Innovative shading design reduces energy consumption in buildings.
The design of highly glazed facades aims to control heat gain and loss by minimizing solar heat and external temperature gains. Innovative shading solutions, like dynamic shading, can help reduce solar gains on west and east facades. Careful design is needed to prevent high glass temperatures and excessive heat in the space. Integrating facade design with overall environmental design is crucial, considering ventilation and thermal capacity. Measures to reduce internally generated heat, like lighting and electronics, are important. Ventilation can be minimized for comfort, with additional cooling methods used when needed.
