Glazing Contractor: Hanover Glass Company, Pembroke, MA Architects and building owners are increasingly recognizing theneed for “green”building products that conserve energy and
enhance building performance without compromising aesthetics.
Kawneer has responded to this challenge by designing 1600
PowerShade >
® isengineered to meet rigorous structural loads while minimizing
material requirements. >
® , a patented BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic)sunshade that generates solar power while also providing optimal
shade in a total system/single source solution.The result is a classically designed sunshade that both conservesand generates energy to reduce building operating costs. Fully
tested and factory fabricated, this pre-engineered sunshade blends
solar photovoltaic technology with sleek design, easy installation
and simple maintenance. In addition, 1600 PowerShade >
Single Source Responsibility and Dual Position Optimization
PowerShade can be integrated cleanly into Kawneer’s 1600 WallSystem >
® 1, and is based on the innovative and successful curtain wallplatform. It is designed to effectively reduce solar heat gain with the
exclusive dual-position pivot system which provides optimal angle
and extension for shading almost any location. >
