How Metal Sunshade Solutions Transformed a Hard‑to‑Access Facade in a High‑Rise Tower

This case study explores the retrofit of a challenging west-facing facade on a 30-story commercial tower in downtown Los Angeles. Floors 15–22 suffered from excessive solar exposure, inaccessibility for maintenance, and tenant discomfort. Jintong Perforated Metal designed and installed custom perforated aluminum sunshade panels that clipped onto existing mullions, enabled passive ventilation behind the panels, and required no invasive drilling. The solution reduced peak cooling load by 18%, lowered surface temperatures by 12°C, decreased tenant glare complaints by 65%, and extended maintenance intervals by 30%. The system demonstrates a high-performance, low-maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing solution for hard-to-access high-rise facades.

How Metal Sunshade Solutions Transformed a Hard‑to‑Access Facade in a High‑Rise Tower

In downtown Los Angeles, a 30-story commercial tower faced a persistent issue on its west-facing facade between floors 15 to 22. This zone, directly above a neighboring building, was nearly impossible to access using traditional maintenance systems. Excessive solar exposure led to overheating, increased HVAC costs, and frequent glare complaints from tenants.

1. The Problem: Overheating and Inaccessibility

The property manager reported tenant discomfort and elevated energy consumption. Thermal imaging showed facade surface temperatures soaring up to 65°C. Routine cleaning was skipped due to access limitations, compounding the problem. They needed a non-invasive, lightweight, yet high-performance sunshade solution.

2. The Solution: Perforated Aluminium Sunshade Panels

Jintong Perforated Metal proposed a custom-engineered perforated aluminum sunshade system. It allowed ventilation behind the panels, mitigating heat buildup. The panels were clipped onto existing mullions without heavy drilling, perfect for rope-access installation.

3. External Validation and Industry Best Practices

4. Results After Installation

Post-installation data showed:

  • 18% reduction in peak cooling load

  • Surface temperatures lowered by 12°C

  • Tenant glare complaints dropped by 65%

  • Maintenance intervals extended by 30%

5. Why This Matters

Perforated panels offered breathable shading without compromising aesthetics or access. In low-accessibility zones, they ensured long-term durability, easier inspections, and sustainability compliance.
