Shading Systems: Design, Performance, and Integrated Photovoltaics

Know about the book -

Shading Systems: Design, Performance, and Integrated Photovoltaics is written by Maria Mandalaki and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3319019740 (ISBN 10) and 9783319019741 (ISBN 13).

This book documents in detail the thermal and daylighting properties of shading systems, examining the impact of design parameters and providing guidance on evaluation of the thermal behavior of the systems and visual comfort. The assessment of shading devices is based not only on basic equations but also on digital models imported in simulation software and measurements taken from physical models. The generation of energy through integrated PV facades and PV shading systems is discussed with reference to design and efficiency. This book will be invaluable for all engineers, architects, and designers who are interested in energy-efficient design.
