External louvres made to order

These days most reputable offices have a human resource management strategy simultaneously serving the needs of employees as well as more corporate interests. Good human resource teams will spend much of their time considering how best to keep staff motivated and proud of their work – preoccupations that many a workforce is thankful for and keen to respond to. However, it is sometimes the case that HR teams fail to recognise how improving just the most basic of conditions can make the working day more pleasant and productive. One such easily addressed but recurring issue in the workplace is the warmth: when it is too hot or too cold employees are less able to carry out their jobs efficiently but with the implementation of brise soleil, glass louvres and external louvres, inefficiency – and with it unhappiness – can be fast reduced.

To give a brief outline of these unusual terms, brise soleil are systems designed to shade buildings from the outside by preventing the direct entry of sunlight. Their practical benefits thus speak for themselves – they keep anyone inside the building from getting hot and bothered. And in addition to this, the shading devices in question add modernist appeal to a place; they were championed by the iconic French architect Le Corbusier who famously wanted to make ‘machines for living’. Glass louvres, meanwhile, boast the similar benefit of better ventilation while also lowering energy costs otherwise wasted on expensive air conditioning and radiators. To any staff charged with the job of reducing their company’s carbon footprint the glass louvre option will be highly attractive as louvres help satisfy the kind of green policies governments are trying to implement worldwide. Finally, external louvres consist of elegant panels that can be fixed to any commercial or public building using steel or aluminium brackets. The visual effect is akin to an up-to-date awning while the physical effect for workers is a comfortable and consistent indoor temperature that even hours of strong sun hardly affect.

Altogether, brise soleil, glass louvres and external louvres promise to be the architectural features of the future; a future characterized by enhanced conditions for workers, greater respect for our environment and more responsible levels of spending on energy. Hopefully, long working days spent sweating over desks, heat-induced headaches and avoidable stress will be consigned to the past.
