The dynamic solar screen is a unique automated feature that is comprised of triangular units. Like origami umbrellas, these dynamic shading elements unfold to various angles in response to the movement of the sun in order to optimize the solar exposure of the facade. The dynamic folding geometry overcomes the limitations of traditional vertical and horizontal louvers when applied to complex buildings. The folding system transforms the shading screen from a seamless veil into a lattice-like pattern that, when necessary, provides either shade or light. This reduces solar glare, while providing better visibility by avoiding dark tinted glass and internal blinds that distort the appearance of the surrounding view. This system offers a better admission of natural diffused light. This reduces the use of artificial light and the associated energy costs. Reduced solar gain on the main skin results in reduced air-cooling loads, energy consumption and plant room size. The concept was inspired by blending the traditional shading screen of the Middle East with natural systems that adapt to the changing environment
