About this asset

Modern red metal louvred sun shade system for Revit, featuring a fixed modular design for external building facade solar control. This sun shade system consists of a series of uniform, red-finished metal blades mounted within a grey metal frame. The design features a linear, repetitive arrangement of angled louvres, specifically engineered to provide effective solar shading while allowing airflow. The assembly is composed of two primary horizontal support rails that secure the individual blades in a fixed, parallel orientation. The geometry is clean and functional, with consistent spacing between each blade to ensure uniform shading performance across the entire unit. The materials appear to be powder-coated aluminium, suitable for exterior building applications.

The download is a 338 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.

In Revit, this sun shade family is typically placed as a hosted component on building facades or curtain wall systems. Designers can align the assembly with structural mullions or wall edges to manage solar gain. The family allows for adjustment of the overall length and width to suit specific project aperture dimensions. Users should ensure the material parameters are mapped to project-specific finishes for accurate rendering and material take-offs during the design development phase.

Ideal for residential, office, and industrial projects, this louvre system is essential for architects focusing on sustainable design and thermal performance. It is frequently employed as a brise-soleil to reduce cooling loads on south-facing glazed elevations. Professionals searching for external solar shading, building envelope components, or facade louvres will find this asset versatile for both conceptual massing and detailed technical documentation. It pairs well with modern curtain walling or metal cladding systems to achieve a cohesive aesthetic for high-performance building envelopes.
