ECOBUILD.

Further to our first visit as an exhibitor in March 2010 and following some significant commercial enquiries in respect of both heat control and light control we have booked a stand of twice the size for 2011 – stand No. S1655 ‘De Leeuw Shading’. See you there.

ESSO.

This May, ESSO, The European Solar Shading Organization, were invited to make a presentation to REHVA, The Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Association. Entitled ’Automated Solar Shading, a necessary instrument for optimum HVAC design in a holistic approach’ its post presentation discussion was chaired by our very own Mr. Dick de Leeuw.

ESSO have further collaborated with REHVA in the production of the 76 page REHVA Guidebook No 11 ‘Solar Shading, how to integrate solar shading in sustainable buildings’.

It spells out the scientific arguments why solar shading, window blinds, call it what you will, makes commercial and environmental sense, all quantifiable to the latest European norms.

Available from REHVA @ Euro 20 we have a number of copies that we are happy to lend out-

3 Windows, 3 Blinds, 1,000 Shading Solutions?

Window 1 has an external roller blind fitted with a screen fabric in black,

Window 2 has an internal roller blind using a ‘metalised’ polyester filter, and

Window 3 has the same filter on a motorised blind between the panes of a sealed unit.

De Leeuw ltd. staff  will be showing how the position, construction and colour (spectral properties) of the shading ‘fabric’ can be as important as the specification of the glazing and how it can be particularly successful  in ‘rescuing’ new build specification ‘oversights’. * (more…)
