Final report (English)

Buildings with highly glazed façades are becoming increasingly popular around the world. Shading devices are vital components for preventing overheating in buildings during the summer and reducing and/or eliminating the need for active cooling. Building energy simulation programs are tools which can be used to predict and optimize energy performance in buildings. The integral approach―by which all relevant energy transport paths are simultaneously processed―makes these programs essential for designing modern buildings. However, successful application of a program requires careful and thorough validations. This is especially true when assessing solar gain models.
