High-Performance Enclosures – Exterior Shade Design
High-Performance Enclosures – Exterior Shade Design
Exterior shading is essential for reducing solar heat gain and glare in buildings, especially as energy codes demand better performance and temperatures rise. Effective shading ensures energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and safety. In this session, Felix Weber, Principal and Façade Specialist, and Daniel Haaland, Associate and Building Science Engineer, will cover exterior shading fundamentals and introduce a design tool for assessing shading efficiency. Through recent projects examples, you'll see effective shading in energy-efficient design. Gain practical insights into shading's role in sustainable design.
