Commercially and in multi-unit developments, external shade devices had been in decline due to the increased use of smart glass. Smart Glass is not really providing enough protection and this is creating significant problems in the industry as glass tower and glass box occupants are suffering radiant heat stress. This situation can best be avoided by planning external sunshades in the initial building design.
Provided the external sunshade is fitted during base building construction and is connected to a Building Management System (or equivalent), relevant Green Star™ credit points may be able to be achieved.
