Shade Overhang Efficiency
เกี่ยวกับ eBook เล่มนี้
The book emphasizes that strategically designed overhangs are not just aesthetic features but essential components of passive solar design, offering a cost-effective way to lower cooling costs.
It delves into solar geometry, explaining how the sun's position affects building energy performance, and examines the impact of different building materials on overhang efficiency.
The book progresses from theory to practical application, starting with fundamental concepts of solar radiation and heat transfer.
It then examines design considerations like latitude, orientation, and overhang depth, using case studies and simulations to demonstrate optimization for various climates.
Readers will discover how different overhang types, such as horizontal, vertical, and angled designs, can be implemented.
The book concludes with real-world examples of buildings successfully using overhangs for significant energy savings, making it a valuable resource for architects, engineers, and anyone interested in sustainable building practices.
