ALTAIR LOUVRE WINDOWS

for Commercial Buildings

2009 Australian Institute of Architects Award for Public Architecture.
Breezway® Philosophy
At Breezway we believe buildings should be designed
Commercial Projects
to work with nature. Our Altair Louvres are a highly flexible
way to complement passive design principles. In particular our
louvres give designers the flexibility to change the philosophy
of commercial building designs with fixed lite windows that
require the full time running of air conditioning. Our Altair
Louvres allow air conditioning to be turned off while relying
on fresh air and breezes to ventilate and cool the building. It’s
a simple change in philosophy but one that can bring about
significant change.
