The system includes a series of operable louvers mounted on a four-sided frame and connected on each side to the operating mechanism that allows for easy opening and closing of the louvers. Every part of the system that is exposing to the exterior of the building is separated from the interior part of the system by a low heat conductivity material as a thermal barrier. Each operable louver includes a four-sided main frame, at least one pane of glass and a coupling mechanism on each side that connects to the operating mechanism. The main frame acts as the thermal break as well as a system that absorbs the energy created when an outside object impacts the window from the outside. The system incorporates sealing devices between all moving parts to eliminate water and air infiltration. The operating system allows for easy opening and closing of the window by rotating each louver with the crank mechanism assisted by springs.

The invention relates to a slat (1) or a slatted roof (20) or a slatted window, comprising a light-permeable sheet-like covering element (2) having a longitudinal extent and width (b), wherein the width (b) is less than the longitudinal extent, and having an axis of rotation (5) which runs along the longitudinal extent of the slat (1) in order to pivot the slat (1) between a closed position and an open position. In order to allow a particularly flexible variation of the incoming sunlight entering a room (22) situated below the slatted roof (20) and in order to be able to set the desired temperature, climate control and brightness conditions in the room in a targeted manner, it is proposed that the slat (1) has at least one light-impermeable sheet-like shading element (6) having a longitudinal extent and a width (h), in which the shading element extends with the longitudinal extent thereof along the longitudinal extent of the covering element (2), that it is arranged with a first longitudinal side (6a) on the covering element (2) and projects with a second longitudinal side (6b), opposite the first longitudinal side (6a), from the covering element (2), wherein the at least one shading element (6) is arranged in the areal extent thereof at an angle () to the areal extent of the covering element (2). (FIG. 10).
