Creating Shading Mask
Step 1: Find out profile angles of window to shading device
Creating Shading Mask
Step 2: Draw in profile angles on shading mask
Creating Shading Mask - basic overhang window
Step 3: Fill in shading mask that is shaded by building
Creating Shading Mask - basic overhang window
Step 4: Fill in shading mask where profile angles overlap
Creating Shading Mask - basic overhang window
Step 5: Overlay Sunpath to determine when the building
is and is not being shaded

2- The Openings
General
Location of openings affects light distribution and the
perception of distribution
Openings on one wall only tend to allow too much light through that one
opening which overlites the window wall area and underlights the more distant
areas.
Openings on more than one wall will allow smaller window areas to be used
on various walls, provide more even lighting distribution and brighten
potentially dark areas. Bi and Multilateral openings can provide an even more
diffuse lighting
