A leading projection extends from the first louver and is rotated downward as the first louver operates between open and a closed positions. A trailing projection extends from the second louver and is rotated upward as the second louver operates between open and a closed positions. An elongated track is positioned below the louver panel and is spaced from the louver panel by a flap structure having a sealing membrane.

There is provided a ceiling panel for a pod room. The ceiling panel comprises one or more cover components movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration; and an actuation mechanism configured to move the one or more cover components from the closed configuration to the open configuration in response to a trigger. The ceiling panel may provide a specified percentage open area in the open configuration. The ceiling panel may be adapted to acoustically insulate the pod room in the closed configuration.

The present disclosure relates to a building structure having a convertible roof with at least one moveable roof section. The moveable roof section can include an integrated overhang. The moveable roof section can also include a roller that rides on a track formed by an angle member. The convertible roof can further have a configuration that reduces rafter visibility.

A louver canopy comprises a frame with a top disposed with parallel rafters; a plurality of louvers rotationally connected between the rafters and sequentially arranged along a length direction of the rafters, the louvers are disposed at intervals and parallel to each other, each of the louvers includes an elongated flashing; a baffle connected to a first long side of the flashing; an elongated first guide groove formed between the baffle and the flashing; When the louvers rotate to a closed state, an opening of the first guide groove faces upward, and a second long side of the flashing passes over a top of the baffle of an adjacent louver of the louvers and positions above the first guide groove of the adjacent louver.

A four-device-in-one skybox dehydrator sauna wind-redirecting bungalow comprises: adjustable louver blades attached to side gutter beams for preventing rainwater from getting into the bungalow and adjustably controlling amount of sunlight that shines into the bungalow, chutes formed to the side gutter beams and end gutter beams, solar-rechargeable batteries installed within adjustable louver blades for powering led lights and saving costs of replacing non-rechargeable alkaline batteries and helping reduce carbon footprint, a solar panel mounted to adjustable louver blades for collecting solar energy to charge and recharge rechargeable batteries and saving energy costs associated with lighting the bungalow and saving costs of replacing with non-rechargeable alkaline batteries and providing freedom to place the bungalow away from a power outlet and helping reduce carbon footprint, panel frames, panel inserts inserted within the panel frames for enabling the bungalow to become a sauna and a skybox and a dehydrator and providing security and insulation and protection from wind within the bungalow, louver braces inserted within the panel frames for allowing the louvers to be rotated, flipped, and positioned to redirect wind direction and structuringly securing louvers, axis pins inserted within the louver braces for providing eight locking points to reposition and locking and unlocking and pivotingly functionalizing the louver braces, louvers attached to the louver braces for redirecting and blocking and reducing and sealing the bungalow to create a sauna and a skybox and a dehydrator, an inner-track insert slidably inserted within hook-sliding track for providing a smooth sound-dampening track for slide hooks to be inserted for securing a curtain or insect screen, a curtain removably hooked onto slide hooks for providing privacy and protection from harmful sun rays and wind and insects, an extending-and-retracting door for providing protection from wind and harmful sun rays and insulation from cold temperatures and security within bungalow, door-spool housing attached to door-spool-housing bracket for providing discrete storage and protection of the extending-and-retracting door, drain openings formed into the corner-posts, corner-post-base-plate covers slidably attached onto the corner-posts, corner-post base-plates secured to the corner-posts, sliding-door track attached to the corner-post base-plates, the panel frames interchangably and slidably placed into the sliding-door track, anchoring-screw holes drilled into the corner-post base-plates, and tube-screws screwed into the anchoring-screw holes for leveling bungalow when installed on an uneven ground sur

There is provided a ceiling panel for a pod room. The ceiling panel comprises one or more cover components movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration; and an actuation mechanism configured to move the one or more cover components from the closed configuration to the open configuration in response to a trigger. The ceiling panel may provide a specified percentage open area in the open configuration. The ceiling panel may be adapted to acoustically insulate the pod room in the closed configuration.

An installation for covering and uncovering a surface includes a series of slats of adjustable inclination supported by pivot pins via a set having a first carriage and a second carriage. A movement system has, for each head slat, movement motors on board the first and second carriages. For the even-numbered slats, firstly a retractable coupling (A) is fastened between the first carriage of said slat and the first carriage belonging to the head slat or to the neighboring slat of lower number, and secondly a drive system (S) is provided for driving the second carriage of said slat in translation. For each odd-numbered slat that is present, a retractable coupling (A) is fastened between the second carriage of said slat and the second carriage belonging to the neighboring slat of lower number, and a drive system (S) is provided for driving the first carriage of said slat in translation.

There is provided an apparatus comprising a roof panel (20) and control system (14), the roof panel comprising one or more cover portions that are moveable between open and closed positions for opening and closing the roof panel. The control system comprises an actuator (40) for moving the cover portions between the open and closed positions, a mains power supply input, and an emergency power store. The control system is configured to receive one or more signals indicative of an emergency, to power the actuator from the mains power supply when the signals indicate there is no emergency, and to power the actuator from the emergency power store when the signals indicate there is an emergency.

A greenhouse has a roof including a plurality of substantially parallel crossbeams, at least two longitudinal sections which are mounted to the crossbeams and extend at a distance from each other in transverse direction of the crossbeams, a transparent foil which is mounted to the longitudinal sections at respective foil attachment locations thereof so as to form a cover between the longitudinal sections. The roof also includes a displacement mechanism for displacing one of the longitudinal sections with respect to the other between a non-foil-stretching position and a foil-stretching position. The distance between the respective foil attachment locations is larger in the foil-stretching position than in the non-foil-stretching position. The displacement mechanism can be operated and is lockable at an upper side of the roof.
