Mechanical cooling energy reduction for commercial buildings in hot climates: effective use of external solar shading incorporating effects on daylight contribution

This paper investigates the effectiveness of multiple external shading devices and identifies the most effective fixed external shading configurations for commercial building types in hot climates. Daylight contribution is also analysed in detail in order to monitor the daylighting factor reduction...
