Designing window shading that balances often contradictory goals of preventing excessive heat gains in hot periods, without compromising beneficial heat gains in cold periods or visual comfort in indoor spaces of modern buildings with highly glazed facades, is an interesting multi-objective optimisation problem that represents an active research topic in the field of building energy and daylighting. Window overhangs are the simplest and most traditional shading devices that are easy to install, highly cost-effective, require low or no maintenance and offer unobstructed views outside. This book provides a review of overhang design methods for optimal thermal and daylighting performance. It starts with a historical overview of methods based on solar positions and shading masks. Next it discusses current research methodology, including shading calculation methods, ways of quantifying thermal and daylighting overhang effectiveness and the use of multi-objective optimisation approaches, together with the case studies that employ them. It further covers methods for designing innovative overhang types such as NURBS outlined overhangs and PV integrated dynamic overhangs. The appendix classifies published overhang case studies according to major climate type and latitude of their locations. As such, the book presents a valuable resource for understanding subtle nuances of interaction between solar radiation, shading devices and indoor comfort. The intended target audience are building energy researchers interested in optimisation of window shading devices. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Architectural Design and Technology,$x2199-5818 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aComputer simulation 606 $aSustainability 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aHeat engineering 606 $aHeat$xTransmission 606 $aMass transfer 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management 606 $aComputer Modelling 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aComputer simulation. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aHeat engineering. 615 0$aHeat$xTransmission. 615 0$aMass transfer. 615 14$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 615 24$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aComputer Modelling. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer. 676 $a720.483 700 $aStevanovic$b Sanja$01257681 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910592993503321 996 $aOverhang Design Methods$92914378 997 $aUNINA
