Abstract

A general model is proposed to optimize the shading interaction between an awning and an external wall that project shadows on the facade of a construction. The original method was presented by the authors in Renewable Energy 28 (2003): 111, for a particular shading proposal. They emphasize the advantage of a one-dimensional approach to solve the problem of this interaction, analyzing the shadows projected by these elements from a side view. The generalized method, presented in this paper, is useful for architects to design shelter projects with more alternatives in the use of such shading devices. The general model also permits study and evaluation of any strategy chosen by the builder to shadow a facade, with an emphasis on windowpane shading, through graphical outputs of the solar performance.
