AI Shading is a corporation that develops AIOT enabled technologies to reduce environmental footprint from homes and buildings.
It’s a tragedy, and an awful waste of energy saving opportunities, to see window coverings like blinds and shades sitting idle and slacking in buildings. We are the first to introduce “AI Shading” to the market, which offers full autonomous operation, that can save up to 70% Peak energy consumption and up to 28% average. With growing environmental awareness, and smart city movement, we anticipate that AI Shading can become the go to solution and new standard for window coverings market.
