In 2019, a Passive House was built in Los Angeles to the highest standards. The architect and owner made the informed choice of the newest "Made in Germany" technology. All WAREMA external venetian blinds are automatically turned to the correct slat angle using the WAREMA climatronic® control with slat tracking. The building received the Energy Efficiency Award.

- Sun shading solution: WAREMA external venetian blinds stop rooms from heating up in summer and protect private spaces at night. The curtains are equipped with a special WAREMA control, which provides slat tracking during the day. In this way, the slats are always adjusted to the position of the sun. They are opened are far as is possible without creating direct glare.
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.
