While
the tropics may conjure up images of comfort, the owners of a
residence in San Juan, Puerto Rico used a little ingenuity to
enhance its outdoor entertaining space. This newly designed terrace
is enclosed with galvanized painted steel tubing and topped by a
mobile aluminum louver system, painted white to fit the décor.
Energy efficiency was at the forefront of the resulting space with
Equinox solar power operated louvers by Plano, Texas-based Amerimax
Building Products Inc. and a high-efficiency Isis fan from the Big
Ass Fan Co., Lexington, Ky. Puerto Rico's beautiful weather allows
the fan to be used year-round, while the operable louvers offer
protection from the daytime sun or allow natural light when
desired.
