Currently, buildings are the single biggest contributor to GHG emissions, accounting for roughly half of all energy consumption in the U.S. and globally. It is crucial to reduce this level of consumption by including high-performance envelope strategies such as shading systems in all new building designs. In this course, we look at shading systems, examine shading and design strategies, and learn tips for successful selection and design.

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

  • Identify economic, environmental, and human performance factors that support sustainable shading and daylighting design.
  • Recall shading dynamics and the role of modeling.
  • Explore effective strategies for optimized thermal performance and interior illumination.
  • Consider sun control design options, construction methods, and crucial engineering considerations.
  • Establish a decision process for design and selection of sustainable shading and daylighting systems.

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