Abstract

Solar shading devices play an important role in reducing cooling energy consumption and glare risk. This paper carried out a simulation based analysis on movable solar shading devices. Different blind angles are considered in order to determine the suitable solar shading performance for summer and winter conditions. Results show that the suitable slat angle is 20 degrees for summer conditions while it is 110 degrees for winter conditions. Furthermore, the fitting equations of solar shading performance for different blind dimensions are given in order to help designers select the suitable shading devices for applications.
