Demonstration of new solar-shading system based on daylight-directing solar-shading glass louvres

The project installed the newly developed sun screening system on a facade at Coloplast's premises in Humlebæk, north of Copenhagen, and the results were regularly compared with the existing facade construction, which was used as a reference. Measurements over five months have shown that the new system provides a significantly higher exploitation of daylight, especially close to the facade, and there is stronger penetration of daylight, right up to eight metres from the facade. The practical experience also shows that a good balance between screening the sunlight and exploiting the daylight is achieved, thereby ensuring a high-quality indoor climate. (Energy 11)
