External Solar Shading for Commercial Buildings

Energy Savings

External solar shading reduces the amount of solar heat gain entering the building, leading to lower cooling requirements and decreased energy consumption.

Improved Occupant Comfort

By blocking direct sunlight and reducing glare, external solar shading creates a more comfortable indoor environment for building occupants.

Reduced Cooling Costs

By minimizing solar heat gain, external solar shading reduces the need for air conditioning, resulting in lower cooling costs and energy bills.

Case Study

Koolshade® is uniquely placed to deliver the ultimate in sustainable solar shading.

The working principle of external solar shading is based on the concept of blocking, reflecting, or diffusing solar radiation. By intercepting sunlight before it reaches the building envelope, external shading devices prevent direct solar radiation from entering the building, thereby reducing the amount of heat that is absorbed by the building's interior surfaces.

External shading devices can be designed to be adjustable or fixed, depending on the specific requirements of the building and the desired level of control over solar heat gain and daylighting.

Benefits of External Solar Shading:

Reduces solar heat gain
Improves energy efficiency
Enhances occupant comfort
Reduces glare
Allows for daylighting
Enhances the aesthetic appeal of the building

Overall, external solar shading is an effective strategy for reducing solar heat gain and improving energy efficiency in commercial buildings.

Reducing Solar Gain in Offices and Commercial Buildings

From High Rise buildings and High Street Offices and Banks, to Business Parks, Industrial Premises and Airports Koolshade®, dramatically reduces heat gain and air conditioning costs. It also removes building hot spots to enable a balanced and comfortable environment. This increases productivity amongst building occupants as they are far more content with their surroundings.

With Koolshade®'s ability of efficient airflow ventilation, windows can be left open at all times, drastically reducing the need for air-conditioning resulting in a large decrease in energy costs for the building. Koolshade® reduces glare whilst maintaining high light levels, this allows you to stay focused while enjoying the natural daylight, and this also reduces lighting costs.

Koolshade® is unique in that including all of its other benefits it also allows uninterrupted outward, vision unlike any other product; therefore not cutting occupants off from the outside world.

Koolshade® also maximises space and rentals by eliminating hot spots and no-go zones where it is just too uncomfortable to work.
