FACADE CLOSED
IT CAN BE SEEN HERE THAT ALTHOUGH WHEN THE FACADE IS CLOSED SEGMENTS OF LIGHT WILL STILL ENTER THE BUILDING ALLOW SOME NATURAL LIGHT IN WHILST REDUCING THE HEAT LEVELS WITHIN.
FACADE OPEN
THIS SHOWS A SEGMENT OF THE FACADE WHEN IT IS OPEN - ALLOWING FILTERED LIGHT THROUGH - THE LITTLE FINS WILL STILL REDUCE SOME LIGHT LEVELS.
The above image shows the facade in detail and an exploded view. Double glazing not only helps moderate the temperature by preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer but will prevent the facade from being damaged by natural elements and vandals. Double glazing will also help in noise reduction. Double glazing combined with the shading system will efficiently allow the building to achieve a comfortable temperature without the need for cooling/ heating devices. The chosen material for the shading system is a reflective foil - which will again help keep the temperature down.
