Project Overview

3 story, 1-million-square-foot building. Over 1400 MechoShade motorized shade bands installed in pocket box. The entire building was equipped with Mecho SolarTrac system, which uses algorithms to plot the sun’s light impact on the building at any given moment. This information is combined with data from CWI installed rooftop radiometers monitoring real-time sky conditions. Over a thousand solar shades operate autonomously, keeping interior light conditions optimal. CWI’s ability to successfully plan, install, and self-commission SolarTrac projects of this magnitude set us apart.

Installation over K-braces was addressed with fall protection harnesses. Full time CWI safety officer on site to supervise safe installation in challenging conditions.
Supplier
Delays caused by aluminum extruder supplier were overcome by increasing staff (+20 installers) to ensure project met TCO.
