Development of new types of sun shielding systems based on daylight conducting sun shielding glass slats

The solar shading system development is based on analyses of daylight conditions at different types of solar-shading glass louvres under the IESve/Radiance programme. The chosen system has glass louvres with solar-reflective coating and 30 degree angle. The system was tested through measurements made in the daylight laboratory at Danish Building Research Institute-AAU, and its effect on the thermal indoor climate was calculated in BSim and through measurements in the outdoor test facility at DTU Civil Engineering. The glass louvres do not limit the view to the same extent as metal louvres or glass louvres with printed silk patterns. The developed system will be tested on a building in project 340-039.
