Sunbreaker Louvred Facade System

This Revit family provides a high-tech sunbreaker louvred facade system featuring fixed horizontal blades for effective solar control. The Sunbreaker Louvred Facade System consists of a robust rectangular frame housing a series of evenly spaced, fixed horizontal louvres. Its clean, linear geometry is designed to mitigate direct sunlight while maintaining airflow and exterior visibility. The assembly presents a neutral grey finish, typical of architectural-grade metalwork, and is engineered for installation across building apertures or as a continuous screening element. The proportions are balanced to provide a consistent visual rhythm, making it a functional yet unobtrusive addition to modern building envelopes where passive cooling and light management are primary design drivers.

The download is a 225 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 intended for wall-hosted placement within a building model. Users should load the file into their project environment, where it can be adjusted to align with facade openings or curtain wall systems. Material parameters allow for the application of standard metal or powder-coated finishes, while the geometry remains lightweight to ensure model performance. It is recommended to use this in conjunction with reference planes for precise alignment across complex building elevations.
