Facade louvre system
Conserving energy by reducing exposure to direct solar radiation while allowing for natural day lighting is one of a major focus of today’s environmentally aware engineers, architects and specifiers. GL SUNPROF Sun Shades have been designed to meet these needs. The system comprises aluminum blades, which are available in variety of sizes and integrate the Aluprof’s curtain wall systems range, providing an impressive visual effect that helps unite the building envelope.
Limiting the solar heat gain of the building through the use of GL-SUNPROF Sun Shades on the curtain wall ensures the enhancement of the thermal performance of the building combined with energy savings through:
- reduction of direct solar heat whilst remaining natural light rate coming inside the building
- lowered use of energy required to operate electric ventilation and air conditioning systems
- optimization of natural ventilation
