2. Comparative performance of solar protection systems

Now that the transmission diagrams are known, we can compare the solar shading performance of the different configurations studied, for two reference orientations: south and west.

2.1 South-facing

2.1.1 Canopies and screens with horizontal blades

In a south-facing position, even a shallow awning is effective if the requirement is to let in the winter sun and block out the summer sun. Given the climatic conditions in the south of France, and at a latitude of 45° N, a 60° angle of occultation...
