2 Introduction SOLAR SHADING The importance of solar protection systems are being increasingly realised by architects today more than ever, as demands to optimise internal climates through energy efficiency intensifies. External solar shading is one of the most effective means to control the internal conditions of a building. The correct system or application has the ability to block out or adjust the amount of solar radiation, thus reducing the resultant solar heat gain entering the building, minimising ventilation requirements and reducing cooling loads. Colt Tollfab solar shading provides designers the opportunity for architectural distinction by offering elegant solutions that are aesthetically pleasing, whilst practical in reducing the solar heat gains.
