Experience a Greener and More Convenient and Comfortable Home
Did you know the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recommends motorized blinds? They back this technology because of the enhanced energy efficiency it provides.
According to the DOE, correctly installed cellular shades can reduce heat loss by 40% in the winter and keep 60% of solar heat out during the summer. The problem? About 75% of home window coverings remain in the same position every day.
This stagnant tendency makes perfect sense. Who has time to wander from room to room, adjusting blinds throughout the day? For this reason, the DOE recommends smart shades that people can raise or lower at the touch of a button.
That’s the practical use of motorized blinds.
At Northbay Technology Company, we’re all about the practical capabilities of smart shades that reduce utility costs and create greener homes. But we also like to share the magic inherent in these window coverings, the customized programming and automation that optimizes comfort and convenience while managing daylight and privacy in a way that aligns with your daily routines.
Because we partner with Lutron, the global leader in lighting and shade control, we can share this remarkable experience with our clients.
Let’s explore the possibilities for your Bay Area home.

Tailored Daylight and Privacy
Lutron creates shades that manage daylight and privacy for you, based on your preferences. For some people, that translates to shades that open as the sun peaks over the horizon. When you walk into the kitchen for your morning latte, every shade raises in perfect synchronicity across a row of windows. When it’s time for dinner, the shades lower for privacy.
Aligning with Preferences and Routines
Our automation experts can also program these shades based on the activity. Press a button on a custom-engraved keypad when entertaining or hosting a dinner party. In response, the shades facing your stunning outdoor landscape lights open, framing their beauty in your windows.
Simultaneously, the window coverings facing the street close for privacy. No matter the activity, from dining to movie night or relaxing, the ideal setting is one touch away. Then, when it’s time for bed, press ‘Good Night,’ and every shade lowers.
Optimized for Comfort and Convenience
Lutron shades also use sensors to tell them when to raise or lower based on the temperature and the sun’s position. In the heat of the day, they lower on South-facing windows, reducing solar heat gain. During cold spells, these same shades open to let in the warmth of the sun.
Throughout the day, they automatically adjust, allowing the beauty of diffuse sunlight to enter your home while protecting it from the harmful UV rays that can damage floors, furniture, and treasured artwork. These shades also integrate with your other smart systems, creating an intelligent home where all aspects work together.
