THE IMPACT OF SHADING DEVICES ON THE VISUAL COMFORT AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF OFFICE ROOMS
Abstract: External shading devices on a building façade is a significant passive design strategy which can decrease direct solar radiation while controlling the direct daylight. While having an immense aesthetic impression, shading devices help to minimize the incident solar radiation and control daylight penetration, hence create a considerable effect on the building’s energy performance. As energy conservation and efficiency are fundamental areas of focus in contemporary building design, the effect of …
