Airolite’s architectural sun control products are an ideal solution for reducing total energy loads and additional investments in mechanical equipment. Shading and day lighting are applied in building applications to:
Augment interior light levels to reduce or eliminate perimeter lighting
Benefit from a virtually maintenance free passive shading system
Decrease energy usage and costs
Enhance occupant comfort, satisfaction, productivity and learning
Integrate solar input during heating seasons
Lower heat transfer during cooling seasons
Reduce unwanted solar gain
Regulate glare and contrast without diminishing views
Airfoil or rectangular blades are designed to filter up to 80% of the sun’s heat and glare, cut wintertime radiant heat loss and integrate natural light into atriums. Optional extruded aluminum fascia/blade components may be integrated into the design to maintain visual continuity or provide a dramatic contrast to adjacent elements.
