The Use of Sun-Shielding Structures in Large-Scale Light-Transparent Facades for Passive Compensation of Heat Loss to Maintain a Comfortable Room Microclimate

Abstract

Despite the widespread use of translucent facades of large areas in the architecture of civil buildings, a large number of technical issues related to improving the strength and heat-shielding characteristics of the main materials for the manufacture of facade structures remain unresolved. This article discusses the main options for technical measures to ensure the required heat-shielding characteristics of translucent building envelopes, which directly affect the climate comfort in the premises of civil buildings with large glazing areas. The results of this study make it possible to streamline theoretical and technical information on ways to passively compensate for the influence of large glazing areas on the climatic characteristics of the air environment in civil buildings.
