Solar shading for commercial buildings: the benefits

Designers, architects and engineers should consider shading at the early stage of a project design as an essential tool to deliver energy efficiencies and sustainability.

From offices and schools to hospitals and leisure facilities, effective use of shading means greater control over indoor temperatures, daylight levels and glare to create comfortable and productive environments.

In modern, highly insulated and airtight buildings such as zero energy buildings, shading should be one of the first steps in the design of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

It reduces or eliminates the need for active cooling in the summer and allows the harvesting of free solar energy in the winter.

The design of The Shard building in London was only possible due to the highly effective automated shading in the double skinned facade.

With energy prices continuing to rise, shading is a proven energy saving technology that delivers real benefits to people and the environment.
