Automated: roughly 25% (2023 IIT automated shade study)
Cumulative savings with automated insulating shades
Illustrative only. The model takes your annual energy spend, assumes about 50 percent goes to heating and cooling (the heating and cooling shares of U.S. home energy reported by the U.S. EIA Residential Energy Consumption Survey, with New York a cold-winter, heating-dominant market), and applies a 10 percent lever for manual insulating shades and a 25 percent lever for automated insulating shades. The 10 percent figure reflects U.S. Department of Energy cellular shade guidance; the 25 percent figure is from a 2023 Illinois Institute of Technology study on automated insulating shades. Heating savings require insulating cellular shades, not plain rollers. Automated savings reflect Hunter Douglas PowerView® scheduled operation, which is app-dependent. Rates are held flat, so with Con Edison’s rising prices the real value is likely higher. Actual results vary by home, fabric, exposure, and use. This is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Expert Guidance, Flawless Results
Quality Excellent, Appeal Excellent & Service Excellent
I just received my new motorized shade for my living room window, its perfect! I ordered the shade in the store and was more than adequately advised on how it would work.
The pros and cons of my choice were discussed with me and we worked together to determine what would best meet my needs.
The installer came to measure and then returned to install my shade and trained me on how to use it, getting the maximum benefit from the features I purchased.
