Controlling light and solar heat gain entering the building through two glazed rooflights to the barrel vaulted roof, Skyvane from Levolux has been specified for a Grade two listed aircraft hanger in Liverpool.
Developed by Levolux, Skyvane is a fully adjustable louvre system that can be installed internally or externally.
Produced in aluminium, using perforated aluminium for the louvre profiles, it uses light sensors also developed by the company.
Linked to a software control system, the sensors monitor light levels and control louvre position accordingly. Externally a series of 500mm aerofoil fins were mounted in five rows using a steel cable system to control light and solar heat.
