Abstract

In this chapter, we review the methodology used in current overhang research. The first section discusses simulation methods and algorithms, both those developed specifically for overhangs and those developed for general shading calculations in simulation engines. The second section is concerned with the ways of quantifying overhang effectiveness in the research literature, from the viewpoints of both thermal and visual performance. Genetic algorithms are the most used optimisation approach in overhang design, as well as in general building energy optimisation. The third section, in addition to describing the work and practical setup of genetic algorithms, reviews the overhang studies employing them.
