| Abstract | Large areas of glass in any facade that receives direct sunshine require shading if people must work near the windows. The best arrangement, from the point of view of solar control, is to design the building with the glass facing north; the second best arrangement is to have it facing south and to provide both a canopy shade and a venetian blind. When windows must face east or west, the summer heat gain can be minimized by placing a slat type shade on the outside, or if this is impractical, by using double glazing with a blind between the panes. |
