... demand and on-site renewable power generation by deploying tracking PV panels. The energy performance of dynamic PV-integrated overhangs is considered for various design and operation conditions. Specifically, the impacts of various design features are considered such as overhang depth, window size...

... assessment. Proper glass choice is essential to reduce energy consumption, as the most intense heat exchange occurs through the windows. This research aimed to investigate the influence of IGU use on conditioned office buildings’ energy performance for nine different climates in Brazil, including tropical...

..., and electrical peak demand. The most promising dynamic shading is the rotating overhang and is evaluated further using a wide range of design and operation conditions. It is found that rotating overhangs can provide effective and easily controllable dynamic shading systems for windows to reduce the energy...
