Exterior shading devices offer a number of advantages that contribute to a more sustainable building, including minimizing cooling costs, reducing peak electricity demand, and controlling glare. These benefits result in greater occupant comfort and improved productivity. This course provides a review of exterior aluminum shading device systems, including the components, finishes, and design and engineering considerations, as well as a discussion of how shading strategies contribute to LEED® certification.

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

  • List the advantages of designing with exterior shading devices that contribute to greater energy efficiency and occupant comfort and a more sustainable building.
  • Explain the types, common components, and finishes of exterior shading devices.
  • State the design and engineering considerations related to shading device systems to specify and detail the most efficient shading strategy in order to lower solar heat gain and minimize glare.
  • Discuss how shading strategies contribute to LEED v4 BD+C in several categories.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
