Sunshade devices on exterior windows

Sunshade devices on exterior windows

Postby lnuh » Sat Jan 26, 2019 12:10 pm

I run into this question on a practice exam that asked to place sunshade devices around the building to help minimize heat from entering the building. The Building is in the USA , would you place it on three facades? (East, west and south) and leave the north side windows without it? Thanks!

The answer will depend on the style of sunshade. The north facade won't need anything in the USA, but vertical vs horizontal shades vs briese soliel (sp?) will be specific to certain orientations.

Here's a diagram:
