This book documents in detail the thermal and daylighting properties of shading systems, examining the impact of design parameters and providing guidance on evaluation of the thermal behavior of the systems and visual comfort. The assessment of shading devices is based not only on basic equations but also on digital models imported in simulation software and measurements taken from physical models. The generation of energy through integrated PV facades and PV shading systems is discussed with reference to design and efficiency. This book will be invaluable for all engineers, architects, and designers who are interested in energy-efficient design.
