Multi-performative façade systems: The case of real-time adaptive BIPV shading systems to enhance energy generation potential and visual comfort
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the case of a real-time adaptive Building Integrated Photo Voltaic (BIPV) shading system and its ability (in comparison with traditional static building integrated photo voltaic façade systems) to perform as regards visual comfort and energy generation potential simultaneously within the humid subtropical climate of Sydney, Australia.

Effect of Window Openable Area and Shading on Indoor Thermal Comfort and Energy Efficiency in Residential Buildings with Various Operating Modes
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated residential buildings' indoor thermal environment and energy efficiency by combining the effective ventilation opening area ratio (REV) and shading design, and they concluded that the openable area of exterior windows in residential buildings in Chongqing should not be less than 10% of the room's floor axis area where the exterior windows are located.

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.
