fall, winter and spring (e.g, The Middle East). Ambient temperatures moderate
somewhat from summer extremes, but the low solar altitudes are throwing
radiation load at the windows at a much more direct angle, frequently “under”
the lip of our overhangs and canopies.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Without more specifics, I think we can only give you some
general advice/suggestions… I haven’t tried this, but if you’re trying to
observe results with/without the shade, maybe you should just delete the shade
instead of altering transmittance and see if anything changes?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Overhangs/shades/canopies and the like can both help and hurt
over the course of the year. From what we’ve heard I don’t think you’re
doing anything wrong in application. I might take these results as a sign
you need to carefully reconsider your canopy design with respect to how it is
blocking sunlight.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Rather than focusing on overall cooling/heating energy spent,
you might do well to identify which specific internal/external load components
are changing significantly. If you have any daylighting controls
specifically, watch carefully what’s happening to your lighting energy spent.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">The increase in heating energy is likely because you’ve
eliminated a significant amount of solar gains through fenestrations and opaque
walls by blocking the sun during heating months. Remember that building
shades are shading more than windows!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">In the heating months and from an energy-perspective, a perfect
window shade blocks only as much direct sunlight as is required to prevent
glare issues through windows. Any other direct light is welcome as a free
heating source – both on windows and opaque walls. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">The lesser increase in cooling energy probably has a less direct
conglomeration of reasons… That it’s relatively minor suggests it could
be a lot of things. I would look at whether your simultaneous
cooling/heating hours are changing. For review: In cooling months,
a perfect shade blocks (reflects away) direct light incident on windows <u>and</u>
opaque walls to minimize solar thermal loads, but still lets indirect light
inside windows for daylighting purposes without obstructing views to an unacceptable
level. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Another potentially odd daylight/thermal behavior interaction
I’ve observed: If you end up really cutting down your lighting energy
spent, you might observe a corresponding increase in heating energy spent, as
you’re effectively eliminating a heating source in the winter by not running
your lights at 100%.</span></p>
