SolaVeil
Case Studies

SolaVeil was the winning technology in a UK Government sponsored competition to reduce carbon emissions in commercial buildings and the Government Estate.

​

​

Built in 1973 Oxford County Hall refurbishment was treated with a tailored SolaVeil full facade treatment - reducing solar heat gain bringing cool glare free natural to the office interior and significantly reducing building running costs.

A new build utilising natural ventilation and passive cooling, SolaVeil was specified to reduce solar heat gain, bring cool natural daylight to the interior and retain lighting energy in low light conditions.

​

The introduction of SolaVeil to the school enabled teaching and learning to take place in cool natural daylight. Tired and broken window blinds could be dispensed with and fluorescent tube lighting turned off.  This resulted in a greatly improved teaching and learning environment with happier teachers and pupils. 

SolaVeil treatment to the glazed facade of the store solved a number of issues: reducing solar heat gain, glare experienced by shoppers and staff at the store checkouts and making the interior brighter at night.

The addition of a glazed showroom to the offices of KIA UK required a reduction in solar heat gain and glare for staff and clients, at the same time delivering diffused natural daylight to the showroom interior.
