Energy Efficiency of External Perforated Window Solar Screens in Desert Environments: Effect of Screen Surface Reflectance

Abstract: In hot-arid desert environments, solar radiation passing through windows increases buildings energy consumption. Shading of windows can reduce these loads. Previous research proved that external deep perforated solar screens can achieve up to 30% energy savings. Solar screen colors should be taken into consideration as the lighter the color, the more transmitted proportion of radiation due to increased reflectance, hence affecting daylighting and buildings thermal performance.This paper investigated the influe… Show more
