Development of the Automated Shading Device: Its Effects on the Indoor Thermal Environments

The prototype of automated shading devices to prevent the excessive effects of solar radiation entering the indoor space has been developed. It worked based on the sun-path data and used Arduino to control the movement. The performance had been tested to examine the algorithms, and it showed promisi...

description The prototype of automated shading devices to prevent the excessive effects of solar radiation entering the indoor space has been developed. It worked based on the sun-path data and used Arduino to control the movement. The performance had been tested to examine the algorithms, and it showed promising results. This study focuses on the effects of the automated shading device on indoor thermal environments. This prototype was implemented in one of three 3x3-meter test houses with 0.8×0.8 meters of west-side window(hereinafter TH1).
