Horiso Venetian Blinds in double skin ventilated façades

Horiso Venetian Blinds in double skin ventilated façades allow the movement of air between the two surfaces. This provides greater control of the solar energy passing through, depending on environmental conditions.

In winter months, blinds remain mostly open and are operated to maximise passive solar heating, except as needed for glare control. Façade vents remain closed, creating a thermal barrier of warmer air in the void.

In summer, blinds remain partially or fully closed, absorbing and reflecting solar energy to shield the interior from solar gain. Vents at the top and bottom of the void then open, allowing warm air continually to be replaced with cooler air via the stack effect.

Other features and benefits:

• Building energy requirements are lower for heating and cooling.
• Long-term financial savings.
• Provides significantly higher levels of environmental control.
• Controls glare and solar gain effectively.
