CONCRETE SOLAR SHADING ON STEEL ROPE
Façade and exterior cladding
Approved for
A@W Paris 2022
Major architectural elements, solar shading in ultra-high performance concrete (UPHC)can be placed in front of exposed glazed facades of buildings in order to limit heat gain by direct solar radiation. These shadings, while ensuring thermal and visual comfort inside the building, will avoid the use of active cooling systems emitting CO₂ Befup is an essential material for improving the energy performance of buildings related to this optimization.
