Solar shading can reduce our reliance on air conditioning, helping to prevent buildings from overheating and regulating glare from daylight exposure.
Unlike a traditional Brise Soleil, the adjustable louvre panels on a Dunster House Brise Soleil Pergola allow for adjustable solar shading. Increase the light into your home during those winter months, by opening the slats. Or close them to reduce solar heat gain and glare in the summer months.
The diagram shows how a Brise Soleil, an exterior shading device, controls sunlight entering a building. In summer, when the sun is high. It blocks direct sunlight to keep the interior cool. In winter, with the sun lower. sunlight passes under the Brise Soleil, providing natural warmth. The diagram highlights areas of no sun infiltration, partial sun, and full sun, illustrating how the device optimizes light and temperature throughout the year for better energy efficiency and comfort.
