This course covers design solutions for using shading systems to help building owners save money and eliminate occupant discomforts from glare, lack of quality views, thermal discomfort, and poor air quality. Shading system provides comfort, economic savings, and can add to the LEED projects by contributing to more than seven credits in versions 4 and 4.1. In addition to looking at the benefits, this course highlights systems, the fabric openness factor, and describes what automation can do for your project; It helps you to answer the question to motorize or not. Effective shading systems can help improve employee productivity by creating an optimal indoor temperature between 68-73 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing for quality views of the outdoors, and reducing the adverse effects of glare on the work surface. In creating such an environment, scientific studies have witnessed productivity levels rise as high as 21% while reducing absenteeism.
