Light up your life.
Some like it hot …
Take tropical plants,for example.
That’s why they thrive in hotand hum
idgreenhouses.People,on the other hand,prefer a less extrem
e climate atw
ork –unless,of course,they are used to the tropics.
Why do offices turn into greenhouses
when the sun shines?
The radiantenergy which penetrates
window
glass is converted to long wave
(heat) radiation when itcom
es into con-tactw
ith objects.This so called “remote
infrared”energy is then no longer able topenetrate glass,i.e.to escape.The energyrem
ains in the room,increasing the
ambienttem
perature.
... others prefer Siteco.W
hen sunlightstrikes high quality reflec-tors m
ade from the purestalum
inium,
only a small portion of the shortw
averadiation is converted to long w
ave radia-tion.The lion’s share of radiantenergycan exitthe room
.
Conventional insulated glass has an overall transm
ission value (g) of 72 %.
Our prism
and louver systems coated
with purestalum
inium have a transm
is-sion value of less than 20 %
.
In addition,prisms and louvers directthe
sun’s rays into a room via the ceiling,pro-
viding optimal lighting and m
aintaininga pleasantindoor clim
ate withoutim
-pairing the view
outside.
Orchestrated light ...
... is our term for design-
ing light with the goal of
optimising functionality,
aesthetics and emotional
well-being. An im
portantinstrum
ent in this con-cept is the m
anagement
of both natural and arti-ficial light sources. SitecoDaylight System

We applied this law
of total reflectionoptics in the developm

prism system
s.
These systems consistof translucent
acrylic glass panels with an extrem
elyprecise prism
structure.The movable
panels are adjusted to ensure thatlightalw
ays strikes the back wall of the prism
ata 45 °angle,i.e.the critical angle fortotal reflection atthe transition pointbetw

Good for you and your wallet
Our prism
panels reduce the high concen-tration of lum
inance in the vicinity ofw
indows,creating an ergonom
ic illumi-
nation of the workplace,as w

osphere – for offi-ces,conference room

What’s your point of
view?
Our m
ovable large panelprism
s change positionaccording to the positionof the sun, reflectingonly those rays w
hichstrike the prism
panel ata 90 °angle. Light raysw

The prism panels are
fabricated from highly

glass. They are not mir-
rored, and are resistantto ultraviolet rays andinclem

A few details ...
Siteco prism panels are
injection molded from
8N acrylic glass (m
ade byRöhm
GmbH). Alternate
flanks are coated with
an extremely thin layer
of purest aluminium
(AL 99.99). As is the case w
ith metal coated
double glazing, colourvariations m
ay arise.

STATIC PRISM SYSTEM
S
Only the best light is good enough
Our m
icro sun shielding louvers are inte-grated betw
een double glazing panes,justlike our static sun shielding prism
s.The only difference is the w
ay they work:
with our sun protection louvers,the sun’s
rays strike vertical and horizontal lamel-
lae,which are coated w
ith vaporised topgrade alum
inium.
The louver is closed to reflectdirectsun-lightw
hen facing south.Diffuse lightpasses through the north facing louver,supplying the room
with pleasant,ergo-
nomic light.
Like the aforementioned stationary sun
protection prism system
s,our micro sun
shielding louvers were developed espe-
cially for installation in slightly slopedglass roofing.
Exemplary: Presentation hall,
DaimlerChrysler AG, Sindelfingen.*
Notonly inner beauty is im
portant,evenfor cars.They should be presented in theirbestlight,both indoors and out.
This is why Daim
lerChrysler AG empha-
sised the synthesis of artificial and natu-ral lightw
hen planning the constructionof their special design building.The pre-sentation hall w
as to be outfitted with
a glass roof to provide plenty of naturallight.The challenge w
as to distribute thedaylightevenly,and to m
inimize glare
and heavy shadows.After analysing sim
u-lations,lighting consultantRoland Greulechose Siteco's m
icro sun shielding lou-vers.The advantages they offer are highlighttransm
ission,precise colour rende-ring,and a pleasantindoor atm
osphere.
In addition,movable sails w

Keep cool.
Glass roofing is attrac-tive. Less attractive, onthe other hand, arethose w

A few details ...
Siteco micro sun shield-
ing louvers are injectionm
olded from ASA (BASF
AG). They are coatedw
ith an extremely thin
layer of purest alumini-
um (AL 99.99). As is the
case with m
etal coatedinsulated glass, colourvariations m
ay arise.

