for continuous/controlled basic ventilation to elevate indoor air quality. The discrete, integrated ventilators installed at the top of a window or door frame allow fresh air entry without actually opening the window or door. With virtually limitless design configuration possibilities, RENSON’s ventilation louver systems facilitate quiet, unobtrusive outside air intake and circulation, with a self-regulating flap for control and security.

Extending the benefits of ventilation, RENSON’s night cooling products capitalize on overnight natural airflow to cool down a building and its inside air. The systems, designed to reduce internal heat gains accumulated by a thermal mass (such as a building’s walls, floors and ceilings) during the daytime, facilitate fresh air circulation overnight through supply, transfer and extract lover assemblies. Composed of surface-mounted or glazed-in louvers, RENSON’s night cooling solutions can achieve significant airflow rates while restricting outside moisture penetration and enhancing a building’s security, all with very little required maintenance. They can also significantly reduce load demand and costs associated with energy-intensive air-conditioning, which is typically used to counteract thermal mass heat gains in the summer.
