MicroShade Projects

Deutsch Architecture Museum (DAM) 

We are proud to have had the privilege of participating in the extensive renovation of DAM, with a focus on energy optimization and improved indoor climate, in close collaboration with our partners at Glaseksperten A/S.

The elegant foyer of DAM from 1984, had been challenged by excessive heat in the summer and cold in the winter, caused by the glass roof. Our customized MicroShade® roof glass, equipped with additional energy coating, now ensures optimal sun shading and maximum natural daylight. This has allowed the museum to maintain a comfortable temperature all year-round, while significantly reducing energy costs.

We are very happy to be a part of a renovation project with an ambitious sustainability profile.

Drammen Sykehus, Norway

In the newly renovated hospital building in Drammen, Norway, Microshade® can be found in the glass of large parts of the southwest-facing facades. Together with Glaseksperten A/S we have delivered a solar shading solution for the hospital, with our innovative technology that is integrated directly into the glazing.

The hospital was renovated with a focus on people well-being and sustainability. It is built according to the passive house standard with an A energy label, with an aim to use materials and suppliers that provide environmental protection and reduces carbon footprint.

Microshade® was chosen due it its sustainability impact with minimal material usage and reduced maintenance requirements.

We are proud to contribute to next generation sustainable buildings with our energy-efficient solar shading solution.

Storgata 1, Norway

Microshade® is in the façade of Storgata 1 in the center of Sandefjord. All offices, meeting rooms, common areas, and terraces in the building have been designed with a focus on creating an optimal and healthy working environment. 

Well-being in the workplace doesn't only come from the beautiful, scenic offices, it is also an effect of our innovative solar shading solution. Microshade® is built-in solar shading solution, that is designed to allow plenty of natural daylight and a clear view out, securing optimal indoor temperatures. The light and bright solar shading solution increases productivity and has several health benefits as it increases productivity for employees.

Together with our partner Glaseksperten A/S we have produced MicroShade® facade glass consisting of 3-layer thermo with Super Spacer® - in sizes up to 3 meters in height. This facade glass solution was chosen to achieve optimal sun shading while ensuring well-being and indoor climate with as much natural daylight as possible. Also, it minimizes energy consumption for ventilation and cooling due to the efficiency of the shading.

Esbjerg Realskole, Denmark

The beautiful copper canopy at Esbjerg Realskole has been renovated with MicroShade® insulating glass.

The engineering consultant on the project Jørgen Bruunsgaard explains why Microshade® was selected as the solar shading solution:

“MicroShade® was the solution that could address the school's challenges because it blocks direct sunlight while allowing natural daylight to enter. Additionally, MicroShade insulating glass windows are maintenance-free”

We are very happy to learn how the students and school staff returned to school in August, observing the improved the lighting conditions in the assembly hall. At the same time, the school is also pleased that the significant temperature fluctuations in the assembly hall are regulated more naturally now that the glass has been replaced Microshade® glass.

Südkreuz Berlin - Previous Version

By the Südkreuz S-bahn, EDGE wanted to build an eight-floor building made from wood/hybrid material and fill it with unique and visionary solutions for sustainability, indoor climate, and user friendliness.

The architects chose MicroShade for the solar shading in the ‘structural glazing’ areas of the building, where they needed effective solar shading without having to choose between pleasant temperatures, daylight, or a view out. “With MicroShade we could get all these important parameters for indoor climate and well-being of the people in the office space - and get them at the same time,” says Anja Borchard, Senior Development Manager from EDGE, Berlin. “And in addition, MicroShade is a sustainable solution.”
