With the Kurt-Masur-Schule (formerly 3. Schule Leipzig), the southern part of the city of Leipzig has gained a colourful school building. The new building was designed according to Passive House standard (PHPP) and provides space for approx. 560 pupils. The facade of the cuboid construction is layered with a white exterior insulation and finish system. Horizontal window strips bordered with rear-ventilated aluminium panels shape the external appearance significantly. The friendly and communicative character of the building is brought to life in particular by the high-grade, colourful sun shading solutions and ensures optimum sun shading and glare control indoors.

Our software tool supports you in planning the suitable sun shading system. The interactive, web-based tool provides brief descriptions, application examples and a wealth of additional information to help you select the right system. Furthermore, it contains a CAD configurator with which you can independently generate sections and views and adapt them to the structural conditions.
