This seminar will look at: - The importance of sun control in a world of ever-tightening regulations. - The effectiveness of sun control in enhancing thermal performance & sustainable credentials. - The correct appraisal process in determining the most suitable sun control systems. - Clarifying misunderstandings regarding the suitable applications of sun control technology. - The boundless potential for sun control to enhance a building’s aesthetics. - The future of sun control including fully automated and intuitive solutions.

- The presentation is designed to inform architectural practices about the latest advances in ventilated rainscreen façade technology, and to dispel some commonly held misunderstandings. - It will explain how only a truly open-jointed panel system can naturally ventilate a building and avoid the build-up of damaging micro-climates in the cavity behind the façade. - Attendees will learn how to achieve maximum thermal performance and minimum cold bridges in both new-builds and refurbishments by using an integrated façade system. - They will also discover that this level of performance can be easily achieved without the need to compromise on aesthetics.
