Review of simulation modeling for shading devices in buildings

In literature, there are many studies that have been done to designate the energy performance of shading devices in buildings by using simulation tools. This study focuses both on the shading device types used in the building sector and the previous studies done for designating the performance aspects of different shading devices types. Numerous studies for different building types located in different climatic regions have been reviewed in order to underline the importance of simulation modeling for shading devices in buildings.
