After assessing the
overheating period on a shading time table and the solar stress impact on a
massing model, one can then design an appropriate shading device that will
block the unwanted solar gains. The effectiveness of
the various shading device configurations can be determined by computing
simple thermal analyses passes, and weighting them against beneficial winter
solar gains. Solar and light access
analyses can be done to identify when – and how much - a particular structure
will be shading another. This type of
study can be used to show compliance with certain city right-to-light
requirements. |
