Louver & Sunshade Engineering + Shop Drawings
Engineer & Drafting Exterior Shading Systems That Actually Perform
engineering + drafting + field constructability
Modern commercial buildings rely on louvers, sunshades, decorative fins, and exterior shading elements to control heat gain, improve occupant comfort, support sustainability goals, and strengthen architectural identity. But these systems are only as successful as the engineering behind their attachment, load path, movement accommodation, and interface with the building envelope.
At JEI Structural, we provide Louver & Sunshade Attachment Engineering for architects, glazing contractors, façade consultants, manufacturers, and general contractors who need these systems to be both beautiful and buildable.
Our team specializes in wind load calculations, anchorage design, dead-load support, thermal movement, vibration control, cladding transitions, and delegated design engineering for exterior shading systems across the United States and internationally.
Architectural Sunshade Engineering & Shop Drawings
JEI provides architectural sunshade engineering, attachment calculations, and fabrication-ready shop drawings for commercial façade systems that must perform under real-world wind, dead load, thermal movement, and cladding interface conditions. Our team supports architects, glazing contractors, manufacturers, and general contractors with PE-stamped calculations, delegated design support, anchorage details, thermal break coordination, and field-ready drafting packages that reduce RFIs and improve constructability. From sleek exterior shading blades to complex custom aluminum sunshade assemblies, JEI helps transform design intent into buildable, code-aligned engineering and drafting solutions across the United States and internationally.
