We are working on a project that plans to put a Koolshade glare control (microlouver - https://www.smartlouvre.com/).
What would be the impact of this choice on this criterion?
Two solutions have to be evaluated:
1. 2 vertical modules over the entire height of the floor, sliding horizontally (including one fixed module)
2. 3 horizontal modules distributed over the entire height of the floor and sliding vertically.
Is there a better solution than another for this criterion?
Many thanks for your answers.

You will have to make your case to the reviewer -
1. are they on manual or automatic controls
2. what is the coverage in the various scenarios
3. what are the dimensions of the louvers - are they solid? perforated?
In any case, I would strongly suggest NOT directing the Reviewer to a website for information. Make it easy for them to do their job.

Thanks for your return.
Of course, I won't redirect the reviewer to a website, it was just for illustrating the product for the forum.
Concerning this criterion, I just have an uncertainty about the "obstructed view" point.
In the case of a permanent position on half of the window over the whole height (case 1 in my precedent message), can it be considered as an "obstructed view"? The link referred to a picture of the view outwards with the Koolshade.
Or would the 2nd solution then be preferable for this constraint?
