Sun Controls: A Sustainable Design Practice

The purpose of this presentation is to identify the principal social, economic, environmental, and human performance factors driving sustainable shading and day lighting design. Strategies essential to optimize thermal performance and interior illumination to enhance occupant well-being will be featured in the discussion, including modeling. The intent is to provide a fundamental understanding to support the design and specification of sustainable shading and day lighting systems. Identify economic, environmental and human performance factors that drive shading and day lighting design practices.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Identify economic, environmental and human performance factors that drive shading and day lighting design practices.
• Understand shading dynamics and the dynamic role of modeling.
• Explore effective strategies for optimized thermal performance and maximum sun control to enhance occupants’ comfort and well-being.
• Consider sun control design options, construction methods, and crucial engineering to establish a decision process for design and selection of sustainable shading and day-lighting systems.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
