Solar Shading Performance of Different Louver Shading Materials in Hot Summer and Cold Winter Zone

The aim of this paper is to investigate the solar shading performance of louver shading materials. Regression analysis is used to compare the potential performance of horizontal and vertical louver shading materials. Results show that louver shading is not suitable for north facing windows and has little improvement of shading performance in south orientation. For east windows in the west orientation, horizontal louver shading performs well only in summer. Horizontal and vertical shading materials have similar shading performance in summer and winter.
