This louver system is a combination of several different components that are connected to each other.

Parts of Dynamic Components

1 Louver System

Vincent Sontani

Using dynamic component, the louver can be easily adjusted in terms of blade orientation, blade width, blade depth, blade rotation, spacing, extension length and cap extension

In this louver system, user can also decide the size for the cap extension, which gives more shading. User can also adjust the louver extension so that it can fit better to the destined place.

Here is a screenshot of the dynamic component options and attributes. The separate components are being connected through the attributes that we give in order to make the desirable louver

5 Dynamic Components Options & Attributes

It can clearly be seen here that the three different components relate to each other.

Horizontal Dynamic Components


Vincent Sontani

Similar to the horizontal dynamic components, all the component

in the vertical components are related to each other.

Vertical Dynamic Components


Vincent Sontani

In this louver system, people are able to choose to use horizontal or vertical blade. In order to make this possible, the behavior hidden is added to each blade's attributes. If the value of the hidden is 1, then its hidden. But if the value is 0, then its shown.

The horizontal louvers facing south is set in such angle that it will shade most of the sunlight during the hot summer, but will let sunlight in during cold winter season. It is also set so that people inside the room can still have clear view towards the south direction.

The weather condition in Dubai is really different from Seattle. Here, its mostly bright and hot during the year. Therefore, the louver is set to accept less light than it did in Seattle. It will still accept more sunlight in the colder winter and less sunlight in hot summer. The angle is also set so that people can still look out to the south facade clearly.
