Over the past ten years, it has become apparent that constructing in a healthy, ecologically conscious way, taking
care to avoid overheating in summer and assuring good air quality, is much more complex than simply installing an air
conditioning system. Indeed, several studies have shown that health problems are more frequent in climatised buildings
than in those with natural ventilation. According to these studies, 90% of the people prefer a naturally ventilated building
rather than one with an air conditioning system.

H e al t hy B uil din g C o nc e p t

RENSON’s Healthy Building Concept offers an alternative. The concept developed

by RENSON provides a healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient indoor climate,
in perfect harmony with the requirements of the Kyoto protocol. It leads to
increased productivity and boosts the output of individuals living and working in
the building. Ref. Candy Wharf, Copperfield Road - London (UK)
As a result, buildings constructed according to the Healthy Building Concept offer
advantages for their owners and occupants and for the environment. RENSON’s
Healthy Building Concept guarantees good air quality by using natural ventilation,
as well as pleasant temperatures in summer by controlling the solar gain using
intensive natural ventilation at night and external solar shading systems.

T he ne e d f o r s un p r o t e c t io n

Large glazed surfaces that allow visual contact with the external environment
and let in daylight can also create uncomfortable situations like glare caused
by too much sunlight and overheating. External solar shading can reduce the
phenomena of glare without limiting visual contact with the outside world.
Moreover, solar shading consequently reduces the impact of direct sunlight on
the glass, which can drastically reduce the need to cool the building, and even
eliminate it altogether.

Int r o duc t io n

With the aim of optimising solar gain management and natural daylight, RENSON
has developed LOGGIA ®, a solar shading system consisting of an outer frame and a
variety of different blade designs. The frames can be mounted as fixed, sliding or
folding elements. In addition to their functional aspect, LOGGIA ® will enliven your
façade or modernise it in the case of refurbishment projects.

The LOGGIA ® system consists of a rigid frame into which the aluminium sunshading
blades are mounted. The different frames have been developed to suit the dimensions
AS desired and the strength of local winds. Several blade options are available for each
P
type of frame, giving different results in terms of visual density or the degree of
sunshading. The visual density is calculated as OV (= O/P), perpendicular visual
opening; the degree of shading by AS, limit angle of incoming sunbeam.

LOGGIA ® 040 is a frame with minimal thickness which is available in heights of up

to 2500 mm, taking account of local wind loads acting on the system. The LG.040
frames can be fitted with different types of blade : L.050.21 and L.066.21. Both
blades have a fixed angle and pitch.

The LOGGIA ® 065 frame has been designed for use in heights of more than 3000 mm, taking account of local wind loads
acting on the system and depending on the type of blade fitted into the frame. The LG.065 frame can be fitted with
different types of blade: L.066.P and L.066.01. Both blades have a fixed angle and pitch.

LO G GI A ® LG .13 0

The LOGGIA ® 130 frame has extra rigidity, designed in response to the request for
sun-shading panels up to 6000 mm high, taking account of local wind loads acting
on the system and depending on the type of blade fitted into the frame. The LG.130
frame can be fitted with different types of blade : ICA.125, ICA.150, ICP.150 and
SE.130. The blades can be positioned at various angles and with different blade
pitches. The following table shows 20 possible combinations. Others can be produced
on request.

renson, your partner in natural ventilation and solar shading

renson, with its rich tradition in innovation and experience since 1909,
is profiling itself as an undisputed market leader in natural ventilation

and solar shading. since 2003 , our head quarters have been located

next to the e17 kortrijk - gent motorway in waregem ( b e l g i u m ). this

remarkable building is a real and working model of our healthy building

concept and is a prototype exhibiting our technological strengths.

a healthy internal climate is renson’s priority and this is far more than

just a trend. we develop and commercialise products that contribute to

lower energy consumption. in this way, renson provides an important RENSON headquarters (BE)

link towards the regulation applications from the kyoto climate treaty.
