If you?re a member of the architectural and design community who still consider window coverings as an afterthought, then you need to learn more about the emerging field of engineered shading solutions.

Engineered shading solutions are sustainable systems for interior and exterior window coverings that engage the latest technologies to control heat, glare, and light.

In this guidebook, you?ll learn how:

? window coverings can be incorporated into building envelopes;
? engineered shading solutions can further sustainable design;
? building control systems operate interior and exterior shading;

Living or working in a building with too much solar heat gain, glare, or light can harm occupants, and engineers, architects, and designers cannot afford to make clients unhappy. Provide what they need and incorporate successful sustainable solutions with An Architect?s Guide to Engineered Shading Solutions.
