How Louvered Roofs Reduce Energy Use
Louvered roof systems work by using horizontal slats—or louvers—that can be fixed or adjustable. Adjustable louvers can control the amount of light and heat entering a space. When open, they allow natural light and air to flow through. When fully closed, they provide shade and block heat from intense sunlight, keeping your space cool and comfortable. During cooler months, louvers can be angled to maximize sunlight exposure, creating a warming effect.
The Skyview louvered roof system can be adapted with a series of different-sized beams or with our 3×3 fixed lattices to allow a consistent amount of shade and light while significantly reducing heat and making your outdoor space more comfortable. It is simple and elegant, with a maintenance-free design that requires no motor or automated adjustments.
The Role of Smart Technology
Our modern louvered roof systems, such as the Solace, integrate smart technology, which boosts energy efficiency even further. Our smart system with optional sensors allows you to adjust the louvers to respond to rain, wind, or sun with our state-of-the-art app or with our proprietary handheld remote. Our exclusive custom design is engineered to provide high performance and resiliency in a multitude of climates, from snow and high heat to humidity and wind.
Imagine relaxing and entertaining in your own backyard or welcoming new clients into your space in any weather, with a louvered roof designed with the highest levels of style and engineering. An Outdoor Elements louvered roof will change how you experience your home or commercial space.
Versatility Across Different Spaces
Louvered roofs are not limited to residential use; they’re also popular in commercial spaces. Restaurants, hotels, universities, and lifestyle centers are increasingly using them to create multifunctional outdoor areas that are both stylish and energy-efficient. By providing natural climate control, louvered roof systems enhance the comfort of guests while reducing operational energy costs.
For example, a restaurant can use a louvered roof system to provide shade during lunchtime and adjust the louvers to let in starlight for evening dining. This adaptability creates a dynamic, inviting atmosphere while keeping energy use low.
