Vertical and automatic tracking louvers also determine the appearance of the facade here. The slightly polygonal facade is decorated with room-high, partially transparent louvers with dark coating. Linear drives in stainless steel design guarantee perfect shading, precise louver tracking and synchronous positioning.

Request
The combination of a transparent facade in conjunction with a highly effective exposed sun protection system is intended to make it possible to dispense with air conditioning. In addition to saving costs for air conditioning, this should lead to a more comfortable and healthier indoor climate. An optimal balance of daylight and heat shield should be sought at all times. The facade should be given a modern face with an unmistakable appearance.
System
These requirements are met by Elconeq's specialised control and regulation system. The innovative tracking system is characterized by perfect louver flatness when closed and precise positioning according to the position of the sun. And all this on the basis of pure time control, without complex control lines or feedback. A robust system that has been doing its job uncomplainingly for many years in countless projects worldwide.
