Stage 03
Shading
Assign each opening to its storey and occupancy, then classify it as shaded, unshaded or southern from its orientation and shading geometry.What you will learn
- Link shading to the correct storey and occupancy.
- Enter projection geometry in the selected unit.
- Understand the shaded, unshaded and southern result categories.
Prepare before you start
- Opening schedule
- Storey and occupancy allocation
- Sections or elevations showing projection, height and opening dimensions
Step by step
Complete this stage
1
Choose the opening
Select the opening name that the shading device serves so the result remains traceable.
2
Enter measured geometry
Use dimensions from coordinated elevations or sections and keep the project unit consistent.
3
Review the calculated relationship
For applicable solar orientations, compare entered P with required P = H x multiplier. Southern-sector openings remain a separate category.
4
Repeat for different devices
Create separate entries when openings have different overhangs, fins or installation conditions.
Quality check
- Dimensions come from the current drawing issue.
- Each opening is assigned to the occupancy it serves.
- The result category is shaded, unshaded or southern rather than a generic pass label.
