Overheated offices with high energy bills

As climate change becomes an ever-greater problem each year, office building design must be adapted to ensure a comfortable and healthy indoor climate. As temperatures rise and heatwaves become more intense and frequent, it is essential to maintain ‘summer comfort’ in buildings without being entirely dependent on energy-consuming air conditioning.

For Maître André, it was crucial to find a solution that keeps solar heat out whilst allowing sufficient natural daylight in – essential for a productive office environment where precision and quality are paramount.

Permanent external solar shading with guaranteed returns

For their ground floor offices, Maître André chose the DucoSun 100D Underslung solar shading system. This permanent external solar shading system was installed as a cantilevered canopy just above the window sections on the façade.

The system is characterised by :

• Aluminium louvres type 100D at a fixed angle of 45°
• Structural solar shading that remains permanently installed
• Underslung mounting beneath the support profiles
• Solid anchoring to the façade using both wall plates and tie rods

From overheated to optimally comfortable

Thanks to the strategic positioning of the DucoSun 100D system, Maître André benefits from:

• Improved thermal comfort by blocking excessive solar heat
• Optimal natural light that is essential for office activities
• Energy savings through reduced need for air conditioning
• Protection against glare for a comfortable working environment
• Aesthetic added value thanks to the sleek, minimalist design

Sustainable solar shading as a smart investment

By choosing the DucoSun 100D Underslung solar shading system, Maître André demonstrates how external solar shading provides a complete solution for modern commercial buildings. The system combines functionality met aesthetics and ensures that the company is well prepared for the warmer months of the year – without compromising on comfort or energy consumption.
