Hi-Light Horizontal Sun Screen Louvred Shading System

This Revit family provides a high-tech horizontal sun screen system, designed for precise facade shading and solar control. The Hi-Light Horizontal Sun Screen features a linear assembly of parallel metal louvres mounted to a structural support framework. The system is engineered for horizontal installation, providing effective solar shading through its consistent slat spacing and rigid mounting brackets. Its clean, geometric profile is suited for modern architectural applications where thermal performance and aesthetic uniformity are required. The assembly includes mounting plates for secure attachment to building envelopes, ensuring structural integrity while maintaining a lightweight appearance. The design allows for integration into various facade systems, offering a technical solution for controlling daylight and heat gain.

The download is a 655 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

As a native Revit family, this component is best used for facade detailing and solar analysis. Users can load this family into a project to model external brise-soleil or shading elements. The component is designed for placement on vertical surfaces or structural supports, where its geometric parameters can be adjusted to align with building grids. It is ideal for visualising shadow patterns in early design stages and generating accurate construction documentation for exterior building envelopes.