CombiSol is an enhancem
entof our triedand true m
icro sun shielding louvers.Itisthe firstlouver system
to combine high-
quality sun protection with reliable glare
protection.
CombiSol reduces the solar heatgain to
a minim
um and creates an excellentin-
door climate.In addition,Com
biSol com-
pletely eliminates glare from
directsun-light,m
aking itideal for demanding
lighting tasks,e.g.in offices with com
-puter w
orkstations,museum
s and ex-hibition room
s.
Nothing but blue skies.
We developed Com
biSol especially forglass roofs and sloped glazing installed in buildings w
ith demanding air and
illumination requirem
ents.
Like all other stationary daylightsystems
from Siteco,Com
biSol is mounted inside
a double glazing pane.
CombiSol is therefore:
•easy to install,
•protected from
moisture and im
puri-ties,
•com
pletely maintenance free.
Although CombiSol com
pletely filters outdirectsunlight,the louvers still perm
itanoutdoor view
.People in the room can see
the blue sky and passing clouds,and canenjoy the changes in w
eather and lightconditions in a com
fortable environment.
With Com
biSol,the sky’s the limit.
Effective honeycombs.
CombiSol’s sun and glare protection lou-
ver system is double layered.In the up-
per layer,the honeycomb shape form
s anentry and an exclusion area.The louversare open facing north,and closed facingsouth.Directsunlightis com
pletelyreflected off the m
irrored surface,which
is coated with pure alum

The second layer directs the lightto de-fined areas,thereby reducing glare anddistributing diffuse lightevenly through-outthe room
.
An allrounder.Com
biSol offers the following advan-
tages:•
sun and glare protection in a singlesystem
,•
excellentprotection from the sun – all
day long and all year long (g* < 15 %),
•good lighttransm

Fundamentals.
Stationary DaylightSystems are alw
aysm
ounted in between double glazing lay-
ers to protectthem from
the elements.
These glass layers are fabricated justlikeconventional double glazing panes.
For the construction of glass roofs andthe installation of these elem
ents,thelatestversions of the glazing guidelinesissued by St.Gobain Germ
any and speci-fic technical guidelines on glazing pub-lished by the Deutsches InstitutfürBautechnik (DIBT) have to be follow
ed.
The insulated glass panes mustbear all
interior and exterior loads and fulfill allconstruction requirem
ents.
To guarantee the load-bearing capabilityof the glazing elem
ents,external staticloads m
ustbe calculated according toDIN
1055 standards.If local building authorities publish their ow
n standards,then these should be used.
To preventthermal cullets,heataccum
u-lation and tem
perature variance within
the multi layered pane m
ustbe avoided.
Inclined glazing.Stationary DaylightSystem
s are generallyinstalled in roofs.Since inclined glazing issubjectto greater therm
al stress,theexterior pane is fabricated from
heat-tem
pered glass,and the interior pane ism
ade of laminated safety glass.
A pitch of less than 10 degrees is notrecom
mended,since w
ater runoff must
be ensured.This applies to both the glasselem
entand the frame construction.
When installing such a system
,specialattention should be paid to am
bientinfluences,e.g.excessive am
ounts ofim
purities,falling leaves,etc.Constantexposure to m
oisture can cause material
fatigue in the pane’s surface.
Mounting area.
The mounting area of the panes should
notexceed DIN 18545 guidelines,to pre-
ventvariations in temperature betw
eenthe perim
eter and the restof the pane.
In roof glazing,glass retaining stripsshould alw
ays be mounted on the exteri-
or,since interior mounted strips form
thedrip edge in a sloped elem
ent,making
sealing nearly impossible.
The drip edge and the sealing layer must
be separated from one another,and the
drip edge should be below the sealing
layer.The exterior glass retaining stripsm
usthold the glass securely to withstand
suction effects.
Perimeter seal.
Standard sealants for multi layered
double glazing mustnotbe exposed to
directsunlight,because ultravioletradia-tion w
ill damage them
.The perimeter
sealing can be protected by cover plates,strips,silicone tape or a UV-shielding film
.
We recom
mend the use of specially fabri-
cated silicone perimeter sealants,w
hichprovide sufficientprotection even w
henexposed to directirradiation.They are,how
ever,gas-permeable and therefore
unsuited for use in gas filled glazing elem
ents.
Beading space.M
etal contacts in the beading space (e.g.studs,angle brackets,etc.),as w
ell as contactbetw
een the insulated glasspanes and the fram
e construction must
be prevented by spacing blocks.The blocksm

Planning.Top quality lighting solutions cannotbepurchased “off the rack”.Every buildingand every room
has differentoptical properties and differentlighting require-m
ents – particularly in terms of natural
light.This is why w
e develop an individu-al,custom
ised Siteco daylightsolutionfor each site.For planning purposes,w
e use resultsfrom
theoretical calculations,as well as
actual measurem
ents.When calculating
complex requirem
ents – e.g.when the
interior decoration elements and surface
texture have to be taken into considera-tion – w
e utilise lighting simulations in
addition to computer aided design.
Consultants use models to dem
onstrateand visualise the interplay of all interiorand lighting com
ponents.“Artificial skies”actas a lightsource for this process,sim
ulating changes in the amountof
