Solar Shading
Solar shading refers to the shading systems used to control the amount of solar radiation and sunlight admitted from the sun into a building. Solar shading devices must be optimized to minimize heat gains during the summer, maximize solar exposure during the winter, and allow adequate daylight to penetrate the building all year long.
