How Modular Sunshade & Ventilation Panels Solved Industrial Overheating in Prefab Warehouses
How Modular Sunshade & Ventilation Panels Solved Industrial Overheating in Prefab Warehouses
In the summer of 2023, a Southeast Asian logistics company expanded its prefab warehouse facilities to meet e-commerce demands. However, the structures—built using containerized modular construction—faced serious overheating. Forklift operators reported internal temperatures exceeding 39°C, leading to productivity drops and increased absenteeism. Initially, the team tried reflective coatings and vertical louvers, but these methods provided negligible airflow and proved difficult to maintain. Upon consultation, our engineers recommended modular kit metal sunshade and ventilation panels. Inspired by international standards like ISO 52079 and validated via thermal convection studies on ScienceDirect, our product delivered both immediate and long-term benefits.
Application Scenario
The warehouse measured 60 m × 20 m, with steel modular containers arranged in two tiers. The southwest façade bore the brunt of afternoon heat. We deployed 160 modular ventilation panels with a 70mm stand-off cavity. Thermal modeling (supported by MDPI sustainability research) confirmed a potential 20% drop in solar heat gain. Each panel was aligned to match the steel frame's corrugation pattern, enabling a flush, industrial look that also met passive ventilation criteria.
Specifications & Assembly
Panels measured 1200mm × 2400mm, constructed from 2.5mm thick aluminum sheets. Perforations followed a hexagonal pattern (8mm holes, 18mm pitch), with 30% open area. All finishes were anti-corrosive PVDF coated. We referenced airflow metrics published in ResearchGate studies. Install teams used pre-aligned brackets bolted directly to steel purlins. Despite high humidity, full cladding was completed within four workdays. The modular panel system required no on-site cutting, unlike the previous steel louvers.
Design Details & Aesthetic Integration
Architects chose dark matte gray to match container surfaces and integrated logo perforations on three panels for branding. Internal acoustic improvements were achieved using our Acoustic Perforated Panels, while the loading docks used Anti-Slip Perforated Panels for ramps. Inside offices featured Decorative Perforated Panels. Our design approach drew inspiration from passive cooling strategies outlined in Archinect and building envelope standards by CABA.
Regulatory Testing & Industry Benchmarking
All panels were evaluated under ASCE 7 loading protocols. Acoustic performance surpassed 26 dB sound attenuation per Building and Environment Journal studies. The fire rating complied with EN 13501-1: A2-s1,d0. Durability ratings followed US DOE façade testing frameworks. The full system was certified sustainable under ISO 14001, reducing operational cooling loads by 21% based on real-time monitoring. Water-shedding capability of the angled panels also improved envelope integrity during monsoon season.
Case Study Outcome
Before retrofitting, workers experienced fatigue and ventilation fans ran continuously. Post-installation, the indoor temperature during peak hours dropped by 5.6°C. One supervisor noted, “The difference was immediate—we now run fans only half the time.” Productivity increased by 12%, and maintenance was reduced thanks to the panel’s self-cleaning geometry. This approach has since been adopted across the client’s other regional hubs. Supporting case examples include:
