What is Shading Device

 Shading devices are equipments that are used

externally or internally or in between the
building spaces to protect from direct sunlight.

 Objective is to create comfortable internal

environment.
Importance of Sun Shading Devices

 To reduce the heat gains during summer and promote

heat gain during winter, reduce the HVAC loads and
therefore minimize energy costs. Use of shading device
can improve building energy performance.

 To prevent glare (causing discomfort or disablility of vision).

 To increase useful daylight availability.

 To create a sense of security- internal sun shading devices

like curtains help to beautify internal space and create a sense
of privacy.
