Specialty-opening project preparation
Skylight Shading Selection Matrix
Record skylight geometry, access, mounting, drive, power, control and approval inputs for specialist system review.
What this resource does and does not confirm
The matrix organizes project inputs. It does not confirm system suitability, tensioning, dimensions, structural loads or environmental performance.
Safe selection framework
- Describe the opening. Reference each opening and record its geometry, dimensions, mounting condition and project context.
- Coordinate access and interfaces. Record access, drive-selection, project power, requested control and cable-route inputs from the responsible disciplines.
- Prepare specialist review. Bring quantity, responsibility, drawing revision and approval requirements into the submission without assuming a final configuration.
Required project inputs
- Buyer role. State the role coordinating the request so review questions reach the correct project discipline.
- Project type. Describe the project context so the working file can be organized around the buyer's task.
- Product or system type. Describe the requested shading system in buyer terms and flag uncertain classification for review.
- Location identifiers. Use the project's floor, room and opening labels consistently across drawings and schedules.
- Opening geometry. Record project dimensions and the measurement basis for each identified opening.
- Inclined or overhead geometry. Flag inclined or overhead conditions and record the project geometry for specialist review.
- Mounting condition. State the proposed mounting or recess condition and identify surrounding constraints.
- Access and maintenance. Record the proposed access route and maintenance responsibility for project review.
- Drive-selection inputs. Record the requested drive position and selection inputs; leave final equipment fields for project review.
- Power-supply inputs. Record the project power information supplied by the electrical team without inferring equipment suitability.
- Control requirement and protocol. Describe the requested control outcome and any protocol identified by the project controls team.
- Cable route and power point. Mark proposed cable routes, handoff points and power-point locations on the coordinated drawing.
- Installation responsibility. Record the proposed responsibility for preparation, installation, connection, testing and approval.
- Drawing revision reference. Identify the drawing issue and revision used for the submission.
- Approval and sample submittal. List the samples, finishes or submittals that the project team needs to review.
- Quantity. Provide quantity by opening or item group and keep unlike configurations separate.
