Hello
I am looking for any study already carried out for a bioclimatic pergola with motorized adjustable slat.
Dimension 7.60 x 3.50m leaning against the house.
The design is very simple and yet the prices are super high (example of a quote at 15000€)
If any of you are interested in doing it yourself. I will be delighted to have your experience
Hi @ david
Here is a link on the subject

It smells like a challenge, the form of a challenge, but it's not a challenge! ;p
In your quote you must be careful that the assembly is not counted otherwise the value of the pergola will be distorted.
The most complicated thing is not the design, but the programming.
We need a system that can really orient the blades according to the position of the sun and not in relation to a theoretically calculated position of the sun.
It is this system and its programming that drive up the price.
The orientation of the slats according to the climatic conditions (wind, sun, etc.) is optional. There are cranks to orient the blades yourself manually.
Even with the crank, we are indeed in the price orders mentioned by David.
I'm also interested in the project but unfortunately not good enough in DIY.
Hello
I was a manufacturer of bioclimatic pergola with adjustable slats + lots of options: lighting, heating, side blinds.....

Well... +1, interested
Do we design one and make it in series? Do we open a presale and launch a challenge as suggested by @Tomalam?
There's a market, guys! And the girls...
After that, we'll do a tour of France for the installations!
;-D
Subsidiary questions:
If the design is very simple, why look for a study that has already been carried out?
Why don't you do your own study?
The system of adjustable slats is not complicated in itself.
Bent-metal or commercial metal blades, tensioning cables connected to the blades to rotate them.
A steel frame for the structure and voila.
For orientation, either manual with a crank, either a theoretical orientation as mentioned above, or a module with light detection but it costs an arm and a leg...
Then as far as bio-climatic is concerned, I don't know much about it... But it's just a question of insulation, trawler transmission etc...
I think that the "bio-climatic" is due to the fact that the blades can move and provide the maximum shade depending on the position of the sun.
It's a function that I find difficult to find useful for on a pergola. (on a bay window or solar panels I understand, but here...).
Can someone explain the interest to me?
The orientation of the blades is especially interesting when they are closed. Imagine a summer evening a family meal on the terrace with the weather getting rainy. You tilt the slats which when closed form a waterproof cover. No need to pack everything up. How many times has this situation ruined a good evening.
Then the piloting according to the sun personally not useful.
Okay, so this is just a rigid patio awning.
What is the link with bio-climatic in this case?
Is it just to be eco-friendly and sell at a higher price?
Hi all
For me, the term bioclimatic is more of a purely marketing buzzword for a pergola.
Ok, the slats are oriented to let the sun in or protect themselves from the rain.
Before, there were blinds that unfolded or folded, so we can say that the blind is bioclimatic???

I find the price of 15,000€ quite exorbitant. Ok, the software for the automatic management of the sun's position takes time to be developed, but then it costs nothing. An electronic board with a few components, especially made in large series, even with the amortization of the software study over 3 years is derisory.
They must be making room for themselves on that.
It remains to be seen whether it is the manufacturer, the wholesaler or the dealer who benefits the most.

PS: I didn't get up in a good mood this morning;)
@ s.b
You forgot to take into account the cost of the advertising brochures that had to be redone to add the term "bio-climatic" in order to stick to the current ecological fashion. :D :D
PS: I didn't get up on the right foot either;)
Ooh there is an atmosphere here....
For the price, it's all the more difficult if the automatic orientation option has not been costed!!!! Did I understand you correctly@david?
Go to the Solisysteme website.
They are the leaders in the field of bio-climatic pergolas.
Plus, he works with Solidworks!
Indeed, the price does not include this option. The base price is around 600€/m² and it can go up to 900€ to tell you that they are making money.
The term bioclimatic is indeed marketing but still has its meaning because it is about regulating the ambient temperature on the terrace by simply exploiting the air circulation and the protection of the sun.
But we can say that it is almost a pleonasm to say that a pergola is bioclimatic.
In short, it will remain organic if the control remains manual
frankly I don't see what has BIO in aluminum and plastic
Now I want to design a sun and rain protection screen
ventilating a pergola that has no wall I'm laughing
This type of product could be interesting
on veranda roofs so well stretched it can be waterproof to rain
and has a thermal insulator in its mass
or on the roof of a veranda as a sunshade

Are you right @gt22, nothing beats 2 parasols, a Perrier and a 51........... Yes I'm giving you a room... ;-)
I like this principle... but not at 15000€.
Wait a little while before buying.
Soon Fab21 will market my modular gantry project.
Ideal to replace this yellow parasol...
