Shading

Openings tab in model data under External Glazing, Internal Glazing and Roof Glazing headers

You can select two types of shading for external windows:

• Window shading (blinds, curtains  etc walls and roofs).
• Local shading (overhangs, louvres, sidefins on external walls only)

These types of shading can be used individually or combined.

Other shading mechanisms supported by DesignBuilder are:

• Component blocks
• Assemblies

Window and Local shading are both covered in the Solar Shading Tutorial
