This section is intended for building professionals and is where we provide you with access to our new online simulation tool SimShade, an overview of which partners can supply you with MicroShade solutions as well as relevant material such as data sheets, tender material, calculation and selection guidelines (see 'Downloads' below).
If you have any questions or you need further information, please contact MicroShade by mail infoSPAMIKKE@microshade.dk or phone +45 72 14 48 48.
With our new online simulation tool SimShade you can perform guiding calculations of solar shading and glazing solutions with ease - and compare them on technical values as well as economic impact.

We work towards making it easier and more accessible to perform building simulations with MicroShade.
Below you will find the simulation programs in which you can simulate MicroShade®. In some programs like BSim and IDA ICE MicroShade® is a standard element and in other programs MicroShade® can be simulated by using BSDF files, .cal and .rad files or angle depended transmittance data from the datasheets.
In case you need BSDF, .cal and .rad files they can be downloaded from the guideline “Daylight Calculations with MicroShade®” in our Downloads section.

DGNB, LEED and BREEAM are the three leading voluntary certification schemes, when it comes to sustainability assessment of buildings.
DGNB is the most recent certification scheme and is called a second-generation system. It was launched in Germany in 2008 and is very comprehensive in its analysis of buildings and considers all aspects of sustainability. Several countries have adapted the DGNB to local conditions and have their own versions, but also the international DGNB version can be used.
LEED is the American sustainable building certification scheme from 1998 and is implemented in more than 135 countries today.
BREEAM is the British sustainability certification scheme for buildings from 1990 and is used in more than 75 countries. Some countries like Germany and Norway have adapted BREEAM to local conditions and have their own versions.
In the figure to the right it is illustrated which criteria in the three schemes that are affected positively by the performance of MicroShade®.
Our Strategic Fulfillment Partners consist of those companies who produce MicroShade solutions.
MicroShade co-operates closely with the worlds leading glass- and building component manufacturer Saint-Gobain. All glass is delivered through the subsidiary, Glassolutions, who has seen the potential in MicroShade from the beginning, and today is using MicroShade as spearhead on a number of prominent projects.
Glasssolutions and MicroShade have delivered glass for a lot of prestigious projects, among others Nordeas Trading Headquarters, Danish House of Industry and Copenhagen Towers.
Pilkington is one of Europes leading manufacturers of glass for the auto- and building industry and has during the past years focused especially on supplying to large window manufacturers such as Velfac, with whom MicroShade also co-operates.
Pilkington is the worlds leading manufacturer of float glass for the auto- and building industry. In Scandinavia, Pilkington is represented in Glostrup and is producing glass for the Nordic marked in the factory in Halmstad, Sweden.
ARNOLD GLAS is one of Germany‘s biggest and most innovative glass producers and a full-line supplier for architectural and decorative glass.
GLAS WAGENER (part of the group), has its core competencies in innovative and energy saving glass solutions. The cooperation with MicroShade has completed the portfolio of smart and intelligent products. Especially complex and outstanding projects like Kopenhagen FUR or Carl Zeiss Museum are results of team-work and excellent cooperation with MicroShade.
Our Strategic Project Partners consist of those companies who install MicroShade solutions.
Glarmestre Snoer og Sønner A/S has 95 years of experience in the glass industry in Denmark. Glarmestre Snoer og Sønner provides special solutions within glass, aluminum and wood.
Special solutions are the firms core competencies, and Glarmestre Snoer og Sønner are acknowledged for providing in-depth and professional consultancy along with creativity and flexibility in projects.
HS Hansen is the leading manufacturer of facades in Denmark and also has representation in all of Scandinavia, Germany, UK and Poland. MicroShade has chosen this co-operation because HS Hansen continuesly pushes the limit for the technical possibilities. A philosophy that together with engineering diligence are very compatible with MicroShade.
The co-operation has for among other projects led to making the facades for the Danish Experimentarium.
Velfac is the leading manufacturer of facade windows in Denmark. They are represented in Scandinavia, UK and Ireland. Velfac is a part of VKR Holding A/S that also owns Velux and Rationel.
Velfac sees a great potential in the passive solar shading that MicroShade can provide for their windows, because external solar shading in general blocks the view and the visual expression of Velfac’s slim profile series.
