Schuco USA L.P., American supplier of aluminum and steel windows, facade systems, photovoltaic and solar thermal systems, will be on hand at Greenbuild 2007 in Chicago (Stand 724) on November 7-9, 2007, presenting the very latest product developments from Germany. The company's SunControl sun protection system sets the standard worldwide for design, materials, and mounting technology. Its ProSol photovoltaic (PV) modules are integrated directly into modern building envelopes. AWS, Schuco's new state-of-the-art aluminum window system, combines climatic and architectonic features in a single system.
As a token of its commitment to sustainable design and green building practices, Schuco is sponsoring Greenbuild 2007 and the keynote speech of Paul Hawken, bestselling environmental author and founder of WiserEarth.org. Jochen Wilms, Senior Vice President, Schuco International will hold a brief introductory speech beforehand.
Thanks to SunControl, Schuco now offers a comprehensive array of sun and glare protection solutions. Featuring either rigid or moveable louvre blades, manual or automatic control, and horizontal or vertical layouts, the large blade system assures immense scope for creativity with respect to both function and design. The ProSol system means that PV modules can be integrated directly into the blades and other elements of the facade: Made in Germany in accordance with architects' specifications, these PV modules permit maximum freedom of design when it comes to form, color and external appearance.
Yet another highlight in the world of Schuco solar power generation is the company's superbly insulated FW 60+Hi glass roof system. It can span large spaces and meet even the most geometrically demanding architectural specifications. The integration of translucent PV modules opens up entirely new possibilities for design as well as being extremely energy efficient.
Schuco's new AWS system combines outstanding functional advantages with wide-ranging architectonic and creative possibilities, offering excellent insulation and economy of space as well as elegant design. Featuring a UW value of 1.4 W/m2K, the AWS 75.SI window represents a whole new dimension in energy efficiency and cost savings. All AWS lock systems can be operated manually or automatically, or centrally controlled by the building management system; uniform interfaces exist between the windows, doors and facade elements. Additional advantages include multiple anti-intrusion features, substantial ballistic resistance, and state-of-the-art fire protection.
