 Motorised shading fins that project and tilt to control solar heat gain, light, and glare have been produced by Levolux for Edinburgh's Telford College.
The new college consolidates four campuses in one custom-built building. For the eastern and western elevations of the building, the company created a series of 950mm deep by 7.4m wide fins. Produced in perforated sheet aluminium, they are framed in extruded aluminium and fixed above the clerestory windows of the classrooms. Linked in sets of four, they are controlled by a motor which automatically manages their position. Pivoting on a series of wall mounted fixings, they follow the sun using an intelligent software programme.
