THE sun is an inexhaustible source of energy that provides sustenance to all forms of life on Earth. However, especially in equatorial and tropical climates, the solar radiation takes the form of light that is sometimes pleasant and soothing to the human senses and sometimes overbright, and heat that is always unbearable. All of this is aggravated by the phenomenon of global warming and the cost and environmental impact of generating electricity from fossil fuels, to air-condition buildings.







Buildings absorb heat and transmit it to the interiors. According to Hunter Douglas, the installation of modern sun louvre systems can help to reduce this heat absorption. The company however points out that not all louvre blind systems meet all the fundamental requirements, with traditional louvre blinds, for example, installed inside or outside buildings, offering good protection against dazzling light, but reducing the build-up of heat only slightly.

Hunter Douglas says that since the company’s new generation of large, aerofoil-shaped sun louvre systems, incorporates advanced technology, they facilitate natural climate control, whilst at the same time, providing the architect the space to express his or her creativity.
