TEK solar shading

Share

Heat gain through an unshaded window can be as much as 700 watts/m. As the temperature rises, so do the costs of air conditioning and cooling systems. By using TEK solar shading (brise soleil), heat gain can be reduced to as little as 119 watts/m.

Part O  of the building regulations are designed to prevent overheating. Passive cooling is both energy efficient and better for the environment. Brise soleil provides shade, keeps buildings cooler, therefore, negating the need for air conditioning and other mechanical cooling systems.

Aesthetically, architects can go to town with designs, colours and shapes. Common throughout Europe and the Middle East, solar shading is a great way to keep a building cool whilst also giving it a creative edge.
