Talius and Focal Launch Energy Calculator at RAIC Conference to Support Energy-Efficient Building Design
Vancouver, BC – April 6, 2026 – Talius, a leading North American manufacturer of roll shutters and architectural shading systems, today announced the launch of a jointly developed energy calculator with Focal at the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Conference.
The new tool is designed to support architects, developers, and building professionals in optimizing energy performance during the design phase. By providing real-time insights into energy usage and thermal performance, the calculator enables more informed decisions early in the building lifecycle—where the greatest impact on efficiency can be achieved.
“This collaboration reflects our commitment to supporting the architectural community with practical tools that drive better building outcomes,” said Frank Christiaens, CEO of Talius. “Energy efficiency is no longer optional—it is a core design requirement, and we want to make it easier for our partners to deliver on that.”
The calculator integrates Talius product performance data with building design variables to model potential energy savings and indoor climate improvements. It is particularly relevant for projects seeking to reduce cooling loads, improve occupant comfort, and meet increasingly stringent energy codes.
The energy calculator will be made available free of charge to qualified dealers and architects through the Talius PartnerZone.
