ALTAIR LOUVRE WINDOWS for Commercial Buildings Picture: Manea Tafe College, Bunbury, WA 2009 Australian Institute of Architects Award for Public Architecture.
Breezway Philosophy At Breezway we believe buildings should be designed 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.

Fully tested to comply with AS2047 Windows in Buildings. Tight sealing provides low air infiltration and ensures superior wind and water performance. Widest choice of customising options to provide greater design flexibility. Insect or security screens can be easily fitted when the Breezway Easyscreen or Innoscreen Window System is used. For high risk areas, security bars or key-lock systems are available. Handles and clips can be colour matched to over 70 aluminium finishes. Energy Efficient Window Solution Altair Louvre Windows are an environmentally sustainable alternative to fixed lite panels for maximising the flow of natural light and fresh breezes into a building. Fully WERS rated, Altair Louvres can improve indoor airflow and significantly reduce the need for artificial cooling and lighting systems. By placing Altair Louvres on internal walls, fresh air can further ventilate throughout the interior of the building, whilst providing a connection to the outside environment to enhance the occupant s daily experience with the space.

Technical Data High Durability Finishes Breezway has an onsite powder-coating line that is certified by Dulux to apply Duralloy and Duratec powders and by Akzo Nobel to apply Interpon D1000 and Interpon D2010 powders. Seven and ten year warranties are offered on these products. Fully Energy Rated Energy ratings for Breezway Window Systems with a wide variety of glazing options are publicly available from the WERS website (www.wers.net). Breezway Louvre Windows with glass blades can achieve U-values as low as 4.4 and SHGCs from 0.32 up to 0.64. A research report commissioned by Breezway shows that Easyscreen Louvre Windows with Western Red Cedar Blades have a U-value of 4.4 and a SHGC of 0.1. (While these results are suitable for comparison with ratings in the WERS database, they are not authorised WERS ratings). Acoustic Insulation Ratings Testing shows that Altair Louvre Windows achieve STC ratings of 27-28 when toughened glass blades are installed. This is comparable to the acoustic properties of some double glazed windows.
