This Kawneer Versoliel Series Sunshade is a high-tech Revit family designed for facade integration, featuring a linear louvre system. The Kawneer Versoliel Series Sunshade is a precision-engineered exterior solar shading system designed for curtain wall or window integration. The assembly consists of a series of horizontal aluminium louvres supported by structural outrigger brackets that mount directly to the building facade. The design emphasizes clean, linear aesthetics, providing effective passive solar control while maintaining exterior visibility. Its modular nature allows for consistent spacing across building elevations, with durable metal construction suitable for high-performance commercial envelopes. The model accurately captures the profile of the louvres and the structural connection points required for technical facade documentation.
The download is a 3.1 MB 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 family is intended for placement on building envelopes as a hosted component. Users should load the RFA into their project environment and align it with the curtain wall or structural grid. The system supports adjustment of spacing and depth to match specific solar orientation requirements. Material parameters can be assigned to the aluminium surfaces for rendering, while the geometry is optimized for accurate elevation and section views within construction documentation sets, ensuring clear representation of the facade shading strategy.

Ideal for commercial office buildings, educational facilities, and healthcare projects, this sunshade serves as a critical component in thermal performance strategies. Architects and facade consultants specify these systems to mitigate solar heat gain on south and west-facing elevations. Professional users will search for this asset when detailing high-performance building skins, brise-soleil applications, or when coordinating exterior shading solutions with curtain wall systems. It pairs effectively with modern glass-and-metal facade designs, providing a functional solution for sustainable building envelopes.
