Shaderade: Combining Rhinoceros and Energyplus for the Design of Static Exterior Shading Devices

چکیده
This paper examines several existing methods of static shading device design, and presents a new approach called SHADERADE. The approach is implemented as an eponymous tool based on Rhinoceros® and EnergyPlus, and offers flexible, novel techniques for assessing the thermal desirability of solar transmittance through any potential shading volume or surface. Using simulated sidelit offices located in Anchorage, Boston and Phoenix, it is shown that SHADERADE is able to consistently generate shading systems with improved thermal performance vis-à-vis existing methods. It is also shown that the approach can handle curved geometries with ease, and can effeciently manage the sizing of shading devices by identifying regions that matter most. The authors hope that these capacities will facilitate a more effective, less prescriptive approach to shading design.

This work reviews the effect of parametric programming on visual performance, daylighting and shading in office buildings in Tehran-Iran and studies their influences that help not only to reduce the glare but also to promote useful daylight illuminance through promoting visual comfort. It starts by establishing a review of the effective parameters on visual comfort indices, glare indices, and d...
متن کاملDesign and Energy Performance of a Buoyancy Driven Exterior Shading Device for Building Application in Taiwan
Traditional dynamic shading systems are usually driven by electricity for continuously controlling the angle of blind slats to minimize the indoor solar heat gain over times. This paper proposed a novel design of buoyancy driven dynamic shading system, using only minimum amount of electricity. The energy performance and the improved thermal comfort induced by the system were simulated by Energy...
متن کاملSearch for the optimal shape of fixed exterior shading in a cooling-dominated climate
A well known heuristic sets the length of an overhang as the intersection of lines joining window's top and bottom edges with the respective positions of the sun during the solstices, thus providing complete shade during the summer solstice and full insolation during the winter solstice. The solstices, however, are just two isolated moments, while the solar energy influences building's heat bal...

In this paper, by combining fractional calculus and sliding mode control theory, a new fractional order adaptive terminal sliding mode controller is proposed for the maximum power point tracking in a solar cell. To find the maximum power point, the incremental conductance method has been used. First, a fractional order terminal sliding mode controller is designed in which the control law depend...
