THE SOLUTION

The use of window blinds for glare control contributes one credit under BREEAM 2008 in the Health & Wellbeing category. A thermal modelling study proved that Verosol’s high performance 205 SilverScreen metallised screen this fabric with 4% openness returned the optimum shading coefficient. Use of this fabric contributed an extra BREEAM credit related to thermal comfort in the Health & Wellbeing category.
