The Solar Shade Pyramid System (1LU/HSW/SD)
Provider: Decorating with Fabric
Speaker: Neil Gordon
Description: The Solar Shade Pyramid System is a breakthrough way of designing and specifying successful solar shade projects. The system works through the idea of function before form. With the advent of technological advances in solar shadings, they have become more than decorations and should be considered part of a building management system. This session will focus on the various areas of function which include levels of control, light, privacy and glare issues as well as
installations challenges and LEED points. Once function has been defined, we move up the pyramid to decide upon form. This is where wiring and termination is designed, fabrics are selected, and pockets and fascias are planned for. The architect will learn that once these base areas of the pyramid are decided upon then complete system design has been achieved, and specifications are complete and accurate.
