Shading devices are tools designed to block direct sunlight and create a comfortable internal environment, helping to reduce heat gain and cooling costs. They come in two main types: internal (like curtains and blinds) and external (such as horizontal and vertical shades). Effective design involves understanding sunlight paths and selecting appropriate types and dimensions for optimal performance.

4. WHY SHADING DEVICES ?
• To reduce heat gain during summer, reduce the cooling loads and
therefore minimize costs.
• Improving internal environment for greater comfort.
• Some shading devices improve the internal or external aesthetics of
building.
• Therefore it is essential to use shading devices.

9. DESIGNING SHADING DEVICES
1. Understand the path of the place
2. Select shading type:
• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Egg-crate
3. Identify category : fixed, adjustable
4. Dimensions : Understanding vertical and horizontal sun angles
