External shading devices are well known solar control devices that can help reduce the cooling load of commercial buildings. For this study, experiments were conducted to examine the feasibility of shading devices in reducing both the cooling and heating loads. The influence of sky radiant cooling during winter was verified for the external shading device, internal roller blind, and window. Results can be summarized as follows. The temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the window with the external shading device was 11.8℃ compared to 14.6℃ for one without the external shading device. This 2.8℃ difference was due to heat exchange by sky radiation when the surface temperature of the shading device was lower than the ambient outdoor air temperature. The roller blind resulted in a lower temperature of 0.8℃ compared to the average temperature of the window's air cavity. This was due to heat exchange by sky radiation of the roller blind surfaces. Without shading devices, the outside surface temperature of the window is about 3℃ higher. The study also found that when external shading devices were installed on both the southwest and southeast sides, the outside surface temperature of the windows were lower on the southwest side than the southeast side.

A recent research trend on the Daylight Responsive Dimming Systems, using available daylight for energy savings, is to integrate automated roller shading systems and venetian blind systems which are vertically controlling daylight to indoor based on sun profile angle. Therefore, this paper suggests Grating Louver System into a pair glass as a new shading system, which can control daylight vertically and horizontally. The optimized spacing of louvers, which is to block direct sunlight into a space, was calculated. And then, the system was simulated for analysis and evaluation of characteristics of daylight by Desktop Radiance 2.0.

The majority of fixed shading devices are installed in the exterior of a building in order to dissipate the heat absorbing from the sun and to prevent the direct sunlight. In designing external shading devices for windows, many requirements must be considered simultaneously; solar geometry, optimum energy performance, multi-purpose usage and design factors etc.. In order Lo satisfy these requirements, we suggests the folding shading device and its optimum design methodology. Also we analyzed the thermal performance using the IES_VE program according to various operating modes and compared with existing shading devices. The results show that proposed device reduce about $1.90{\sim}22.40%$ in cooling load and about $1.09{\sim}24.22%$ in heating load in comparison with existing ones.

The shading device on the window of the building can be an passive solution to reduce the cooling load and lighting energy, as well as improving the indoor comfort. It is also an architectural element that must be considered for building energy-efficient buildings such as eco-buildings and zero-energy buildings. However, due to various building environments and various shading devices, the installation of excessive shade may lead to the risk of losing the effectiveness of windows. In this study, we propose a method for optimal automatic control of shading device and evaluate its effectiveness by energy analysis of several shading devices.

There is no comprehensive consensus of the control patterns people op::rate shadings or the motivating factors that influence their decisions. Patterns of shading devices use can affect the energy consumption of buildings. Therefore, this study aims to analyze shading device usage patterns based on the physical factors that can affect occupants behavior. First, control patterns of indoor shading devices in apartment buildings were monitored by taking pictures. Next, frequency of shading device use together with their shading portions was analyzed based on two physical factors such as window orientation and floor level. The results showed that about 35% of the monitored apartment buildings utilized indoor shading devices. Also, the south-facing apartments were more dynamically used than their east-facing counterparts. On the contrary, there was no general trend in regards to the shading operation patterns.

The most realistic way to reduce noise outside the building, such as road traffic noise and aircraft noise, is to strengthen the sound insulation performance at the sound collecting points such as balconies, windows, and exterior walls of each building. However, in light of the reality that shading devices outside buildings are not yet widely used, there are not many studies on sound insulation performance improvement using external windows and window devices such as louvers and blinds. In particular, external blinds can not only block the inflow of strong sunlight in the morning and evening from the outside of the building, but also target the sound insulation effect that blocks the peak noise that occurs during commuting hours. In this study, a study was conducted to improve sound insulation performance against external noise by using an external electric blind (EEB), which is one of the most efficient window and door external shading devices. Various sound insulation performance tests were conducted while changing the configuration of external electric blinds developed for light blocking purposes. Through this, it was verified that an additional sound insulation performance of 6 dB can be obtained by installing an external electric blind compared to the reduction performance of general windows.

최근 친환경 에너지와 주변 환경을 응용하는 기술이 발달함에 있어 환경 에너지의 관심이 높아지고 있다. 특히 태양빛은 에너지와 환경적 측면에서 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있으므로 그러한 태양열을 이용한 장치의 연구는 사람의 쾌적한 삶을 위해 필요하다고 할 수 있을 것이다. 그중에 실내로 유입되는 태양빛을 조절하는 장치로 커텐, 블라인드, 자외선 차단 유리등 여러 가지 있지만 상업건물에서 가장 효과적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 시스템 중 하나는 Awning시스템을 많이 사용하고 있다. 이러한 제품은 오존층 문제등의 환경에 관심이 높아지면서 전원주택 및 상가 등을 중심으로 새롭게 관심이 고조되고 있으며, 모양과 기능이 다양하게 개발되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 Awning 시스템은 포리에스테르 또는 아크릴 원착사 원단을 이용한 고정식과 접이식이 있으며 차양시스템은 수동과 자동이 있다. 이러한 시스템은 대부분 태양의 직사광선이나 비를 차단 할 수 있는 기능만 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Awning 시스템에 솔라 판넬을 이용한 친환경 자동 Awning 시스템의 개발이 필요하다. 이 Awning 시스템은 직사광선의 차양 및 빗물방지 와 태양에너지를 얻을 수 있도록 개발 한다.
