| Office Applicattion:The climate can also trigger materials to ajust to control lighting and views. This product uses two to three metal sheets that align their holes depending on the climate. The amount of light and view is controlled by the climate. The control of lighting can be to either block light or to allow the most light in depending on the preference of the occupants. The system ones in place cannot be adjusted, but it can be made to meet one's requirements prior to installation. |  |

Product Summary:This wall is a double-layered system of two panels facing out the street with perforated holes. The two panels are made out of different alloys of perforated metals. They will contract or expand at different rated depending on the temperature. At extreme heat they will block light by de-aligning the openings. At colder temperatures they will re-align. Deferent alloys are required depending on the climate of your building |

| Architectural Applications: Here this building is using the thermal metal panel system to control light from reaching directly to the main spaces (trellis like approach). Also the sheets are used as the main skin of the building creating and architecturally pleasing building. |  |
