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.
