Outrigger

Sunshades

Outrigger style sunshades are designed to reduce the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) by shading vision glass areas of the building envelope. Effectively reducing cooling costs while still allowing for natural sunlight to fill the interior of the building. Pre-engineered sizes and configurations allow for design flexibility while maintaining low cost design freedom, speedy delivery, and simple assembly with fast installation.

Sunshades are more than an attractive feature on a building. They can effectively reduce unwanted solar heat gain while still allowing for beneficial natural light. However, not all solar heat gain is undesirable; solar heat gain on cold winter days can be beneficial. The length and effectiveness of the shadow produced by sunshades will vary with geographical location (latitiude), time of year (sun angle), depth of outrigger (projection from building), louver blade shape, and location of sunshade in relation to glazing.

Proper consideration of these features can lead to significant increase in energy savings and occupant comfort.
