A Review of Optical Properties of Shading Devices
Abstract
The optical properties of shading devices have an impact upon the daylighting and thermal performance of a building's perimeter spaces. This chapter presents an overview of past and current approaches in computing the optical properties of shading devices. Optical properties are determined by the different components of visible and solar transmittance, reflectance and absorptance. Emphasis is given to the three major types of shading used today: venetian blinds, roller shades/screens and draperies. Comparisons between experimental procedures and analytical and numerical modelling techniques are presented, and limitations in existing models and standards are discussed. The final section describes the latest generalized methods and models for characterizing complex fenestration/shading systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
