C/S Solarmotion® Controllable Sunshades (Non-Retractable) Solarmotion @ Solyndra

Solarmotion creates a dynamic facade and is the most effective way to reduce energy consumption and maximize occupant comfort.

Here’s how it works C/S Solarmotion Controllable Sunshades track the sun to maximize the control of light and heat entering the building’s interior. By effectively controlling the sun on

To control heat gain, glare and energy usage at the new Solyndra solar panel manufacturing facility in Freemont, California, STUDIOS Architecture specified C/S Solarmotion. To control the sun on the facility’s western elevation, STUDIOS selected 16" wide perforated blades. Each vertical blade was pivoted off-center to achieve a flush appearance when the blades are closed. The blades are operated by motors hidden in the center mullions. All blades, mullions and trim members are powder coat finished to match silver anodize. The Solarmotion system is operated by the facility’s building management system.

Cover Panel

This shading system utilizes blades that are positioned at two different angles. The bottom blades are designed to close fully to reduce heat and glare while the upper portion of the shades directs sunlight to the ceiling of the interior. To maximize the system’s effectiveness, specify a double motor to allow blades to move independently.

Cannon Design utilized highly effective vertical sunshades with perforated metal panels in combination with horizontal sunshades to reduce the sun’s heat and glare, yet provide natural daylight for the building occupants. In the outside public areas Cannon specified cantilevered sunshades with 6" airfoil blades. The building earned a LEEDŽ Silver rating.

Project: Arizona State University Tempe, AZ

Architect: SmithGroup

Architect: Perkins + Will

Sun Control Type: Vertical Sunshades

Sun Control Type: Horizontal Sunshades

Project Description: On their 25-story curtain wall building, the architect employed 2 different shading systems for the eastern and southern elevations. 17" vertically oriented extruded airfoils run the entire height of the structure with each blade spanning a floor with four points of attachment. On the southern elevations, the same 17" airfoils run horizontally to provide shade during mid-day high sun angles.

Project Description: Due to the orientation of the building, Perkins + Will specified two distinctively different sunshades for each elevation. To control the sun at lower angles in the morning and afternoon, fixed horizontal line sunshades with trapezoidal blades are used on the east and southern elevations. On the southern elevation where the sun angle is higher, a cantilevered sunshade with 6" airfoils are used.
