Abstract

Buildings protect people from external climatic influences. The envelope structures of the building mitigate the impact of changes in the external environment. However, in recent decades we have been facing climate change, which is affected by many factors and the construction industry is one of them. As a result of long-term climate change, we can expect a more frequent series of warm days. In many cases, existing constructions cannot adapt to sudden climate changes. In summer, buildings overheat due to excessive solar radiation. It causes internal discomfort and temperature stress in the indoor environment. Summer overheating of buildings is influenced by many factors, but the potential source of excessive heat is unwanted solar gains through transparent constructions. This paper presents an overview of the elimination options of solar gains through transparent surfaces of envelope structures. Furthermore, it also deals with assessing the efficiency of the shading systems concerning thermal comfort and sufficient daylight in the workspace.
