J.M. Maly, Inc. was chosen to assist with design, furnish, and install vertical and horizontal sunshades on the anticipated prestigious LEED Gold certified project.

LEED design conception incorporating sunshades will reduce solar heat gain by shading vision areas while allowing natural daylighting.
