Building Sun-shade

In the hot and dry environment, building shading has significant influence on the indoor temperature.

In order to avoid direct sunlight, a number of external sun-shade components are designed.

The gaps between the shading panels and the walls form air microcirculation around the windows, which is conducive to carry off the surrounding heat. The architectural technology of this sunshade system has high durability with in-situ concreting.

• Insulation is the simple and effective way to reduce the indoor temperature.

• All the roofs are designed with thermal insulating layers, which are prefabricated concrete panels, to reduce the heat transmission.

• Buildings are mostly designed with the opened veranda of two sides’ entrances, forming good natural convection and improving the physical experience of people inside.

• The gaps between the shading panels and the walls form air microcirculation around the windows, which is conducive to carry off the surrounding heat.

• Precipitation is quite low throughout the year.

• However, the heavy rainfall is intense with strong winds, the leaves and dust blown by strong wind could plug the drain normally.

• Open-designed drainage is easy to clean and meanwhile presents an important facade element.

• The local loose sandy soil is conducive to the natural infiltration of rain as well.
