#CatchTheSun and Win.
Just in time for the holidays, we’re giving away beautifully designed duffel bags featuring MechoSystems’ distinctive logo and made with Cradle to Cradle Certified (TM) MechoSystems shadecloth fabric.
Daylighting has always been one of the most important elements that make MechoSystems’ window-shading solutions so successful. By maximizing the use of natural daylight, they increase the energy efficiency of buildings while also providing a comfortable environment for occupants with enjoyable views to the outside.
To highlight the importance of maximizing natural daylight, especially leading up to the winter solstice on December 21, MechoSystems is running a contest on Facebook and Twitter. For a chance to win a duffel bag, answer the question, “How do you plan on taking advantage of daylight leading up to the winter solstice?” If entering the contest via Twitter, entrants must use the hashtag “#catchthesun”. If entering via Facebook, entrants must use the hashtag “#catchthesun” and tag “@MechoSystems”.
