Does anyone have a specification for exterior operable shades that they can email me? My client wants to us Atrium Shade Company Olympus Side-Cabled Sunshade.
Thanks!

Conceptually, couldn't you start with ARCOM's (interior) roller window shades and modify accordingly?
Is designer looking to control with building automation/control system? If so, s/he should be aware of the complexities of control design, i.e., coordination with HVAC, (day) lighting, etc.

That is exactly what I am doing. So it begs the next question. What CSI MasterFormat number should I use?

I'd use 107113 Exterior Sun Control Devices. If you don't mind using 8-digit numbers in a project manual, you can use a number and title such as 107113.xx Exterior Window Shades or something similar.

Search on 107113 at www.productmasterspec.com. There is a section there based on Draper products.
