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.

New shading system, which is Grating Louver System into a pair glass, is proposed for integrated lighting system between Daylight Responsive Dimming Systems and shading system in this study. The optimized distance of louvers, which is to block direct sunlight into a space, is calculated. Grating Louver System was simulated using Desktop Radiance 2.0 of lighting simulation software for comparing daylight distribution and changes of control slope by distance from window to back wall with roller shading system controlled by sun profile angle.
