Service / Elconeq
Perfect transition from the greened north-west facade to the fully glazed south-west area. Vertical and automatic tracking louvers also ensure a balance of daylight and heat shield here. The Elconeq control system positions the louvers optimally according to the prevailing weather conditions. In addition to controlled heat and light flows, an indoor climate with a high comfort factor is created for the room users. Clever planning and a dynamic facade design also made it possible to dispense with air conditioning at the municipal office.

Request
The combination of a transparent facade in conjunction with a highly effective external sun protection system should 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
This bundle of requirements could only be realized in connection with a control system tailored to large louvers. An innovative, sun tracking louver curtain made of perforated and coated aluminium sheets was used, arranged as room-high vertical louvers. All louvers move synchronously. Room control buttons additionally increase user acceptance.
