Overheating is an increasingly common challenge in well-insulated buildings, often addressed with energy-intensive air conditioning. DUCO offers a more sustainable alternative, combining ventilative cooling with external solar shading to regulate indoor temperature naturally in both residential and non-residential buildings.

Following the Cooling Hierarchy – keep heat out, extract excess heat, then deploy active cooling only as a last resort – solar shading blocks direct sunlight, reducing indoor temperature by up to 12 %. Strategically placed ventilation hatches and skylights then utilise natural airflows to passively cool the building, working synergistically with solar shading to maximise efficiency.

Together, these solutions deliver a comfortable indoor climate during warm periods, without the high energy costs associated with active cooling systems.
