Abstract

There are many reasons to control the amount of sunlight admitted into a building. In warm, sunny climates excess solar gain may result in high cooling energy consumption. In cold and temperate climates winter sun entering south-facing windows can positively contribute to passive solar heating; and in nearly all climates controlling and diffusing natural Illumination will improve day lighting. A Well-designed sun control and shading devices can dramatically reduce building peak heat gain and cooling requirements and improve the Natural lighting quality of building interiors. In this casestudy Shading Devices commonly found in India are evaluated to find Optimized Shading Device for Hot-Dry Climate of South India
