Smart Design of Portable Indoor Shading Device for Visual Comfort—A Case Study of a College Library

With the development of architectural technology, the use of floor-to-ceiling windows has emerged widely. The ensuing problem is that more and more students and office workers are suffering from direct sunlight while working in specific areas. Based on the pain points of the working process, this st...
