Brise soleil

A basic brise soleil at the Charles Wells Brewery for Wells & Co in Bedford, England. This photo was taken of the south facing elevation at noon in December, a little before the winter solstice. Note how all the windows are in the shade.

Brise soleil, sometimes brise-soleil (French: [bʁiz sɔlɛj]; lit. 'sun breaker'), is an architectural feature of a building that reduces its heat gain by deflecting incoming sunlight.[1] The system allows low-level sunlight to enter a building in the mornings, evenings and during winter but cuts out direct light during summer.[2]
