Special Project Considerations:

Sunshade

The precast column covers included embeds that were designed to carry the sunshade canopies loads that were installed after South Elevation precast erection. These sunshades reduce the amount of direct sunlight and heat that enters into the building which leads to lower energy consumption, enhanced privacy and adds an architectural feature.

Modern multi-story buildings with glass facades, balconies, and a covered entrance stand against a clear blue sky.
