This document discusses sunshades and their ability to reduce energy costs and improve building performance. It notes that commercial buildings consume a large portion of energy and that sun controls can help lower that usage. The document lists various sunshade products that are effective at sun control and mentions their ability to increase occupant comfort while decreasing costs. It also references the LEED program and how sunshades can help earn credits related to energy usage.
Bacon & Van Buskirk provided custom sunshades for the Eastern Illinois University Human Services Building. The architect wanted sunshades to control heat and light but bids came over budget. Bacon & Van Buskirk offered alternatives to reduce costs while keeping the design. They engineered, furnished and installed fenestration systems and sunshades. The 4-foot deep sunshades provided ample shade and matched the building. Bacon & Van Buskirk's sunshades effectively shade windows and interiors from direct sunlight.
Orbital's thermal control louvers are lightweight, self-contained devices that maintain temperature control over a wide range without using any power. They have a long flight heritage in various satellite missions and sizes. Louvers work by using bi-metallic sensors to control the opening and closing of polished aluminum blades, allowing heat to dissipate as temperatures increase and reflecting heat as temperatures decrease. Custom louvers can be developed to meet unique mission requirements.
This document discusses shading devices and their use in architecture in Jaisalmer, India. It defines shading devices as purpose-built structures that protect from sunlight and natural light. The document describes different types of shading devices, including vertical, horizontal, and egg-crate devices. It also discusses the climate and location of Jaisalmer and how structures there utilize features like dense clustering, orientation, and courtyards to provide natural cooling without electricity. Specific architectural examples from Jaisalmer like Nathmalji Haveli are also summarized, highlighting shading elements like jharokhas, chatris, and chajjas.
The document discusses solar control and shading. It begins by explaining that shading is needed to prevent solar radiation from contributing to discomfort when temperatures are within or above the comfort zone, but may be desirable to allow solar heating at cooler times. There are three effects of solar radiation entering a room: heating surfaces, increasing mean radiant temperature, and causing glare. The function of shading is to eliminate these three effects. Shading design must consider factors like air flow, daylight admission, and views. Exterior shading is most effective for solar control while interior shading provides visual comfort and control. The document provides details on types of exterior and interior shading devices and their effectiveness.
The document discusses different climate types and their key characteristics:
- Climate Hot and Humid located between 15°N-S with day temperatures 27-32°C, high humidity, and annual rainfall of 2000-5000mm.
- Hot and Dry located 15-30°N/S with day temperatures 43-49°C, low humidity, and low annual rainfall of 50mm.
- Composite climate near tropics with temperatures and rainfall varying between dry and wet seasons.
The document provides information on various EYE brand ceramic metal halide lamps, including:
- The EYE Cera Arc Natural Red lamp which has a color rendering rating of R9 ≥90 for red colors.
- The EYE Cera Arc 2800K lamp which provides warm white light similar to incandescent bulbs.
- Additional EYE Cera Arc lamps in a range of color temperatures from 2800K to 5500K.
