Smart Mounting Meets Performance: Tailored Side-Mountable Perforated Shading Airflow Panels for Modern Facades

When urban buildings require retrofittable, performance-enhancing, and visually adaptable shading systems, side-mountable perforated shading airflow panels rise to the challenge. These panels address unique architectural constraints—from structural offsets to HVAC-driven airflow optimization—without the complexity of full-envelope redesign.

Why Side-Mountable Panels are Vital in Façade Retrofits

Modern cities face growing retrofitting demand due to energy mandates and outdated envelope systems. Traditional front-mount systems often require major interventions. In contrast, side-mountable systems integrate via lateral anchoring points, ensuring minimal disruption to cladding systems while providing full shading and ventilation capabilities.

In Hong Kong’s 36-story GreenTower, 1,100 aluminum side-mount panels were installed in 29 days with zero scaffolding. The building’s total facade cooling load dropped by 17.3%. Case Profile

Design for Variable Geometry and Density

Unlike standard systems, these panels adapt to varied wall depths and slope angles. Using Rhino Grasshopper and Revit BIM integration, the panel brackets are individually modeled for each fixing point. Additionally, laser-perforation density is adjusted per elevation for sunlight modulation. Perforations typically range from 5mm to 30mm, with porosity ratios optimized by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

Our factory integrates QR-based tagging, allowing installers to identify exact mounting sequence on-site. This shaved off 21% in logistics coordination time at a Singapore hospital project. Explore More

Materials, Testing, and Regulatory Compliance

• 6063-T5 aluminum and AISI 304L stainless steel options

• Powder-coated or PVDF finishes tested under ASTM B117

• Wind load testing: EN 1991 and ISO 6946

• Thermal resistance: Validated with ASHRAE 90.1

• Academic support: ScienceDirect microclimate reports

Client Success: Jakarta Tech University Hall

The hall suffered from solar glare and excessive cooling costs. A retrofit was proposed using dual-layer side-mount panels. The outer layer provided sunshading, while the inner layer allowed airflow via offset spacing. Results:

• Glare reduction: 61%

• Zone-specific cooling cost savings: 18.7%

• Acoustic dampening (5.2 dB improvement)

One key achievement: A curved east elevation was successfully fitted with unique angled brackets without reengineering the base wall. Full Breakdown
