Published on: 20/05/2026

Exterior motorized screens interact with the building envelope's thermal performance at the fenestration layer. Understanding how fabric solar optical properties translate into SHGC reductions, ASHRAE 90.1 compliance contributions, and measurable cooling load impacts gives designers the data framework to specify screen fabrics with thermal performance intentionality rather than by color preference alone.

Published on: 22/04/2026

Florida Building Code compliance for motorized screens is a three-tier system: statewide Product Approval, Broward County approval, and Miami-Dade NOA for the HVHZ. Builders who understand which tier applies to each project, what documentation each tier requires, and how the approval interacts with the permit process will move projects through inspection without delays or non-compliance findings.
