Embodiment Construction

[0027] exist Figures 1 to 4 The thermally insulating louver system shown in is arranged on the interior surface of an opening in a building, such as a window, and comprises a plurality of louver blades 1 mounted within a frame 3 . The frame 3 may be secured to the interior surfaces of the building by seals 9 in order to make the louver system relatively airtight. In a similar manner, thermally insulating louver systems can be provided on the exterior of buildings. For example, in hot climates it may be preferable to install the insulating louver system on the exterior of the building so that it can function as a sunshade and reduce the cooling load within the building.

[0028] The shutter blades 1 are generally rectangular and are each mounted to be pivotable about a generally horizontal axis positioned adjacent the longitudinal edge, but within the blade. However, it will be apparent that other pivot mounting arrangements are possible. It will also be apparent that the s...

Abstract

A thermal shutter system comprises a plurality of elongate shutters (1). The shutters are mounted for rotation about the elongate direction thereof and are mounted for movement in a direction substantially perpendicular to the elongate direction. Each shutter is movable independently of the other shutter or shutters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a thermally insulating louver system, for example for windows. Background technique [0002] Energy saving is becoming increasingly important in the construction industry. Windows are one of the main areas of heat loss in buildings. Referring to current UK building regulations, windows can lose up to 10 times more energy than other building elements. Therefore, the trend is to reduce the size of the windows. However, reducing window size to save energy conflicts with the need for larger windows for increased natural lighting, solar heat gain, ventilation and architectural reasons. Moreover, older windows may fall significantly below current standards and suffer from even greater heat loss. Although old windows can provide a pleasant environment in terms of appearance and natural light, their poor insulation properties may make reglazing necessary. As an alternative, retrofitted thermal shutters may be considered to improve...
