Shaded is a clean-tech start-up focused on helping communities adapt to a warming climate using passive solutions.
We apply design thinking to bring innovation to simple cooling technologies, some of which have been lost to time. Basic interventions like external awnings can reduce internal room temperatures by 10•C. Even Buckingham Palace was once adorned with them!
With heatwaves impacting health, sleep, learning, and productivity, retrofitting homes and buildings against overheating risks soon won't be optional. At Shaded, we're bringing passive cooling tech up to speed with today's world - where many of us rent flats in cities and can't make permanent modifications to the buildings we live in.
Our first product is a retrofittable, detachable awning for sash windows (aka vertically sliding windows) with circular design principles embedded at its core. By rethinking traditional external awning designs, we're expanding access to practical, sustainable adaptation tools to improve climate resilience.

If you are a representative from a local authority or housing association, a business with a sash windowed premises, or just an interested individual who wants to learn more about our product, please get in touch! We are actively looking for users to trial the product over summer 2025.
