Abstract
A combination of horizontal and vertical elements forming an eggcrate-type shading system is often used in the architectural design of building facades. An analytical-numerical method is presented to estimate the shading effect of such a structure on vertical windows of arbitrary azimuthal orientation. The effect of reflections from aggregate walls is accounted for in the analysis. Daily and monthly average solar radiation data are presented for shaded windows in Venice (45.40° northen latitude). The effects of the window geometry and the eggcrate projection are discussed.
