Effects of the splayed window type on daylighting and solar shading

The results reveal that the ratio of the exterior and interior window opening areas and orientation have significant influences on the integrated performance in daylighting and solar shading, and the West orientation is identified to be the best for usage of this window type. Similar performances are found in other locations and RDA/SC is found to have a strong positive correlation with the incident solar radiation and the splayed window will be more effective in locations with high incident solar radiation in terms of solar shading and daylighting.
