Research on Shading Effects of Novel Electric Louver Components Based on Performance Simulation in Areas with Hot Summer and Warm Winter
There is a great demand for building sunshade in areas with hot summer and warm winter. Taking a certain building in Guangzhou as an example, the Ecotect software was used to calculate solar radiation and daylighting coefficients, while Energyplus was adopted for calculations of the regional outdoor total air cooling under ideal load, with the shading and energy-saving effects of the novel electric louver components analyzed. Furthermore, these effects were compared with three basic shading methods (external shading, internal shading, and intermediate shading) as well as a comprehensive shading method combining the novel electric louver components with horizontal panels, and the differences in shading and energy consumption reduction effects were analyzed. The simulation found that the comprehensive shading method has the best sunshade effects with greater flexibility, which provides reference for sunshade design for areas with hot summer and warm winter.
