RESEARCH INTO SHADING EFFECTIVENESS - Helena Bubica





Conclusions on shading effectiveness.
Here is some of my research into the differents types of shading devices and their effectiveness.
The following is to note: The sun protection effect for glass surfaces depends on several factors:
  • The reflectivity of solar radiation of the applied material and it's colour coating (A),
  • The location of the shade protection which influences the reradiation and convection heat impacts (B),
  • And, the specific arrangement of the applied shading method (C).

The above images show a table and picture format of displaying these conclusions and results.

Even though our team Sangath 7 have decided in week 6 to use NO GLASS, I decided to still post this initial research that I have gathered on the topic anyway.

To read this table information - the highest panel states the level of: 'Shading Coefficient (Transmitted Radiation Impact)'. The result is pictured and described below it's value.

Image 1: Levels 1.00 - 0.75

Image 2: Levels 0.75 - 0.50

Image 3: Levels 0.50 - 0.25

Image 4: Levels 0.25 - 0.00
