SolarTrac — No manual operation required.

1. Three roof-mounted radiometers monitor sky conditions in real time. 2. SolarTrac utilizes proprietary algorithms, which analyze raw solar-sensor data to determine the sky condition–clear or cloudy. When cloudy, the shades are raised. When clear, the shade position is adjusted according to the sun's angle in the sky.

SolarTrac, the ultimate automatic, computerized WindowManagement® System. • Is state-of-the-art, PC-based, programmable, and   controller-based technologies. • Fosters energy savings in buildings by maximizing the   amount of daylight and views to the outside. • Protects occupants from brightness, glare, and the   uncomfortable effects of solar-heat gain. • Reduces the need for artificial light and air conditioning,   thereby providing a more energy-efficient environment. • Offers effective WindowManagement solutions that work   as a prerequisite to daylighting. • Is backed by MechoSystems, the most   experienced manufacturer of solar-shade automation   solutions. MechoSystems, Inc. has been designing and developing automated solar-shading systems since the 1970s. This was when the company introduced the first version of the SolarTrac WindowManagement System. Automation is playing an increasingly important role in the global environment. SolarTrac and other automated systems, such as MechoLux® and the SunDialer® System, are increasing energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

Successful installations of SolarTrac include: • California’s recently upgraded Gregory Bateson State   Office Building (originally installed in 1979). • The New York Times Building. • The LEED® Platinum-rated U.S. Green Building Council   in Washington, D.C.
