Sustainable solar shading in the Olympic Village
The French architecture firm KOZ has commissioned Griesser to provide shade for part of the Olympic Village. The internationally active company from Aadorf is using two of its louvre blind models and one roller shutter model.
The French architecture firm KOZ is one of the main architects commissioned to build the Olympic Village in Paris. For the shading in the Belvédères neighbourhood of the village, KOZ relied on the Thurgau-based company Griesser. The internationally active developer of solar shading products for buildings has equipped various buildings in Belvédères with three different solar shading solutions.
On the one hand, 265 slat blinds of the Lamisol 70 model were used, explained Griesser in a press release. A total of seven units of the Grinotex III slat blind model were installed. The sun protection was completed by 108 Tradi PUR roller shutters. Together, the sun shading solutions create a pleasant indoor climate and help to save heating and cooling energy.
“Griesser has prevailed with its quality products,” the architectural firm KOZ is quoted as saying in the press release. “In addition, the solar shading products have already proven their worth in other projects.” For the Olympic Village, KOZ decided in favour of a metallic pink shade of slat blinds and roller shutters specially developed by Griesser for the project.
