LEVOLUX Provides Shading Solution For New O2 Building
Levolux is providing a bespoke Solar Shading solution to O2, for its
new 110,000 sq ft building in Slough, helping it to achieve a ‘very
good ’ BREEAM rating and an EPC rating of B.
The new building li nks with O2 ’s existing offices to create a
200,000 sq ft campus and features an eye-catching arrangement of
stainless steel mesh screening. Comprising nine 3 metre high
by 1.75 metre wide panels, the stainless steel mesh screening
creates a sharp, modern aesthetic and provides solar shading to the
south facing elevation of the building. The integration of an
extruded aluminium walk-way system provides a secure platform to
facilitate cleaning and maintenance of the structure with less need
for expensive access equipment.
To complete the bespoke solar shading system, Levolux installed a
total of 465 rectangular aluminium Louvres to the building ’s
extensive glazing, arranged vertically and horizontally. In
addition, a total of 374 tubular shading Louvres, with a diameter of
50mm were installed to screen two main stair cores, enhancing the
building ’s design and providing another effective form of shading.
The complete Levolux Solar Shading system, with its light grey
powder coating, not only sets the building apart from its
neighbours, but provides external solar shading using a variety of
materials and designs to effectively shield the building from the
sun ’s rays. This dramatically reduces the effect of solar heat gain
on the building ’s internal environment by as much as 95%, while
allowing plenty of
natural daylight to filter through.
As an essential component of the external fabric of the building,
Solar Shading helps to create a comfortable, naturally lit
environment for the building ’s occupants all year round. This will
improve the health, wellbeing and productivity of O2’s employees.
In addition, by minimising solar heat gain, the building has less
need for energy sapping air conditioning, which provides huge cost
savings and a significantly lower carbon footprint for O2 – one of
the key objectives of the project.
