Abstract

The chapter delves into the methodologies used for simulating the shading effects of overhangs on buildings. It begins by examining older methods specifically developed for overhangs, which considered factors like solar radiation and overhang dimensions. The chapter then transitions to discussing general methods used in modern simulation engines, such as polygon clipping and pixel counting. It also explores techniques for speeding up calculations by grouping solar positions and analyzes the influence of solar positions and input parameter uncertainties on shading calculations. Additionally, the chapter covers optimization approaches, including genetic algorithms and surrogate models, to find optimal overhang designs that balance thermal and visual performance. The text concludes by emphasizing the importance of considering both thermal and daylighting performance indicators in the design of energy-efficient overhangs.
