Computer simulation of shading profile on windows from overhang and fin shading devices

Abstract

This paper presents the use of computer program to simulate shading profile and to calculate the
shading area from the shading devices, which are fin type and overhang type. The results from the
program were conducted to compare with the experiment. The shading device models of the 20 x 10
cm2 fin type and the 25 x 10 cm2 overhang type were used in the experiment during 1.30-4.30 PM.
The compared results of shading area show that it was about 10% in difference. The obtainable values
from this program could determine the shading coefficient value for solving the OTTV equation for
buildings.
