External Louvres Fitted on a Shropshire Office
Project Overview
A modern office in Shropshire faced significant challenges with excessive heat-gain and screen glare, disrupting the productivity and comfort of its employees. To address these issues, the management explored various shading solutions and decided to install tiltable louvres.
Objective
The primary objective was to reduce indoor temperatures and minimize glare on computer screens, ensuring a comfortable and productive work environment.
Challenges
Excessive Heat-Gain: The office had large windows that allowed significant sunlight penetration, leading to increased indoor temperatures, especially during summer months.
Screen Glare: Direct sunlight created substantial glare on computer screens, making it difficult for employees to work efficiently.
Solution: Tiltable Louvres
After evaluating multiple options, the decision was made to install external tiltable louvres. This solution was chosen for its superior effectiveness in managing both heat and glare compared to traditional internal blinds.
Implementation
The tiltable louvres were custom-fitted to the office's windows. These louvres could be adjusted to various angles, allowing precise control over the amount of sunlight entering the building.
Benefits
Effective Heat Reduction: The external louvres blocked a significant portion of direct sunlight, thereby reducing the heat entering the office. This helped maintain a cooler indoor temperature and reduced the reliance on air conditioning, leading to energy savings.
Optimal Glare Control: By tilting the louvres to appropriate angles, the amount of light causing screen glare was significantly minimized, enhancing visual comfort for the employees.
Enhanced Aesthetics: The sleek design of the louvres added a modern touch to the building's exterior, improving its overall aesthetic appeal.
Results
Improved Comfort: Employees reported a noticeable improvement in indoor comfort, with lower temperatures and reduced glare on their screens.
Increased Productivity: The reduction in glare and heat contributed to a more conducive working environment, leading to higher productivity levels.
Energy Efficiency: The need for air conditioning decreased, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced operational costs.
Conclusion
The installation of external tiltable louvres at the Shropshire office proved to be a highly effective solution for combating excessive heat-gain and screen glare. This project highlights the importance of selecting the right shading solutions to enhance indoor comfort and efficiency in office environments.
