Numerical Investigation of Capabilities for Dynamic Self-Shading through Shape Changing Building Surface Tiles
TL;DR: Results indicate that a morphing wrinkle pattern can substantially increase the amount and duration of surface area in shade over time in comparison to any of the static (non-morphing) patterns, although it is noted that there is an expected tradeoff in the energy cost to change the surface pattern.

All-weather model for sky luminance distribution—Preliminary configuration and validation
TL;DR: In this article, the mean instantaneous sky luminance angular distribution pattern for all sky conditions from overcast to clear, through partly cloudy, skies is described. But the model is not suitable for the case of clouds.

The impact of shading design and control on building cooling and lighting demand
TL;DR: In this paper, the simultaneous impact of glazing area, shading device properties and shading control on building cooling and lighting demand was calculated using a coupled lighting and thermal simulation module, and the simulation results indicated that, if an integrated approach for automatic control of motorized shading is used in conjunction with controllable electric lighting systems, substantial reduction of energy demand for cooling in perimeter spaces, depending on climatic conditions and orientation.
