    This document discusses designing solar shading for openings on the south, west, and north sides of a building. It provides calculations to determine the optimal depth and angle of shading devices for the kitchen on the south side and living room on the west side. For the west side, a shading depth of 407.6mm at an angle of 60 degrees is recommended. For the north side, a horizontal shading device of 430mm depth is recommended based on calculations of the vertical shading angle. The document aims to plan building elements for optimal solar shading through the use of charts and calculations of sun and shade patterns throughout the year.

    TASK C: SOLAR SHADING

    1
    For a given site, if we can create a
    chart that shows the areas of year
    round shade and year round
    sunshine, we can plan and design the
    various elements for optimal
    functioning.

    west and north-east side.

    Period of year when shading is required: March-July
    Time duration when shading is required: 1pm-5pm
    Azimuth, Altitude and HSA (Horizontal shading Angle) for each hour at that particular day.

    March 25/ West 1:00 PM 2:00 PM 3:00 PM 4:00 PM 5:00 PM


    Azimuth 210.93° 236.31° 249.82° 258.35° 264.76°
    Altitude 67.75° 57.94° 45.44° 31.99° 18.19°
    HSA 59° 34° 20.18° 13.65° 5.24°

    For west facade, the lowest HSA is 5.24° at 5pm. Designing for this HSA would result in extremely
    large shading device. Hence the shading may be designed for an HSA of 20.18°
    Let us consider an opening of size 1500*1000mm for the living room.
    Depth = width/tan(HSA)
    D= 1500/tan(20.18°) = 4076.08mm
    Shading by a single fin may result in a very deep shading. Instead considering 10 louvre sections of
    150mm. Hence,
    D= 150/tan(20.18°) = 407.60mm
    The depth can be reduced by designing the louvers at an angle.
    Reducing the depth to half and placing it at an angle of 60°. Thus the desired
    NORTH (Horizontal shading device)
    Period of year when shading is required: March-July
    Date: 25 March 2021
    Time duration when shading is required: 8am-12pm
    Azimuth, Altitude, VSA (Vertical shading angle) and HSA (Horizontal shading Angle)
    for each hour at that particular day.
    March 25/ North 8:00 AM 9:00 AM 10:00 AM 11:00 AM 12:00 PM
    Azimuth 98.26° 105.51° 115.98° 134.18° 168.77°
    Altitude 25.08° 38.75° 51.84° 63.36° 70.29°
    HSA 98.26° 105.51° 115.98° 134.18° 168.77°
    VSA 72.89° 71.5° 70.9° 70.6° 70.62°

    VSA= tan^-1{tan(altitude)/cos(HSA)}

    tan(altitude) 0.468 0.803 1.273 1.993 2.791


    cos(HSA) -0.144 -0.438 -0.697 -0.697 -0.981
    tan(altitude)/cos(HSA) -3.25 -3 -2.9 -2.85 -2.84
    VSA 72.89° 71.5° 70.9° 70.6° 70.62° 8
    Lowest VSA value is 70.6°. This designing a shading device
    for VSA = 70.6°.
    Considering an opening of 1500mm*1200mm, where
    height=1200mm
    For a single horizontal shade.
    Depth= height/tan(VSA)
    D= 1200/tan(70.6°)
    D= 428.5= 430mm
